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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I tried to adjust to the fact it was not an antiperspirant but it just didn't take. The smell of the product was nice but felt a bit too powdery (I would have preferred a clear formula) and my body didn't adjust to the fact that it was a natural deodorant.
I love their body wash - they have wonderful scents!

Unfortunately after using Native Deodorant for a few months I developed a painful underarm rash. I wouldn't use the deo again.

I think they have nice scents but they are not the best for someone who has a lot of odor when they sweat. If you sweat only a little or don’t have a lot of odor then you will like this.
I wanted to love this deodorant but I just didnt, it didnt work well at all unfortunately & i even developed a rash :(
A nice brand idea. Unfortunately I didn't get the sweat support I need. Not a huge fan of dry deodorant.

Lovely deodorant with clean ingredients. They smell really nice too and they’re effective.
Feedback
The white stains it leaves are very off putting. A clear version would be great. It would also be great if they could find a way to use up more of the deodorant that’s left in the cardboard.
I used one of their seasonal scent deodorants. I found it comparable to other natural deodorants I have tried. I appreciate that they started the cardboard option so there is a plastic free option.

I like native products, I feel like they work well but I have had some irritation with a couple of their scents.

I love the smell of the deodorants and body washes. However, the deodorant does not last too long.
Feedback
Maybe a longer lasting odor control would be beneficial.
I'm always looking for small changes I can make in my life to use more sustainable products, but I was very disappointed in the Native deodorant. I work in food service so I do a moderate amount of activity in my day-to-day life, nothing too crazy, but I found that after just a few hours after application, this deodorant went kind of "sour." I felt like I smelled worse wearing it than I would if I went au natural, I also found that it left a reside in the armpits of my shirts that remained even after a normal wash cycle (not a problem I had with my previous deodorant). It really pains me to throw away brand new things but I just couldn't keep using this product.
I have tried several Native deodorants at this point. They smell great, but do not really work.
Feedback
Improve formula, more sustainable packaging.
Tried the deodorant because I kept getting chemical burns with other brands really liked it
Feedback
Like that it’s natural and it works good
This is the only brand of natural deodorant that works for me. I love the range of scents (not too unnatural, not too crunchy-granola--no patchouli in sight), the easy push-up dispenser, the fact that the deodorant goes on with no mess (unlike most natural deodorants, which are goopy and sticky). I made the switch several months ago and have been using Native exclusively. My armpits are definitely happier since--no more itching, no more rashes, no more aluminum!
Feedback
Just be aware that this is not an antiperspirant, so--surprise, surprise--you will perspire. But your armpits won't smell, which is the whole point. You definitely want to apply this daily after a shower for best results. Also, the cucumber mint scent is perfection: barely there, just slightly sweet, and mildly vegetal.
Great for everyday wear, but definitely loses efficacy after a hard workout. This works better as a mild deodorant than a full blown anti-perspirant. I love the clean ingredients though!
Love their deodorant! Great scents, and I love that they have plastic free options. It works well enough for me, but I also do not sweat a lot and don't have strong BO so I can't attest for how well it would mask a strong odor. Also, the very small minis are nice to keep in bags.

Not my favorite natural deodorant on the market. It often felt moist and sticky after application.
The thing that I love about this brand is that they have very fun scents that smell AMAZING. The thing that made me stop using them is that after a few months the deodorant itself stopped being effective for me.
Feedback
If you are the type of person who needs a deodorant that keeps you from getting stinky this is not the product.

At first I had no issues and loved this brand - it worked well and smelled great however after a few months it stopped working as well and I started to smell worse than without it. I also eventually developed a rash so I switched to their sensitive version. The sensitive version stained a lot of my clothing (I wear a lot of dark colors) and again made me smell worse so I had to stop using it entirely.
I have only used their deodorant, but I've been using aluminum free deodorant for years now and I found Native's deodorant to be chalky and clumpy the longer into the day I wore it.
Man, I really wish I could rate this brand higher. The scents are INCREDIBLE and the formula didn’t mess with my skin! However, it stopped working after awhile and I was left super stinky and sweaty. The residue left on the underarms of my shirts is so hard to remove and builds up over time on my clothes. I felt like I had to use a ton for it to even work just a little. It’s a bummer because I used to always get compliments on how great I smelled.

Formula leaves thick residue on shirts that’s hard to remove
