Reviews mention

  • Refined, memorable fragrances

  • 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'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

  • I believe their tag line is “smell like Jesus” and you can only imagine what he smelled like. Sad their deodorant didn’t work for me and their body soap is just okay, not worth the money

  • The first time I bought this my hubby was skeptical, but he is a lifer now! We love the coconut smell and have it in everything!

  • This was the second or third aluminum free deodorant I tried. I love how the variety of scents and packaging. The efficacy is off though… by the end of the day I was smelling me instead of the deodorant scent. I’ve tried several aluminum free since and have had better luck but still not the perfect fit for my busy, active lifestyle!

  • Absolutely every single time I try this deodorant I end up with a horrible horrible rash. They also do not smell very good.

  • My family has a sensitivity to aluminum. It worked well for one but didn’t for another.

  • I tried so hard to love this, but I am a bigger gal who sweats a lot and this really did no help for my sweating, smell and even made me start breaking out.

  • I absolutely love this product. Previously I had bad rashes from regular deodorant, but tjis was life changer.

  • Bought it because of its appealing packaging. Smells great. But unfortunately it didnt work for me as a deodorant or anti-perspiration.

  • I like the clean part of the product but it does not solve my need for zero waste products.
