Native reviews and discussion

67% of reviewers would recommend to a friend

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.

  • I love Native deodorant, especially the sensitive line with the formula update they just did. It didn’t leave a stain on my clothes or make my underarms white which is always a plus. I have recommended this item to several of my friends.

    Feedback

    I wish there was more availability of the Native deodorant sensitive line and the various sensitive scents easily available in stores. Also, why not make all of your deodorants in plastic free containers or make them reusable and we just buy the actual deodorant to refill.

  • I was so excited to try it because the scents are truly fantastic but after a short amount of time, I could tell it wasn’t working for me. I definitely wouldn’t recommend for anyone living in a hot/humid area.

  • Smells nice but not long lasting and does not help with sweat. Also caused discomfort when applying after shaving.

    Product effectiveness could be improved

  • It is one of the better natural deodorants that I have come across. The scent isn't to strong so you can still wear it with perfume. All in all, this is the one suggest. Especially if you live in humid areas.

    Feedback

    The biggest issues is if I bring it out of the house it damn near melts. Even from when I buy it to driving home. I don't even live in a hot state. I feel like that would make it so much better.

  • I love their scents but they only last a few hours even if I’m not doing anything too physical. I end up with bad body odor unless I keep reapplying it. It’s happened to me with other natural deodorants, but Native was made me smell worse faster.

    Feedback

    I would continue using it if it lasted longer or absorbed my sweat more.

  • I love the scents and it lasts for the entire day.

    Feedback

    They are a bit pricey, but worth it overall.

  • Love the product , but a bit expensive.

  • I really like this deodorant. Its simple and clean. It does leave a white residue but it’s easy to get rid of. Certain scents don’t really leave a fresh scent all day but I think that’s just trial and error until you find one that works.

    Feedback

    The packaging

  • Listen maybe this deodorant or natrual ones are just not my thing,but i detoxed my armpits and i still smelt bad after one hour of use and i don't even sweat. Not even while working out. It smelt good but all in all i switched back to secret

    Feedback

    I have no clue ,but this is very expensive for not working

  • I love native, this past year I’ve prioritized clean and ethical brands. The smells are always on point and I love that I’m not putting toxins on my body.

    Feedback

    It leaves little streak marks sometimes which is not the cutest

  • Absolutely loved the smell but I broke out in a rash when I used it. I thought maybe my body would get used to it but the rash, burning, and itching didn’t go away so I had to stop using it.

    Feedback

    Finding a better formula that is more sensitive to skin

  • I love their deodorant! I use the cucumber mint and it has me smelling fresh all day!

    Feedback

    I get this product I. Their plastic-free packaging but honestly the price is a bit steep. I would love this product even more if it was a bit more affordable.

  • I like this product. Smells good, the stick holds up, but I'm an extremely sweaty person, and I dont know that this does anything for me on a hot summer day. Winter time deodorant, sure.

  • Fragrance is nice, packaging is simple, but the deodorizing function lacks. This has to be re applied several times through out the day, maybe more if you’re a sweater.

    Feedback

    The strength

  • The scents they offer set them apart from other deodorant brands in my option.

    Feedback

    Like more natural deodorant brands one might argue this might not work as well

  • Natural and effective! Amazing scents too.

    Feedback

    Pricing: wish it was a bit cheaper.

  • I’m gonna be honest it took literally months for my body to adapt to natural deodorant but now I’m hooked. I love the scents, love that it washes off easily and doesn’t leave behind the gross residue that normal deodorant leaves on your skin, and I actually sweat less now that I’ve been using this for over a year.

    Feedback

    The plastic free packaging option for the deodorant is a tad flimsy and definitely DO NOT get it wet because it will fall apart but I guess that’s to be expected with paper packaging.

  • Love love love this! They make a plastic free packaging version now and it's my go to!

  • This didn’t work for me but I liked the scent and idea. I had more odor than normal.

    Feedback

    I’m not sure if it can be improved for a natural deodorant. I haven’t had any luck with any of them.
