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 tried one body wash from native. My only issue with this brand is it is a bit pricey. But otherwise I would be interested in trying more products.

  • I love the scents, and they're great for everyday. I do find that when I wear them in more intense settings (I work leading hikes) they don't stand up as well as some bigger name deodorants, and they occasionally feel a little chalky going on, but honestly I still find them worth it

  • Favorite natural deodorant! I like how the scents are subtle/ not overpowering and the product itself isn’t sticky. Kind to sensitive skin. The shampoo and conditioner are a bit drying however.

  • Solid product, I especially love their travel sized deodorant. I go to a lot of events: theme parks, cosplay conventions, renaissance faires. These are small and compact, but work quickly. Especially when you need a touch up.

  • Body wash is amazing smell and no dry skin afterwards. Loved it. Will be buying again.

  • Love the scents! I for that deodorant holds me pretty good. I absolutely LOVE native’s vanilla coconut body wash and deodorant!

  • Excellent tasting product and worth buying again. I was satisfied with the quality, may even be better than what I normally purchase. I would definitely buy this again and will be trying the varieties offered.

  • Really wanted to love Native, but it didn’t provide enough coverage for me. It’s great in theory, but living in Texas I need something a bit stronger.

  • It’s hard for me to decide whether to get four or five stars. I really do like this, the consistency is nice. Sometimes I do find that it’s a little bit thick or grainy. I like the sense a lot. They do work for sometime, but for me personally, and it might just be my body, after a few hours this scent starts to change and I smell weird. I am still a customer! And I do still purchase! Overall, four.

  • Absolutely LOVE any product Native sells, I started using their Shampoo and Conditioner and my hair is the best it’s ever been, their deodorant works wonders for me and their body wash is so good and leaves me smelling great for days!

  • Cucumber and mint deodorant made it so that I didn’t noticeably sweat or smell too much during exercise. I smelled fresh and the aluminum free formula is what I love. Great product.

  • Great brand! I especially love the seasonal scents. The peppermint is amazing!

  • I tried the Native deodorant stick (Candy Shop) the scent was amazing, I only wished it was an antiperspirant as well.

  • The deodorant worked great for me. It wasn't sticky and it lasted most of the day. I disliked that I had to apply so much and I went through it really fast. The scent is great but the cost is a little high for how quickly I went through it.

  • Unfortunately did not love. Found this product made me produce more sweat.

    Purchased myself
  • My current brand. I have multiple scents that I rotate through on the regular. The rose is my personal favorite. Smells good, and the smell seems to linger for most of the day.

  • I do love this natural deo. It is aluminum free and they offer many fun scents.
