Reviews mention

  • Refined, natural-leaning fragrances
  • Gentle, sensitive-skin formulas
  • Smooth, comfortable application
  • Attractive, sustainable packaging
  • Inconsistent odor protection longevity
  • White residue and shirt staining
  • Occasional gritty, sticky texture
  • Body wash sometimes feels drying

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.

  • I have only used the deodorant and it did not work as well as other natural deodorants for me.

  • I have only used the deodorant and shampoo from this brand, but I love both. The deodorant is natural, and has fun, not overpowering scents. Effective products with sustainable packaging.

  • I have used Native's deodorant for many years and have never had anyone complain about my smell.

  • I love the smells of these products and have used the deodorant a few times. The main problem is the cost is pretty high for deodorant but that's too be expected for a new ish brand. I think it's worth it if you like the unique smells they offer though

  • Love love love! The scents are amazing and it really works while remaining natural. Obsessed.

  • I literally am obsessed with everything Native. Their deodorant, body wash and sunscreen have become staple in my everyday routine for months. They offer clean products with only the necessary ingredients and always tell you what each ingredient does for the product.

  • After trying many natural deoderants on the market without success, I finally decided to try Native. First, all of their scents are amazing! I love that most of them are unique and not a typical deoderant scent. Second, it's the only natural deoderant that has worked for me! This doesn't leave me feeling sweaty or smelly mid day like the others. I just wish they weren't as expensive!

  • Love the scents, but they definitely don't cover any body odors.. maybe even made them worse? Also leaves behind a very white chalky residue, and left marks behind on my clothes.

  • One f the few "natural deodorants" that actually work. The scents are not overwhelming ( I love cucumber and mint) and I absolutely LOVE that they have plastic-free packaging. The sticks last a very long time as well. One stick usually lasts me 4-5 months.

  • This is a good natural deodorant and I guess since they were one of the first big brands they keep their price up, but I've found that others are more affordable. Also could just be me but these gave me hyperpigmentation under my armpits so I will pass.

  • I've been using Native products for about four years now and I really love them. My favorite and most consistently used product is their deodorant, it works so well and the scents are so unique and fun. Before finding Native, every deodorant I tried gave me a painful rash, and even the regular Native scents are perfect for my sensitive skin. The only downside is that the deodorant definitely gets on your clothes, and can be difficult to get out of certain colors.

  • This is the best natural deodorant brand I’ve tried, and I’ve been aluminum-free for over 10 years now. However, there are two major drawbacks to this brand: first, they are owned by a big conglomerate now, and second, they still have plastic packaging. There are other names in the game I’d rather give my money for these reasons.

  • Their shampoo and conditioner is fantastic. Smells great, makes hair feel great and clean ingredients. Their deodorant needs work. Stops working halfway through the day..

  • Deodorants with aluminum make me itch and/ or burn. This didn’t do that, but it just didn’t get rid of the odor. Within three hours of showering, I was ripe.

  • I enjoyed the deo (got the sensitive skin version). I ultimately had to give it up because it kept leaving oil stains on my clothes.

  • I love the sea salt and cedar body wash! It’s a great scent without being overpowering. I’m excited to check out some of Native’s other products!

  • I have used the deodorant and just bought travel size body wash for vacation. It smells so pretty and I love it!

  • Works really well and I love the coconut scent. I’m really picky on my deo and I have no complaints about this one.
