Native earns praise in reviews for clean ingredients, refined scents (Coconut & Vanilla, Eucalyptus & Mint, Lilac & White Tea) and comfortable, non-irritating wear for many, but effectiveness is inconsistent: several reviewers report odor breakthrough, frequent reapplication, staining, and texture issues. Reviews note body wash and haircare smell fresh and lather well, while deodorant can underperform in heat or workouts and sometimes causes rashes or gritty residue.

Love the smells!!!! Would love if they came out with an antiperspirant too, I hate the feeling of underarm sweat.
Feedback
Antiperspirant
One of my top natural deodorant picks - fairly neutral smell.
Feedback
Doesn't always cut it with heavy exercise.
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.

Decent smelling but won’t do anything for you in a sweaty summer situation

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!
Love the different scents and how widely available it is. The only downside with a natural deodorant is that it doesn't last as long and most likely will need to be reapplied.
Love the scents!
Native deodorant has been incredibly effective for me. It's kept me smelling nice through intense summer heat and spin classes. A natural deodorant with the ability to last and perform is impressive.
Loved the smell of the coconut one (orange packaging). It also lasted a pretty long time.
Feedback
It's a great deodorant but doesn't hold up very well with a workout. I have a different deodorant for that.
I’ve used Native for years! It’s my favorite natural deodorant. I love their scent options and the fact that they now offer plastic-free packaging. PSL was my favorite (rip 😢), but I really like the cupcake scent, coconut vanilla, and citrus and herbal musk. Do I still sweat a little? Yes, but that’s pretty standard for natural deodorant. Their body wash and hair products are nice, too!
I love that Native Deodorant's deodorants are aluminum-free. I tried the Coconut & Vanilla on a long-distance trip I was going on and didn't know when I would have the opportunity to reapply. It surprisingly held up pretty well despite my hyperhidrosis! The smell is a familiar vanilla with subtle tropical coconut vibes -- it's approachable without being too overly intense or fragrant. I like it contains natural ingredients to help curb sweating.
Feedback
Price point, gritty texture, plastic use - use more eco-friendly packaging

I’m a huge fan of native. I’m not a stinky person so I wasn’t looking for a super strong deodorant. I love the website and that you can create your own custom deo.
Feedback
Maybe slightly cheaper? It does last a while tho!
I tried the Apple and Honeysuckle deodorant and liked the smell. I have it about a month of use, but despite the pleasant smell of the deodorant, my body odor was just so bad that I quit using it. Not sure if I’m an odd case, but found that it wasn’t working for me.
Feedback
Some of the scents are nauseating.

Native is great aluminum-free natural deodorant. The product is clear, but I find it takes a few minutes to dry fully. I have only purchased at target stores and have not used their website.
