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 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.

  • I have truly never been smelly while using Native. I wish it went on a little smoother but that's such a tiny complaint. So happy you can find them in stores now, that's what pushed me to try it.

  • I love the ethos of Native, however, their deodorant isn't very effective. The branding is great, the packaging is great, the product is made well and smells good, but (like all natural deodorant) I am still smelly!

  • overly expensive when you can get other more sustainable things but the scents are amazing and the shampoo works somewhat well

  • I love what this brand is about, I just wish I liked their products more. I'm not a particularly smelly person, which really highlights how useless this deodorant is. It wears off quickly and effortlessly. Definitely not worth the price. Their body wash is okay, although I didn't find the scents particularly lasting.

  • Not my favorite natural deodorant. Tons of scents, but I find that it's not super long lasting scent wise, especially on warmer days.

  • Love this brand and the products! All natural and eco conscious which we love :) the deodorant works well, the only downside was that in summer it seemed to melt right off with sweat and needed to keep reapplying. Otherwise love it!!

  • The body wash made me really itchy, so I had to stop using it. But it smelled really good! Also cute packaging.

  • I've tried several Native body washes, and both my partner and I love them! They feel clean, they smell great, and the branding/packaging is modern and attractive. I love the unisex branding and smells, we can keep one bottle in the wash and feel like it's both of ours.

  • Native's fragrances are the absolute best around, I was really excited to find a natural deodorant that smelt good and worked. The first month I used it, it was great, but unfortunately I began to sweat through about a month into using it and found it no longer worked for me. If you're not a heavy sweater this will be great for you, unfortunately I lead a very active life and as a result sweat a lot, so I ultimately didn't stick with native, but I really love the range of fragrances.
