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 like the scent but it wasn’t working as well for odor control as I would like

  • I really enjoyed the scent of the deodorant my one and only complaint is all my shirts started to have stain from the coconut oil in this so I have chose other deodorant

  • Nice scents and works fairly well. Good price point! Would recommend.

  • I like the variety of scents. However, I feel like it has a lot of whitecast/potential for staining. I also feel like it’s not as strong. There are better natural deodorants out there

  • I want to like Native natural deoderant but unfortunately when I used it I found that I had some BO that I of course did not want and also that any white tops had yellow pit stains. I like the mission but wish it worked better for me.

  • Made the switch to native and have been enjoying it so far. I had to switch scents because the lavender one I felt made my BO worse. I use another deodorant when I’m working out but otherwise will use Native everyday. Wish it was cheaper

  • I love this deodorant! I found that it is the best smelling and long lasting of the clean beauty products.

  • Deodorant: Smalls great, and I love that it comes in variety of scents and sizes! It's so hard finding travel size deodorant and I so appreciate that it's easy to find this brand! The only con is the price point. Would also love to see more clarity on what "fragrance" is used - is it natural or chemical fragrance.

  • This deodorant really works without the aluminum and toxic chemicals in most other brands. They come in all different smells which I love!

  • I got the deodorant and love the scents they offer! Didn't feel like it lasted as long as some other's I've tried though, and often had to reapply again during the day.

  • I love how good their deodorants smell! Don't last all day and I have to reapply but it has clean ingredients which I will go back for.

  • Deodorant works great, body wash isn’t bad, just way too much plastic. Some of the scents are pretty off the mark but most smell really good.

  • I love the scents but find myself reapplying throughout the day because it doesn’t last. If I’m wearing a sleeveless top I won’t you it because it gets white and clumpy.

  • I have purchased native deodorant several times as well as their body washes. To me the quality is not worth the outrageous price for a deodorant stick. The lasting effect is very minimal as well.

  • This is a decent natural deodorant. I like that it's in stick form but I wish that the scent was a little bit stronger - I've tried other brands that I prefer for a natural alternative.

  • Love love love. Can’t say enough good things about this company. This was the first non local company I found whose natural deodorant not only didn’t give me a reaction but worked so well and is so clean. Plus it lasts for a very long time. I highly recommend the sensitive skin deodorant

  • I have been using Native's Grapefruit & Bergamot deodorant for the last few months now. I love the way it smells and it applies nicely. It's great to finally see an all natural, paraben and aluminum free deodorant on the shelves. It works ok for my every day wear as I don't sweat too much, however, it definitely needs reapplication for warmer summer days.
