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 really love this brand, I’ve personally used their deodorant and the scent lingers on the whole day! They have a variety of scents to choose from. In the summer this product comes in clutch.

  • It clumps for me but my skin is known to be challenging my mother swears by the stuff. I love the seasonal scents and the sustainable plastic-free packaging option. It's one of the few good vegan, sustainable, zero-waste deodorants out there and I recommend giving it a try because even if you're not a crazy eco-hippie, who doesn't want fun, nice-smelling and reliable deodorant that does the world a little good?

  • Smells good. I love the ingredient list — yay for plain English I like knowing what’s what. Packaging is sleek. Works as advertised.

  • I can only speak to the deodorant. I need my deodorants to work because of the amount of HIIT and hot yoga classes I take. Sad to say Native's just did not stand up to the test. Not only did it leave white marks on my clothes, it has a weird uneven consistency, and just didn't work!

  • I have multiple products from native and they all work and smell great. Affordable price and great brand mission.

  • I have only used their body washes and I like them. They're aesthetically pleasing in my shower and smell good - but sometimes I feel like they leave my skin a little dry.

  • I've tried the deodorant twice now, and neither time it has been great. The scented ones are really strong when you first put it one and then I smell later on in the day verse similiar brands.

  • Didn’t work well for me in terms of staying all day and keeping the stink away.

  • Native's Natural Deodorant is my go-to choice for staying fresh throughout the day. Their clean formula and a variety of great scent options make it a top pick for me. I appreciate that it's free from harsh ingredients and gentle on my skin. What's even better, their body wash complements it perfectly. It's just as clean, fragrant, and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. Together, they've become daily essentials, helping me stay confident and odor-free while enjoying a soothing shower experience.

  • Its a pretty basic deodorant. Not as high quality as it’s currently priced at.

  • Native products are a no for me. They have fun collabs and intriguing collaboration scents that make you want to buy… however the deodorants give me a horrible rash and the body wash is extremely drying. This brand is just not for me unfortunately

  • I have the spray deodorant. I wanted an alternative to using antiperspirants with chemicals all the time. The smell is great, light, and lasts a long time. I have purchased this multiple times already

  • I enjoy this product's sustainable packaging and range of scents. However, the ingredients could still be improved health-wise.

  • I used their deodorant and this product did nothing for me. I prefer Kosas Sport which has actives AHA/BHA to stop bacteria that causes smelly pits.

  • I've used Native's deodorant and their sunscreen, and I've loved both products. I admittedly am not a super sweaty person, and I don't have much BO, but I find the deodorant works really well for me. I LOVE the Blackberry & Green Tea scent. I wish every product came with that scent because I would buy them all. I use the unscented face sunscreen, and I've really liked it. I get a weird rash with a lot of other "natural" sunscreens (Bare Republic, Sun Bum) but I've never had a problem with Native! While I agree that I sometimes need to reapply deodorant halfway through the day, it's worth it to me because of the clean ingredients and the great smells!

  • I really love these skincare products because they work well and are made with simple and natural ingredients. I love the body wash and deodorant as they have great scents and really work. This is a great brand that makes clean products that are healthy for your skin and the planet.

  • I bought a $3 deodorant stick at Target because of all of the advertising that Native does. I wanted to know what the hype was about. I'm not "woke". I don't care about aluminum free deodorant. I want things that work. I don't check labels. I pick and choose my battles and deodorant isn't the hill I'm going to die on. I wouldn't know if a deodorant has aluminum or not unless they smash you in the face with it. What I love about native is that they come in cute tiny little packages that can be thrown into a purse or backpack and it takes up two inches. I'm all about that life. I got the coconut one. I don't smell coconuts but I don't smell myself either when I use it. If you're curious about Native, grab one of those little guys at Target. It's worth the $3. Then go from there. Be woke. Make better choices. Don't be like me.
