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 have used native products ranging from the deodorants to the shower gels. I really enjoyed receiving them and they were well packaged and subscription service was easy. Smell absolutely lovely and was reasonably priced.

    Feedback

    The only improvement I can identify was the product smells didn't last long once used so your skin didn't smell of the product after washing. This is understandable for the sensitive products but would have liked more of the luxury of a good scent once used

  • I love their deodorant and body wash, I tried both and they smelled great and felt awesome, they left me smelling nice even after sports or long days, definitely recommend

    Feedback

    I think that the deodorant was loose from the container which was off but didn’t ruin the product at all.

  • Love the smell of their product and the fact that it's aluminum free. Their website looks good and shipping is fast.

  • Great look/scent (I have the apricot and white peach), some people are skeptical about natural deodorant but I think this does the job for me !!

    Please improve minimal waste packaging and add refill options :)

  • I purchased native after seeing it on lots of youtube sponsorships, firstly the scents are amazinggg. I loved the ethos and that they offer a 100% plastic free deodorant.

    My only issue was the stains I would get on my clothing! not a deal breaker as it washes out easily, but a little annoying.

  • Great deodorant, packaging and customer service.

  • This brand is aluminum free for the products I've purchased which is super hard to find. Great safe natural brand!

  • Smells great, keeps me dry.

    Feedback

    So far so good!

  • This is one of my favorite natural deodorants. Other brands will break me out and burn but this brand does not.

  • I tried the vanilla coconut deodorant. Fabulous clean ingredients and love love coconut scent. Works amazing!!!

  • I really enjoy all the scents of Native and love the ingredients! I noticed I was needing to apply deodorant much more often when I used it. I probably would not buy again.

    Feedback

    I think it needs formula needs improvement for longer lasting deodorant effects!

  • This a great product for my pre-teen daughter.

    Feedback

    Lower price

  • Love the ingredients Love the light fresh smell No wet spots If I sweat it doesn’t smell

    Feedback

    Happy so nothing

  • I love the scents and how accessible this product is, you can get this deodorant in almost any drugstore, target, etc. That being said, I did find the oil/wax in it stains certain fabric. Not sure how that can be avoided in a natural product.

  • Excellent for a natural deodorant. It is cheaper ($12-15) than most other comparable brands and does a great job masking odor. I find that other natural brands don't always do as good of a job. Can also buy in recyclable cardboard packaging. They offer variety of interesting and innovative scents.

    Feedback

    Occasionally odor control will wear off, though certainly not as quickly as I find with other natural brands. Also sometimes can leave white residue on clothing.

  • Packaging is cool and mission is great

    Feedback

    Product did not leave me feeling fresh. Smelled bad after just a few hours of use

  • I switched over to Native a few years ago. It took a couple weeks to adjust to, but I've never gone back. A few years later, it's the only brand I use. Great scents and very effective.

    Feedback

    Reusable packaging. Appreciate this is difficult to produce.

  • Very comfortable product to use. I really like that it is Al free and works very well!

  • Does not work. Irritates my skin and makes me smell more than before I put it on.

    Feedback

    Caused a major irritation and bad smell.

  • Native deodorant works well, smells nice, goes on smoothly. The carboard dispenser is compostable. The ingredients in the deodorant are plant based. It's a win-win.
