Native earns praise for clean ingredients, standout scents (Coconut & Vanilla, Cucumber & Mint, Lilac & White Tea, Citrus & Herbal Musk) and comfortable, non-irritating wear for many, but reviews say performance is inconsistent: the deodorant often fades by midday, struggles in heat/workouts, can leave white residue or shirt stains, and some experience rashes or gritty texture. Reviews of body wash and hair care skew positive for gentle lather and pleasant aromas, though a few find body wash drying and shampoos underwhelming. Overall, Native is a good natural option if you don’t sweat heavily and will reapply; heavy sweaters may need stronger protection.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
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
I have tried a number of different Native deodorants over the years. They all smell fantastic but don’t hold up great during my sweaty workouts. For every day they are good.
I really like their mission and the range of scents they have! I don’t think the deodorant works well enough and it’s chalky/leaves deodorant stains. My boyfriend uses the shampoo and conditioner and it always makes hims smell SO GOOD. I don’t think Native is for everybody, I understand their mission but the products just aren’t string enough for some.

I have there, body wash and deodorant, and I swear to god it is the best smelling thing I have ever tried in my life the deodorant helps contain odor so well, especially because I get very sweaty and most deodorants. Don’t help me with the odor at all. Their body wash smells amazing and I can smell it on me even after my shower, which I usually can’t with others.
I like their mission a lot, but unfortunately not a big fan of the product. It smells good when you first put it on, but for me personally it doesn’t last long.
Feedback
I honestly feel like I sweat more wearing this than with no deodorant. Love what they’re doing, but should adapt product to fit the needs of consumers.
Works alright, has some great scents, but over time it does leave an oil residue on clothes.
This deodorant is the ONLY natural deodorant I’ve tried that actually works and stays on throughout the day. The scent is amazing and I really like the texture on my skin.
Feedback
It does sometimes leave a white residue but I will take that any day over cancer causing dove so thank you!
I love the package, the scent, and name of this product line. Super smart white package makes me think of an apple product. I use their deodorant and bath soap. The deodorant works for about 8 hours for me and I’m an active person. I work out and I’m a nurse doing 12/hour shifts
Feedback
Longer lasting would be nice but overall I’ve purchased twice. Great product and would recommend to a friend

Tried the deodorant and while I have no specific complaints, I didn't find that it worked better than other products on the market.
Feedback
Seems expensive for what it is.
Unfortunately, Native deodorants did not work for me. The scents are great and I really like that they are aluminum free. However, I have sensitive skin and I broke out in a rash from the baking soda. This product is great if you don't have sensitive skin.

Find alternatives to baking soda for your deodorants.
I didn’t like the deodorant at all but the body wash was not so bad. After I purchased this after the first time I didn’t buy it again. Yeah it’s natural but they deodorant was not it for me.
I’ve tried a few these products they are very light and gentle on your skin.
My fav natural deodorant! The smells are fantastic, it doesn’t break me out like some do, and I don’t smell. I sweat a lot, so I’m not sure how it would work for the average person, but i experience minimal sweat stains with this brand (which is saying something for a natural deodorant!)
Feedback
It is a transition to switch to natural deodorant, so expect some detox and don’t give up too soon
Their products are definitely cleaner than most on the shelf & effective. They smell nice and do what they’re meant to.
Feedback
Not all of their products are free of toxins/fragrance (for example the deodorant is very different from the standard to the sensitive).
this used to be a five star product to me but since P&G bought it, you see all the trade-offs in the quality of the product. They replaced beeswax with ozokerite, (which is heavily refined and therefore not environmentally friendly) and added magnesium hydroxide, cyclodextrin and dextrose, and got rid of vitamin E, jojoba, hydro castor oil. super bummer but it’s what you expect when a major brand buys a smaller one.
Feedback
if you’re going to change the formula to save money, lower the price of the product. it’s clear what you’re selling isn’t the same quality as what we had before.
Love the coconut + vanilla scent, smells like Hawaii and actually works.
Feedback
Affordable, healthy.
so i don’t love native and i’ll tell you why. while the scents and ingredients are so amazing… they do not cover up b.o at all. i can only use this deodorant if i’m literally not moving all day. and even then, i still smell.
I am super happy with the fragrances option for deodorant and being a clean product as well. Works well.
Feedback
Baking soda-free option would be great if made available. All good otherwise. Love this brand for deodorant.
