Native earns mixed-to-positive reviews: its deodorants and body washes smell exceptional and many users say they work for everyday wear, while others report short wear time, residue, and staining. Reviews praise clean-feeling formulas, sensitive-skin options, and standout scents like Coconut & Vanilla, Eucalyptus & Mint, and Citrus & Herbal Musk, but note inconsistent odor control in heat/workouts, occasional rashes or grit, and cardboard-packaging ergonomics.

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.
Love shampoo and conditioner

The best natural deodorant brand for me so far. It's not perfect, but it works well enough that I keep buying it. I wish the minis came in more scents, though. I don't think the scents need to be gendered -- my favorite is the men's juniper and ginseng. I've also tried their body wash and enjoyed it.

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.

Native has a great mission and great scented products but the texture of the deodorant is not for me.
I use the Native Body Wash and I won't be switching any time soon. My skin tends to get dry and itchy from soaps, but has yet to do that with Native. The fragrance is not overbearing either which is nice. It lathers good, and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft!
I tried over 15 different natural deodorants and had issue after issue. I got rashes for the first time, my pits smelled, my pits were itchy, nothing was working right for my body. Then I tried Native and I have never gone back. I have been using Native deodorant for over a year and now my fiance has finally transitioned over and loves it too. He was using mine (bc i get a more neutral scent) and I saw him sneaking mine and so I got him his own and now he only uses Native too. They have awesome scents, my pits don't smell for several hours and very minimal white deodorant stains get on my clothes (which is more of a user error than) Ocean scent, Sea Salt and cedar, Jasmine.. are some of the best scents.
To be honest, this is far from my favorite “clean” deodorant brand. I only would use the unscented. That said, it works really well for me, so I’ll give it 4 stars.
I am not 100% on the deodorant yet - some scents work for me and others don’t. But I love the scents you can find, especially at Target! Worth a try if you are looking for natural deodorant. Their body washes smell so good too!
