Native reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Sophisticated, natural-leaning fragrances
  • Clean, cruelty-free formulations
  • Comfortable, smooth application
  • Non-stripping, lathery body washes
  • Inconsistent odor protection
  • White residue and staining
  • Gritty, sticky deodorant texture
  • Can cause underarm irritation

Native earns praise in reviews for clean ingredients, refined scents (Coconut & Vanilla, Eucalyptus & Mint, Lilac & White Tea) and comfortable, non-irritating wear for many, but effectiveness is inconsistent: several reviewers report odor breakthrough, frequent reapplication, staining, and texture issues. Reviews note body wash and haircare smell fresh and lather well, while deodorant can underperform in heat or workouts and sometimes causes rashes or gritty residue.

  • The products smell nice, but the texture/consistency is not my favorite.

  • the only natural deodorant that has actually worked for me.

  • I love the scents that they offer and feel that they are working toward a more eco friendly packaging which is amazing!

    Feedback

    Unfortunately, my skin always breaks out from their formulation, regardless of the sensitive skin formula. The product seems to clog my pores and breaks me out, which is the last thing I want under my arms.

  • High quality deodorant that comes in a variety of unique scents that smell great.

    Feedback

    Dries up pretty easily

  • I like how none of their deodorants have aluminum in them and how they are all natural. Smells clean too

    Feedback

    I dont like how it only lasts about an hour and then my armpits start smelling and I also don’t like the rough texture when putting it on.

  • Natural deodorant is a tricky mark to hit. I can't say for certain that any have truly worked, but Native's deos are my favorite so far. The scent options are great (especially love the Vanilla and Sandalwood, smells like Santal) and the packaging is sleek, simple, standard. I like that they have a sensitive skin option without baking soda, as I definitely noticed skin irritation after extended use, which is common. The smell lasts longest out of all brands I've tried!

    Feedback

    Would like to see more scents in the sensitive skin style - that baking soda irritation is really common.

  • I have the body and hair wash and I loveeee it. My favorite to use

    Feedback

    Nothing I love it, it’s my favorite body wash ever

  • I actually had a roommate leave a stick of this after he moved to France. I thought it smelled nice and gave it a try. I'm totally happy with it. It smells lovely and isn't as over powering as a lot of other sticks.

    Feedback

    Honestly I don't think I'd change much.

  • Love their range of scents, packaging, and the fact that it's made of more natural ingredients. I also noticed I don't have to use as much product when applying it since it's denser than other deodorants I've used.

    Feedback

    It actually irritated my skin the first time I used it due to how rough the texture was, but after a few more uses it became more smooth and easy to use. Definitely not a deodorant I'd use if it's going to be a hot day or if I'm going to be running around all day since it wears off pretty easily so I use it for more cooler and chill days.

  • I tried it but felt like I stunk a couple hours later. I just didn't feel like it did the job. I do have excessive sweat so maybe that was my problem.

    Feedback

    Make something for people who have excessive sweat.

  • I got the Sea Salt & Cedar, smells amazing. Scent last a long time. I like that if I run out and need more they have it at my local supermarket. The only thing I don't like about the product is if you use too much it pills.

  • Loved using Native deo products - the ingredient list is on point and I feel great about using it on my skin.

  • Smells great but didn't last a while.

    Feedback

    The scent or stain protection doesn't last a while like non-natural deodorant does.

  • I have been using this deodorant for over a year now. It is great! The scents are light so it doesn't interfere with any perfume I might be wearing. The deodorant lasts the whole day long!

    Feedback

    The sensitive deodorants didn't seem to work for me however the regular deodorant was great.

  • I loooove native products. I love their minimal design and how clean and amazing they smell! I love their body wash the most!

  • Been using for about a year. It works the best of natural deodorant, but sometimes it needs an extra apply during the day.

  • I love the smell and how clean it is! No bad chemicals going into my body when I use it and it has a long lasting scent!
