Native reviews and discussion

Love the mission and the plastic free package options. Smells are really good.

I really like the mini size that they sell in target as it's a great size to just toss into my carry on - smells really nice and feels nice. And I like to buy a few in case my guests ever forget their deodorant since the price is great, too. Might be a good idea for AirBnB hosts as well. The one thing I don't like is that I feel like they don't keep you feeling fresh for super long so you definitely have to re-apply during the day. That's why they're not my go to for everyday. Otherwise, great!

The best deodorant that you can get. I have sensitive skin and this deodorant works great for me!

Full disclosure--this review is NOT about the deodorant but about their body washes and facial cleansers. I'm the type of person who's sensitive to fragrances but appreciates a light scent, which is why Native has worked so well for me. As with any brand that values transparency with ingredients and sustainable practices, I'd recommend.

Love the concept, but don't love the plastic containers. The blackberry pomegranate is my favorite, but some do make my skin break out.

UPDATE: this deodorant might smell amazing/be better for you but it does not last long for odor blockage. I put this on every morning and night and come mid-day I have been finding myself with severe BO -- and I never used to get BO / don't sweat under my arms either. I had to stop using this and go back to Dove...

One of my favorite deodorants that I've been using for sometime. I also recommend trying the body wash (the Citrus and Herbal Musk is my favorite).

i use their spray deodorant sometimes but it burns the daylights out of my armpits like YEEEOOOCCCHHH. good smells but i think the 'clean'-washing is strong with this brand

The cucumber deodorant in the cardboard tube is awesome because it reduced waste. It's also such a wonderful light and lasting fresh scent, one of my favorites. Kinda spendy.

I want to love this product but it does not really work for me. The scents are great and these ease of purchase with a subscription is perfect but as a stinky girl I am going to have to find something a little stronger.

I used to be a big fan of Native, but I feel like the quality of this deodorant has gone downhill ever since it was acquired. I still use their body wash from time to time as I find their scents not to be too overwhelming.

MY FAVORITE DEODORANT! I use the one for sensitive skin without the baking soda because that gives me a reaction and it's so great! The ingredients are awesome and smell stays on for so long! My issue with natural deodorants was always that they didn't last but this one does for sure! Have bought it multiple times and will continue to do so :)

Love the smell and feel great on skin!. Altough it doesn't really keep me fresh for long, however you would be good of reapply

The sword pant initially worked but then didn’t for me

I used this brand for a long time, until I found Hume. This is potentially my second favorite natural deodorant brand that I've tried. It's affordable, easy to use, and does keep you smelling fresh!

Big fan of Native deodorant. I used to use Ursa Major but kept getting skin irritation. Haven't had any issues with Native!

deodorant felt very dry, not sure if I felt like there was much effect in masking odor. body wash smells great.

I HATED this. I only tried the deodorant, but it burned my armpits and did nothing to help with body odor or sweating. I stuck with it for two months and never ONCE saw any benefit or improvement. I’m a super active person, so maybe that played a factor into the effectiveness of the product, but I know multiple other people who had a less than ideal experience with this. The body wash dried my skin out a little too much for my liking as well.

So far i've tried their Fluoride Toothpaste, Body Sunscreen, Shampoo, Conditioner, Hair Mask, Body Wash, and Deodorant. I think the products are fine; they're relatively simple and work as intended. I'm not a fan of the tacky "Candy Cane" or "Gummy Bear" scented products, and I'm really not a fan of the companies unwillingness to disclose what they are putting in their fragrance. Many companies brand themselves as "Safe, Paraben Free, Sulfate Free, etc," while hiding unsafe chemicals behind the "Fragrance/Parfum" ingredient label. While it's hard to tell if Native belongs in that category, since they're unwilling to be transparent about their fragrances, I for one would rather be safe than sorry and not use their products.

I'm all for clean products, and this worked for the first year, but then it stopped working on me. It stopped masking smells and I also couldn't get used to feeling oily in the pits. I like their scents, but unfortunately this product was not meant for longterm use for me.
