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 tried native after seeing some of my favorite content creators shout them out. I picked them up and found them to be dry and ineffective. I have sensitive skin, so I want to be clear they didn’t cause any negative reaction, but the product was so dry that I had a hard time getting it spread and it was uncomfortable. I tried again, thinking I just had a bad product, but I found everyone I tried was like that.

    Better formula.

  • Love the smells but the deodorant is rough on skin and after a while the shampoo doesn’t perform the same way with washing

    Feedback

    Id love to see a smoother finish with the deodorant

  • First Natural Deodorant that worked.

    Feedback

    Nothing

  • This is a great brand of natural deodorant. Other brands wind up falling directly after applying but Native lasts all day and they have a great scent line too:)

    Feedback

    Honestly, I like it just the way it is. I just hope they never sell out or change the formula

  • I was super excited to try this product, but it left me completely disappointed. For me this product was ineffective. I found myself going back to it numerous times a day and even then it didn’t seem to do it’s job.

    Feedback

    It just doesn’t do what it claims and that issue needs to be addressed.

  • I’ve used the deodorant and I’m not particularly wowed. Doesn’t feel like it’s very effective.

  • Love this brand and their scents.

    Feedback

    I just wish they would use more sustainable packaging for a wider range of their scents and products (ie: toothpaste and body wash.)

  • Don't love. I love all the natural scents but I always veer towards to male scents because the female scents don't usually mask my smell as well. Harsh to put on the armpit. I do love the more natural ingredients though.

    Feedback

    refillable packaging would make me want to purchase this product again.

  • I’ve tried a lot of natural deodorants and most have my sensitive skin rashes after using them for a while. I tried Native expecting the same but I never got a rash! I love the different scents they have and it actually works. I have a monthly subscription now because I love it so much.

    Feedback

    The packaging needs improvement, so much product is wasted because it’s stuck on the bottom plastic piece. I tried the plastic free option but did not like how the cardboard bent.

  • Deodorant works semi-well. I found a better product that didn’t require as much reapplying. But I love the scents and like the ingredients, just wish they would deodorize and last longer.

    Feedback

    Longer lasting deodorizing power

  • As someone who (unfortunately) sweats quite a bit, this didn’t work for me at all. It does smell lovely though and the ingredients are great.

    Feedback

    Natural deodorant just doesn’t seem to work as well in regards to keeping sweat away.

  • I was excited to try Native after seeing so many influencers and Youtubers recommending, but was let down. I became immune to it quickly like every other deodorant I try. Smells great and love the branding, but just didn't work for me.

  • I used the Cucumber and Mint natural deodorant and loved the smell and application. It worked no differently to other deodorant products and I prefer it over other natural brands I’ve tried.

    Feedback

    Packaging could be more sustainable.

  • I loved the theory of it but being heavily reliant on aluminum deodorant this did not help me

  • Lots of scents to choose from however made me extra smelly

    Feedback

    None. Just didn’t work for me

  • It personally didn't stay. I don't smell much at all, so I was surprised when the deodorant was completely gone within an hour or two.

    Feedback

    Making it more long lasting is a good idea

  • The deodorant was good, and smelled great.

    Feedback

    The deodorant yellowed slightly over time since it wasn’t used quickly.

  • Love their unique scents. That is my favorite thing about this brand.

    Feedback

    I wish it were available in more stores near me.

  • I personally did not like the product it did not work for me. I also had to end up purchasing Durady specific for excessive sweating. It smells really nice

    Feedback

    Better antiperspirant
