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.

  • 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.

  • Works okay. I’ve been experimenting with natural deodorant and this one is probably in my top 5 but I wouldn’t buy again. I didn’t love the smells and they didn’t work as well as other natural brands. Expensive as well

  • So native is amazing but i think my skin doesn’t like it. It made me break out in a rash. Maybe i need to try a different scent….?

  • Native products never disappoint especially the body wash. I love the natural ingredients and the fact that it has a great lather is just the cherry on top. Also customer service is top tier!

  • Always looking for clean products, and this one stands the test of time. We use the shampoo & conditioner. Great smells and over all great product. With all the toxic chemicals out there I look high and low for clean products to give my family. Thank you for making a great clean product that I can trust will wash away the days dirt and oil!

  • I still haven't landed on my favorite deo but this one is good. No complaints. The coconut and vanilla is my fave scent

  • Finally - a clean deodorant that actually works! I tried a few salt-based competitors but found that all of them were too weak and were not up to the active lifestyle I like to lead. Native holds up through the biking, hiking, and walks I like to take and keeps me smelling fresh.

  • Great deodorant. I like the clean ingredients that is used by Native.

  • It smells really good , and it literally lates for a long period of time.

  • The white tea and lavender deodorant smells unreal. I'm so glad I made the switch from aluminum anti-perspirant, I'll never go back.

  • I have tried the deodorant because I only like natural products but didn’t think it was anything special. I felt like I was using any other deodorizing product. Definitely not my fave but I wouldn’t say theres anything really wrong with it.

  • I've been looking for a more natural paraben and aluminum free deodorant for over year. The problem I've had in the past is that they either caked up or aren't smooth going on or don't offer the coverage that I want/need. To be honest I didn't have particularly high hopes for Native but it's just what I was looking for. I LOVE the blackberry and green tea scent, it's light, goes on easily and gives me all day protection which is exactly what I want from deodorant and it was harder to find than expected.

  • i like how it doesn't leave me more sweaty, and the unscented is not irritating to my armpits. also like that it's easily accessible in target. i continue to repurchase because i love it!

  • I love natural deodorant, this one just didn't do it for me (couldn't even stand up to a non-active day).

  • I bought this because I was looking for a healthy deodorant alternative. I was quite disappointed as it ended up not being great. The smell wore off quickly and wouldn't last up to 5 hours.
