Native reviews and discussion

I've tried multiple Native Deodorant scents and "hit pan" (used them until I completely ran out) on each of them, so feel well-equipped to write a review. One of the standout features of Native Deodorant is undoubtedly its range of scents. The company offers a variety of appealing fragrances, and they did not disappoint in this regard. I've personally tried their lavender and rose, jasmine and cedar, and grapefruit and bergamot scents and liked each of them. The scent alone was enough for me to keep using the product to the end, which I rarely do. However, what ultimately led me to seek alternatives was that Native Deodorant definitely leaves much to be desired in the texture department. Upon application, the product felt somewhat gritty and grainy, which was not the most comfortable experience. While I appreciate the commitment to natural ingredients and I know sometimes this results in less than desired texture or scent, I still think the texture was a little too thick for my liking here, making it difficult to spread evenly. This resulted in a sticky residue that lingered on my skin for a while, which was not ideal. I would have preferred a smoother consistency that glides on effortlessly, providing a more pleasant application experience. This gritty texture was also visible on the skin, so that when I raised my arms, you could often see gritty white parts. In terms of packaging, Native Deodorant's design is simple — nothing groundbreaking but it holds up effectively without any issues throughout the lifecycle of the product. The twist-up mechanism worked well, allowing for easy dispensing of the product without any mess or waste. Overall, if you prioritize a wide range of appealing scents and eco-friendly ingredients, Native Deodorant is def worth the try. If you're a stickler for texture like me though, the hunt for a natural deodorant the glides on well and has a pleasant scent continues.

I like the concept but I don’t feel like it works well on sweat prevention or keeping odor away all day. Not the most reliable if you sweat a lot or plan to work out.

I really wanted to like this product but it left my skin irritated.

Tried the lilac & white tea scent. Smells great, not too overpowering or "fake". Noticed the smell lasted the whole day as well. Overall it's an deodorant that does it's job, but isn't amazing that I would rave about it all the time

I have used Native for a couple years now, and it has never let me down! For me, the scent will last into the next day. I love that they have seasonal scents to choose from, and that you can find body wash to match the deodorants they have. Also, the scents are very unique and do not have that "fragrance over BO" smell once you eventually do get a stench. I will say that the long lasting scent has not been the case for other people I've recommended it to, but for me it is perfect!

I found Native at my local drug store and hadn't seen it before - I was looking for a eucalyptus scented body wash at an affordable price, and spotted Native's contemporary packaging. It smelled great, was a big bottle, didn't have any gross ingredients, and was affordable. 10/10 loved this body wash!

The first Native product that I used was literally a travel-sized deodorant that I got at Target for ~$1.99 and wow I’m super impressed! It smells great and doesn’t fade away even on the most humid days.

I've purchased from Native MANY times. Love all their products, especially the natural deos.

This product is great, I love the texture (looks and feels like a traditional deodorant) I love that it’s not gritty like some natural brands and the eucalyptus & mint scent smells AMAZING!

I wish Native worked for me but unfortunately it gave me a rash, even when I used the sensitive skin version. That being said, the customer service was amazing and the scent was so good. I ended up giving it to a friend who loved it and used the whole thing!

Great smells, still sweat a lot

Native is the only natural deodorant that "worked" for me. But I don't think natural deodorant is for me.

I use the coconut & vanilla scent, which smells amazing. The plastic-free tube is a bit of a hassle when the deodorant stick starts getting short and falling in, but the shape of the cylinder is a lot easier to pack in toiletry bags. The plastic-free option is pricier, but I consider it worth it. The smell usually lasts the whole day, but I can't say the antiperspirant is as strong as regular deodorant. I've used Native for over a year now, so I don't think that it's because my body hasn't gotten used to it. HOWEVER, it doesn't leave that weird sticky residue you can't scrub off, so I don't plan on switching back ever.

top favorite of natural deodorants I've tried and smells amazing

The best of all-natural deodorants, but I still prefer traditional antiperspirants.

I've only tried their toothpaste. I found it to be kind of loose and runny in texture, which made it more difficult to use. I didn't feel like it did a great job at pasting my teeth, as it were. I did like the flavor though!

Natural deodorant that works, smells good, doesn't run, and doesn't irritate my skin!

This is the only natural deodorant that worked for me, and I love the scents and the more recent eco-friendly packaging. I love their Jasmine and Charcoal smells. It sometimes leaves a little residue behind but overall does a great job! Has not stained my clothes (yet).

I first noticed Native deodorants at a store sale in Target. The deodorants are high quality in ingredients and easy to apply onto skin. Just a small dab can last a while, and there is no annoying residue that gets onto clothes. It is priced at a premium compared to other deodorants, so I tend to buy less regularly.

This stuff smells so great and the packaging is so adorable, but unfortunately, the product did not work for me. As someone who lives in Florida, things can get quite hot. Wanted to love this but unfortunately couldn't!
