Reviews mention

  • Refined, memorable fragrances
  • Gentle, sensitive-skin formulas
  • Smooth, glide-on application
  • Accessible, diverse scent range
  • Inconsistent odor longevity
  • Occasional white residue transfer
  • Gritty, sticky deodorant texture
  • Noticeable shirt staining risk

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 love this deodorant, the coconut one is subtle but smells delicious. It worked really well at first but then i think my body got used to it.

    It would be nice if these products were baking soda free

  • I've tried many clean deodorant brands, and this is the only one that consistently works for me. The sensitive deodorant is a MUST for me - especially as someone with eczema and sensitive skin. I love their innovative and fun seasonal scents - they are nice but aren't overwhelming. Makes putting deodorant on every day fun.

    Not much! Love this brand.

  • As far as natural deodorants go, this is my favorite and I've tried MANY brands. It is smooth to apply, the texture is great, smells good, and lasts a really long time.

    Feedback

    It's not an antiperspirant, so don't expect not to sweat, you just won't smell bad when you do sweat!

  • A good deodorant > Nothing negative to say but I think it's overrated.

    Feedback

    Packaging could be cuter and I don't love any scent.

  • Okay so I hate the Native deodorant because it doesn't do anything for me. And I think they always have the strangest scent collabs (girl scout cookies?? dunkin donuts??) but there must be people out there who are into it. Their body washes are pretty decent but still not my go-to

  • I love the smell of this deodorant. It lasts a long time and doesn't make my skin itch or break out (other deodorants do.). This is an awesome brand. But I wish it wasn't so expensive. ($9 at Walmart!). The fragrances are unique and not overpowering.

  • Love this brand and its clean ingredients! Love their aluminum free deodorant and will be a long time customer for sure, I’d recommend to anyone!

  • Native's skincare products are a game-changer! Gentle, effective, and beautifully scented, they've transformed my routine. My skin feels healthier and more radiant. Highly recommend!

  • Native body care products are fantastic! The scents are fresh and natural, and their deodorant works great without any harsh ingredients. Plus, it feels good knowing they use clean, simple formulas that are gentle on skin.

  • Great staple deodorant. It works well and it lasts forever. I also like that they have a ton of different scents. Although the candy and cookie scents are nasty.

  • I have tried their coconut shampoo and conditioner. Both work super well. The scent is just okay but I'm curious to try their deodorants and other smells. I love that it feels clean and I feel good about using it. I hate putting chemicals into my environment. Overall, I wish the price was a little lower, but I think its worth it.

  • The products themselves smell great but it gave me a rash and definitely did not help that much with any normal odor throughout the day. I like their body washes, though!

  • Body wash is amazing smell and no dry skin afterwards. Loved it. Will be buying again.

  • I adore the portable sizes and the variety of alternatives available to suit your needs when traveling; it leaves skin feeling revitalized.

  • There’s a little shift if you’re coming from non-natural deodorants, but once the recalibration happens this stuff is great. It’s gotten quite pricey unfortunately, so it feels a little less worth the money now.

  • I liked the scent and mission but not as effective as traditional antiperspirant deodorant brands.

  • Wonderful high quality products. The deodorant is the only brand that works for me

  • Big fan of the scents and the all-natural push, but it does not offer the same comprehensive protection other deodorants do. Maybe one's skin just needs a little time getting used to the product, but if you've been using regular deodorant your whole life, you may want to try it for yourself and see how your body reacts.

  • I love the scents! They are the best. I am currently using the shampoo, conditioner and face soap. I will re-purchase the conditioner in all the new and exciting scents. The shampoo is not as good as my biolage, and the face soap isn't my favorite. I have used the deodorant in the past and it didn't work for me but I wish it did because the scents were amazing.

  • I tried Native's charcoal deodorant for almost a week, but I found it uncomfortable and ineffective. I did love that it's aluminum free and that it didn't irritate my skin, but I need something that lasts all day and that dries down instead of leaving a sticky residue.
