  • Refined, memorable fragrances

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 originally tried Native after getting it from a store. I loved it so much, the Vanilla scent, I waited for a nice sale on the website to order almost a dozen more. I love it and several of the great scents.

  • I've been a BIG fan of Native for a long time! From their body soap and bar soap, to my new favorite, the deodorant, I can't say enough good things about it. Disclaimer - I am not an overly sweaty person so this might not be the best if you sweat a lot. I love the scents because they're light and fresh and the formulation is super smooth.

  • I’ve been using this brand deodorant for awhile now and I love it so much

  • Native is an impressive natural deodorant brand that has exceeded my expectations. The variety of scents they offer is outstanding, and each one smells fantastic without being overpowering. The formula itself is effective in keeping me feeling fresh throughout the day, although I occasionally need to reapply during particularly active days. I appreciate that Native's deodorants are aluminum-free and made with natural ingredients, which is a major plus for my sensitive skin. While I'm not giving it a full five stars due to the need for occasional reapplication, I still highly recommend Native for anyone seeking a reliable and pleasantly scented natural deodorant option.

  • Really love the smell of these and it does a good job at keeping odor away. One issue though, if I use this long enough I start to get irritation around my armpits.

  • I have super mixed feelings on this brand. I have been using the shampoo and conditioner an really enjoy it, but I could not stick with using the deodorant. I will say it was one of the better natural deodorants I have tried but all-in-all did not work well enough for me to keep using.

  • Love native - usually just a few ingredients, and I feel good about what I’m putting on my skin!

  • My favorite natural deodorant. Slides better than others and smells great

  • Native’s deodorants smell nice and luxurious, they just don’t work better than the “bad for you” alternatives unfortunately

  • I am a daily user of their deodorant. Love the smell and consistency! Also, I never smell bad with this product even after a full day of running around.

  • Tried their deodorant and it gave me a rash in my armpits. Not great for sensitive skin. Switched out to primally pure and love it

  • Great natural deodorant. My go-to is the powder + cotton scent, it really lasts throughout the day and doesn’t turn into a bad smell like some other natural deodorant alternatives. That being said, I do find that it stains my clothes over time if I don’t wash it off right away.

  • There is not much more to say than that Native's deodorant works! It glides on fairly easily, keeps odor away, and doesn't stain my shirts.

  • I love the ingredients in the product. I also like the variety of scents. The deodorant doesn’t last very long when I wear it. I will start to notice that my natural odor will overpower the the deodorant after 2-3 hours of my normal activity.

  • The scents are lovely, the deodorants I tried had no aluminum! Love it. The seasonal ones are super fun and smell exactly like what they’re named after.

  • I've tried more natural deodorants than I can count and really want to love Native but it doesn't hold up for me. I tried the sea salt & cedar deodorant and body spray recently and I'll keep it around as a back up but it doesn't hold up the way I need it to. I don't sweat a lot and I've found some other natural deos I really like that can generally go the distance, but by 2-3pm I'm ready to reapply Native spray. I'd be down to try a solid stick version and compare, unfortunately the product I tried was disappointing.

  • I tried this since I was looking for a natural deodorant option. It worked great as a deodorant, but left oily residue on my clothes that would not wash out.

  • I like the mission, scents & packaging of Native. But the actual deodorant hasn't' been as effective as I wish. I don't feel that it lasts all day. I often would have pit stains and odor after just a few hours. I really wanted to love it!

  • I love Native and what the brand stands for. Their deodorants and other products also smell sooooo gooooood and make you smell good too! However, after using several sticks of deodorant from here, I started having a reaction and got a rash so I’m so sad I can’t use it anymore:( I guess one of the ingredients doesn’t agree with my skin anymore but if it works for you go for it!

  • Got this as a gift because other deodorants had harmful chemicals. This one is suppose to be all natural
