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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I wanted to love this brand as I have been wanting to switch to a natural deodorant but it stains all of my shirts and the protection doesn't last. I need something much stronger for summer months.
Feedback
Make a stronger version that doesnt stain and doesnt cause rashes
Only worked for a couple weeks or so before no longer effective, at least with my body chemistry. :(

More coverage
I love what they’re going for but personally i’m not someone who smells bad but I like to wear natural deodorant just in case I have a long day out in NYC summers and let me tell you…..this made my pits not smell good!!!!! I’m not sure why because the actual scent of the deodorant was good but I think mixed with my natural body scent it wasn’t great. Not to mention they’re pretty expensive though they are natural and last you a while.
Feedback
Price & formula definitely need improvement.
Native is a little on the pricier side compared to other organic deodorants that work just as well. It smells nice and comes in a travel size, too.

It took me time to adapt to this being effective — The scents are great but have needed multiple applications. My family members are huge fans of native so collectively we find benefits of what native offers. I used to use Tom’s and Schmidt’s.

This is a review for their deodorants and body washes. I was on a health kick and decided that I wanted to try a “healthier” “cleaner” version of deodorant and body washed and I was very pleased with the items I received. Specifically, I used the eucalyptus & mint body wash and the accompanying deodorant. I love the body wash. I like that it doesn’t have any sulfates but is still able to create a rich later, and smells incredible! The deodorant also smells great and I was able to get through an entire workout and not smell anywhere near as bad as I thought I would. The big negative, which is more of a me than them thing is that it seems I’m allergic to the baking soda which is giving me a bit of a rash on my armpit.
Feedback
(Minus one star for no baking soda less alternative, as it is a known allergic reaction.) I will also note that while the deodorant did a great job during my workout you will still be able to smell more of a BO odor than you would with regular deodorant as the aluminum prevents you from sweating, and with sweat comes BO.
I love this deodorant. They always come out with new, unique scents that I enjoy. I’ve been using Native for probably about 2 years now. As someone whose armpits sweat like crazy, I still smell great!
Feedback
I wish there was more of an antiperspirant effect, however, there really isn’t an OTC antiperspirant on the market that does a significantly better job than Native.

Personally, I don't think that it works well. I sweat a lot and found that Native didn't do anything different for me compared to other natural deodorants. I like their compostable packing options though, just not the product inside.
I liked this deodorant at first. They have fun scents (although the price is a little steep). This is definitely just a deodorant and not an antiperspirant. After using it for a year or so I suddenly developed a rash to it which was unfortunate but it went away as soon as I stopped using it.
I enjoy the scents they carry, but perhaps I’m just too sweaty of a person for these. I don’t think they are the best at prevent swear, but then again they are not an antiperspirant. This is just a deodorant that you wear around the home, or for general chilling. For the gym, you may want to opt for something stronger.
The smell is great, but the the product was ineffective for me and felt too greasy.
Feedback
It just doesn't work. I am not a particularly heavy sweater, but I could smell my armpits within hours.

I love the fragrance range and how they have cardboard options now to reduce waste. These obviously don't work as well as the hard-core Secret and Old Spice deodorants, but I've been pleasantly surprised by these and have stuck with Native for over a year.
As a certified Very Stinky Person, I don’t get the Native hype. The fragrance options are great, but they don’t do a whole lot odor-wise. Their availability in Target is nice for those who seek aluminum-free alternatives, but I’ve yet to see a groundbreaking formula from them.
Feedback
Invest in some functional ingredients. Charcoal simply isn’t cutting it and neither is baking soda.
These deodorants are pretty good! They smell really nice and last for hours. In hot weather, I would usually have to reapply at least once throughout the day, but I feel like that's pretty standard with deodorants that aren't antiperspirants.

None of these deodorants have worked for me. I have superrr sensitive skin so I can’t use dove or secret, thought this would be it but this stuff does not hold up. I end up re-applying constantly, honestly just doesn’t work. Use Megababe instead!!
Feedback
Terrible quality.
It’s good for what it is: affordable, available and smells good. But it is not for any day with activities more strenuous than walking through Target.
I picked up the Coconut body wash because of the minimalist aesthetic of the packaging…and that’s about all I like about it. I will say that my extremely sensitive skin hasn’t reacted to this formula, but it also strips my skin badly. I like coconut scents but this smells like coconut candle wax in a bleh way.
Feedback
More hydrating formula and nicer Coconut scent
These are okay! Some of the scents don't mix well with natural body odor/sweat but there are some that are tolerable! I mainly choose these because I am allergic to aluminium.
Sadly... this is one of those natural deodorants that left my underarms with a crazy painful rash that turned into a crazy painful scab after about 2 uses. They smell really nice so I wish it worked out for me, but if you are someone who tends to have that reaction to natural deodorants, I'd say try a different one! Packaging is cute and scents are good, but oof that rash.
This product did not work for me at all. I loved the idea but it didn't perform.
Feedback
It didn't last a full day. I felt unprotected.
