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.

I know this may sound weird but the scent that I bought (Cotton and Lily) mixed really well with my skin and helped keep me smelling clean without being heavy on bad ingredients
Feedback
The plastic packaging was a lot but I have heard they are switching over to non- plastic so thats better. The deodorant is also more expensive than most other deodorants.

The scents are nice but the deodorant didn’t work for me.

It had a pleasant fragrance and applied evenly. The packaging is clean and simple.
Feedback
The strength of the deodorant wasn’t that great. I bought it to use during pregnancy and I was looking for something natural. I found it wasn’t strong enough to last the day

The idea of a natural deodorant is always a great one especially with as many good scents as Native has. Unfortunately I could only get this deodorant to last at max 3 hours before I started smelling musty and had to reapply. What’s worse though is with some scents rather than disappearing, they combined with my own sweat to make a nastier sweet musty smell.
Feedback
Make a longer lasting version that actually deodorizes all day.

The concept is great here. Deodorant worked well for coverage for me.
Feedback
The lack of glide and more smells.

Love Native. At first it didn’t work for me since I was so used to the aluminum antiperspirant but after months of continuous use, I can finally say that my underarms have adjusted and it’s the only deodorant that works for me.

I have used their cucumber + mint scent for about two years and I love it! I am all for keeping things that I’m putting on/in my body as natural as possible, so this product is awesome! I am not a super sweaty/stinky person in general and this keeps me fresh all day through various activities. The only reason this brand (specifically deodorant) doesn’t get 5/5 is because sometimes I feel like mah pits smell a little funky not because they are smelly but because the product gets a little bit funky smelling?? Overall, great product and would recommend.
Feedback
Love it! Best natural deodorant out there.

I wanted to love it but it just doesn’t work. I still smelled and it irritated my skin.
Feedback
Lower the price point and find a way to help prevent smelly pits.

It doesn’t protect at all. It gave me the worst smell ever. I don’t think it has good protection in hot weather.
Feedback
It would be good if it actually works.

I loved the collaboration with the bakery scents. It definitely made me smell great. It lasted a a good 24 hours, and I would raise my arms and smell myself on occasions because I couldn't believe the great scent was coming from me.
Feedback
What I didn't like was that it would wet and stain my clothes, but maybe that was just my body's chemistry with the product.

All of the scents are very nice. It goes on very smooth.

The product informed me that it could take two+ weeks to "detox" from traditional deodorants. They assured me to not worry if it wasn't working traditionally in this "detox" period, or if I smelled cause that was a good sign. Well, it never improved. I gave it a good 6 weeks and it never ever worked. I had to reapply 5+ times a day for any resemblance of de-odorizing to happen, and even then, the scent would wear off probably 30 minutes later. Mind you, this was in the cold winter so I was not sweating hardly at all. Super disappointing and far too pricey for what it is.

I really like all of the scents of Native products. The charcoal and cucumber mint scents are my favorite, however the deodorant does not last very long if you sweat even the slightest bit, but works well if you’re spending the day inside.
Feedback
The deodorant definitely needs to last longer

I have been trying to use natural deodorants more now and this is the best one so far. I really enjoy the charcoal scent.
Feedback
Just like other natural deodorants, this requires constant reapplication. A 24 hour option would be great.

It helped with body odor, but stained my clothes. Anything that wasn’t a dark color had permanent pit stains from the deodorant that I never had show up before I used it.

It took my body a long time to ‘detox’ and adjust to natural deodorant. I tried a couple and landed on Native for how smooth it is applying it and how to I feel as though I don’t smell like others I’ve tried. I use the eucalyptus scent. If you are looking to make the switch, it will take some time (it was about 6 months for me) but it’s worth it for health standards.

As trendy as this deodorant looks and smells its not the deodorant for me :/ Maybe its the aluminum filled terrible deodorant that i was originally brought up on that lasts all day for me but i found myself reapplying after any slightly sweaty endeavor. Not to mention the round clumps it collects throughout the day.
Feedback
Im sure its a very lovable company and brand that helps redesign deodorant in a healthy way but until theres a full-proof alternative similar to secret or degree my pits cannot take the minimal scent coverage of this simple brand

I love the smell of Native and I love that it doesn’t trigger my allergies. There’s a lot of variety to switch up your scent and it doesn’t leave weird residue.
Feedback
Some scents have limited staying power. This is not an anti perspirant, so it does not stop sweat. So if you get really sweaty and sweat it off, not all the scents are created equal, and you may stink a bit.

I think natural deodorant is so hit or miss. I’ve tried a lot. I like the varieties of scents Native offers but I don’t know if it really works the best.
Feedback
Stains clothes if you aren’t careful

I really do like this brand of deodorant but def not worth the price. Wish they still had their bar soap.
