Native earns praise for clean ingredients, standout scents (Coconut & Vanilla, Cucumber & Mint, Lilac & White Tea, Citrus & Herbal Musk) and comfortable, non-irritating wear for many, but reviews say performance is inconsistent: the deodorant often fades by midday, struggles in heat/workouts, can leave white residue or shirt stains, and some experience rashes or gritty texture. Reviews of body wash and hair care skew positive for gentle lather and pleasant aromas, though a few find body wash drying and shampoos underwhelming. Overall, Native is a good natural option if you don’t sweat heavily and will reapply; heavy sweaters may need stronger protection.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I loved their vanilla deodorant. It isn't an antiperspirant so it won't help with sweating, but it did a great job of stopping smells. It also doesn't leave any marks on black clothing.
Initially I loved native deodorant, I got one of the mixed packs and one of the scents made me rash, so I switched back to only using the vanilla and coconut one and have been using it for years, unfortunately the vanilla and coconut one has started to give me a rash, so I stopped using it. I have one left and I’ll give it another go. Not sure it the formula changed or what
I really wanted to love this product. I had so much fun going through all the different scents and found multiple that I liked! They had a lot of great scents - definitely a scent for everyone. However, it didn't last long. The texture was smooth but when it came to coverage, it's not going to last all day. I'll also note that their tiny one is really cute and convenient!

I tried so hard to love their deodorant but it made me smell worse than if I just didn’t wear any
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.

Remove the plastic!

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...

more collabs with fun scents :)
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.
