Native reviews and discussion

Um…I bought this thinking it would work as a deodorant. It does not. I’m not sure how this passed any tests before finalizing the product.

I'm all on board for the natural skincare movement, but when it comes to deodorant, I really struggled. I can confidently say that Native is the only brand that worked for both me AND my husband. We love the scents and we love efficacy. I also love that it's widely available in drug stores.

First off, this deodorant smells amazing - all the flavors are great! But once mixed with the stinky sweat it’s supposed to stop, the smell is… less than ideal. This is effective if I’m sitting around the house all day, but I live in Florida and natural deodorant does not do well in this heat. Walking from my car to my garage is an opportunity to sweat, and this deodorant does not keep up. So: light activity like chilling in the AC is okay. But: anything more is not.

Smells nice, but never worked well for me. Left residue and didn't feel like it kept me smelling nice all day.

Love the scents, probably the best natural deodorant brand I have tried. Doesn't last very long in hot summer months

the products are mostly okay, not great, not bad. good ingredient lists for the most part, as promised.

I really like the idea of this company, but the execution can be kinda hit or miss. I love the scents of the body washes, but they aren't perfect, and neither is the deodorant.

I bought into the minimal packaging and natural promises. Ultimately this isn’t a super effective product. It goes on a bit uncomfortably and while their scents are great it doesn’t deliver the freshness you expect from antiperspirants.

Tried the deodorant. I’ve used natural deodorant for 10+ years and this wasn’t anything special.

Natural deodorant is tricky. It will never be the sort of thing where you’re like “wow, I can’t believe how well this worked and I’ll never sweat or smell sweaty again!” And that’s cool. We’re aiming for something a little different here. The problem with native deodorant is how chalky it feels. I want to feel fresh. For that deodorant to feel clean and maybe citrus-y. But ultimately just to feel like it’s getting the job done. And this one just feels like a dry paste that feels neither clean or unclean, but rather just there.

I used the mini travel size charcoal and my armpits still had odor

Love this brand! I've gone through so many of their deodorant and all the fun scents. Their products are clean.

I used the body wash, and I have really enjoyed it.

These deodorants are not your usual hippy dippy deodorants. These actually work! I'm obsessed. I can feel safe and not smell like a gym.

It does feel good for my skin but I have to reapply a lot so wouldn't say the deodorizing is very strong. Scents are nice, and I do have sensitive skin + noticed a difference from using it from an irritation front.

I really like the scent options and I thought the product was okay but it just did not work well enough for me to want to repurchase.

I’ve purchased several of these deodorants and really like the lavender scent best. My daughter uses them as well and loves them.

I appreciate that Native deodorant is much more natural and I like the scent, but overall I dont love how it is applied to skin and the consistency

love the scent options and purpose of the brand. in terms of the clean deodorant, i feel it is not long-lasting and a little too pricey. but, i do enjoy the body wash. i am not sure if i will be repurchasing from Native, as the price tag does not feel worth the quality to me.

If you have sensitive skin at all, do NOT get this. I tried several of their deodorants and each one gave me the worst rashes ever.
