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.

love the smell and it really works
Honestly I have only trained the deodorant, which I do really enjoy. The range of scents is incredible, and they all smell so good it's hard to resist. I want to try the body wash and haircare, but I wish they had sample sizes so I don't have to commit to a large bottle and have my hair disagree with the formulation.
Feedback
Quite expensive, and wish they had sample sizes to test the products.
This works well for me - I combine it with an acid deodorant (The Ordinary Glycolic Acid or the KosasSport one) and I don't find that I smell, and when I've asked neither have the people around me. I apply at least every 24 hours, or when I'm changing clothes. I like the more classic/neutral smells (the mints, the cottons, charcoal) and find they aren't overwhelming at all. I mostly use it to avoid stains on clothes and because it is easy to wash out if you over apply. I love the plastic free packaging as well.This is not an antiperspirant, so don't expect it to stop sweat. And I don't know if I'd use this in an extreme heat situation. But for my day to day life, it works really well!
I want so badly to love the Native deodorant but it's no super efficient in the summer months. I found myself needing to reapply every few hours.

Good products (except for the plastic free deodarant which falls apart and streaks) are definitely to be found with Native. I would like to see cheaper options, as there's not that much innovation happening here. You could DIY some of their options.
Feedback
Pricey and unnecessarily so.
I'm totally willing to pay a higher price for a sustainable product that I love, but unfortunately this one just doesn't work for me. I've never had an issue with another natural deodorant, but Native products give me a rash under my arms that is tough to deal with. I'm super bummed because I love their scents, but this one just isn't for me.
i love these scents and love the ingredients even more!
Feedback
no plastic packaging
super - very organic and friendly product ! surprisingly it lasts long on your body so that’s a plus - im buying this again
Feedback
better packing - little more colourful
Only one scent worked for me; coconut. I found that everything else irritated my underarms too much.
The only scent that kept me odor free for more than a few hours was the cucumber and mint. This deodorant seemed to drip off of me and get on my clothes as well. While it may one of the better natural deodorants I’ve tried it is not without fault.
Feedback
I would like native to work on their formula to better protect against odor.
Love the smells!!!! Would love if they came out with an antiperspirant too, I hate the feeling of underarm sweat.
Feedback
Antiperspirant
The deodorant did not hold up— while the packaging was nice and the scent was great (probably the best selling point), it did not do a great job and keeping me dry or masking odor.
Feedback
The product needs to mask odor better.

This didn't work well for me at all. I sweated through almost immediately and noticed that I smelled of sweat within 3 hours.
Feedback
Improve the product overall. It may be fine to use in colder months but doesn't hold down in the more humid seasons.
I have been repurchasing Native deodorant for 3 years. My favourite scents are Coconut & Vanilla and Cucumber & Mint. I am not an excessive sweater, however I am very active (I run and play tennis and volleyball regularly). Native is the best reasonably-priced natural deodorant I've tried versus other natural deodorants found at the drugstore (Tom's, Schmidt's, etc). The other brands wouldn't stop me from smelling or sweating. Native stops any smell entirely for me, however it doesn't keep me as dry as an antiperspirant. For day-to-day workouts and Canadian summers, it's fine. If I was travelling to a tropical climate, it's not 100% dry but I'm okay with that.
Feedback
I wish they had more mini/travel versions easily available as I find the deodorant too clunky for travel (as someone with a lot of personal care products).

I thought this was going to be it! I heard so much about it on the podcasts I listen to. The day had come where I'd finally use a discount code. It arrived and I was so happily surprised by the scent I had purchased (one of their mint scents). Delicious... but not for long.
Feedback
Unfortunately, no matter how or when I apply this deodorant, it just doesn't last. I can smell myself seeping through within a few hours and, by the end of the day, it's as if I never put deodorant on at all. A huge letdown (and embarrassment) during my 9-5.

The smells are so nice, and protect well against odor!
Feedback
Would love it if they had a rock-mineral salt formulation as well. I don’t like the feel of the product on my skin - feels a little powdery/greasy.
Have tried the body washes, shampoo, and conditioner. The scents are amazing but don't really love how they left my skin and hair feeling.
The packaging and branding of native is great, but like most natural deodorants, I feel like it didn't quite work. But, I like their messaging and overall look!
