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.

  • have tried a few times and the scents are nice, but don't feel they are long lasting

  • Native body wash is a refreshing and natural choice. The subtle scents are pleasant without being overpowering, and it lathers well, leaving your skin feeling clean and moisturized. Knowing that it's free from harmful chemicals makes it a go-to for those seeking a more eco-friendly and skin-friendly shower experience. Native body wash offers quality and peace of mind in one bottle.

  • This is my favorite brand of deodorant. It is on the pricey side but so worth it. The ingredients are so pure, there is no harmful aluminum, it lasts long, and the scents are amazing.

  • This is the only deodorant I use now. My husband stole mine, so it's the only deodorant he uses too. Clean, aluminum-free ingredients matter a lot to me and the scents are subtle and lovely. I have chemical sensitivities and normally can't handle anything with fragrance, but I can do Native. Extra props for the musky, masculine scents that make me feel like I'm wrapped up in nature!

  • I love the idea of this deodorant, but it just sometimes didn’t hold up to hot summers or super active workouts. I like the scent options, but found myself reapplying throughout the day.

  • I love Native. I use their shampoo and conditioner, and there’s not a scent I’ve tried yet that isn’t amazing. It makes my hair incredibly soft with little ingredients.

  • I gave Native skin care products a shot, and here's my take: Their aluminum-free deodorant sounded promising, but in practice, it fell a bit short. There was a slight odor issue when it mixed with sweat, and it's worth noting it doesn't stop you from sweating since it's not an anti-perspirant. On the bright side, their body wash is a winner! It has a light texture and a subtle aroma, not overwhelming at all. So, mixed results, but the body wash is a keeper.

  • Beyond the fact the brand doesn’t work anymore, complete and total shill sell out of a company, and highly over priced compared to other natural options.. their woke agenda completely lost me as a customer.

  • Switched the natural deodorant in 2018, tried many brands. Native was one that I was hoping would be a winner, but like most irritated my armpits with a hive-like raised painful area of tissue where Native was applied. I no longer use this product.

  • I've tried a bunch of allegedly clean deodorants, and Native is definitely the best! It's effective and doesn't get white marks on clothing.

  • Great scents, and so happy they have a plastic free deodorant option.

  • My only issue with Native is the cost! Otherwise I love their products.

  • Nice clean brand. Not a fan of the deodorant though. I do like the body and hair products though and I want to try the skincare.

  • It is very hard for me to find deodorants that don't make me break out into a rash. The Native deodorant that I see at my local stores including Publix, Target, and Walmart does not carry any kind of sensitive deodorant for Native. I have looked on their website and they do have sensitive deodorant but it is not at all accessible to find in your local grocery store and it is not included in their mini sizes as well. I gave one of the normal ones I had bought that made me break out to my sister and it didn't make her break out but it did clump up under her armpits rather than lather smoothly. Overall pretty disappointed with the product.

  • Love the brand and their mission. I'm so particular about my deodorant and love the scents. Also love the toothpaste! So many cleaner toothpastes don't work well and this is the real deal!

  • native has always been a go to & will continue to be a go to in my household :)

  • I really enjoyed native deodorant, however on a extremely hot day it doesn’t have enough power to control BO for me, but on a normal day it’s great!

  • I didn’t love this product. I like the smells they offer and that it’s all natural, but I didn’t find that it worked on me
