Reviews mention

  • Sophisticated, natural-leaning fragrances
  • Clean, cruelty-free formulations
  • Comfortable, smooth application
  • Non-stripping, lathery body washes
  • Inconsistent odor protection
  • White residue and staining
  • Gritty, sticky deodorant texture
  • Can cause underarm irritation

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.

  • I was bummed about Native. They are now known to be a company that greenwashes. Their deodorant lasts maybe an hour, but only in the perfect conditions. Air-conditioned room, with minimal movement. If you are someone who need a low-scent, sweat-blocking, long-lasting deodorant, this brand is not for you. I love the idea behind this brand and their recyclable packaging, but they still have a long way to go in backing up their product claims.

  • The only all natural deodorant that REALLY works, and it smells so good.

  • I tried the sensitive skin facial cleanser and used it a couple times but can't bring myself to use it anymore. It has the smell and consistency of glue and it dries out my skin. It was a waste of a bottle.

  • Great scents and they smell better when rubbed on your skin than in the bottles. Especially the detergents!

  • This is one of few brands of deodorant that do not irritate my skin and has an effect. I like the variety of options for scents and that you can purchase a plastic-free container, but I wish that it was the same price as the plastic containers because the plastic-free is more expensive (or sell refills for a plastic container)

  • I love the native brand products they are gentle on the skin, leave skin smelling great, smooth and hydrated, deodorant last more than 24 hrs during hot sticky weather, stress or intense activity

  • Native's Body Wash and Deodorant are my new favorite personal hygiene products. Finding a high quality body wash and deodorant have been a priority of mine and I believe I have found it !

  • I really like the coconut vanilla deodorant, it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin and I only have to reapply every 6 hours or so. That’s pretty impressive for a natural deodorant.

  • All of the products smell amazing but the deodorant doesn’t really work.

  • One of my favorite brands of deodorant works really well. Good for people with sensitivities.

  • Native body and face wash are requirement in my shower, they have the best smells and are sustainable. I have sensitive skin and Native does not irritate it at all. The deodorant isn't the best, at least not for me I sweat a lot and my long curly hair wishes it could be tamed by Native hair care but it is too finicky .

  • The scents are amazing. I love all of the seasonal scents and the girl scout flavors as well.

  • As a stinky girl™️ this stuff does NOT work. I fell for the marketing and cute scent combos but for the price it does absolutely NOTHING. It hardly even masks the scent. I'd rather have aluminum in my pits than smell all day...

  • Love the deodorants and like that they are aluminum free. I have sensitive skin and many brands of deodorant break me out in a rash but not Native.

  • Native Lavender & Rose deodorant is my daily defense against stinky pits. It's my go-to, and if you're pushing it hard at the gym, maybe a quick reapply, but hey, a small price for keeping it natural. Love the lavender scent.

  • I wanted to love this brand and tried so so so very hard. I purchased multiple scents and it all smelled decent but was hard to apply and the white rubbed off on things and it was chalky and didn’t work. There are much better all natural deodorants on the market or none at all.

  • The Native Hydrating Facial Wash is my favorite face wash, especially because I have super dry skin. After each use my face is left feeling hydrated and so so soft!!!!! 10/10 recommend and plus it’s super affordable!

  • I like the deodorants. It didn’t give me any allergies like other brands.

  • I have been using the Native body wash since 2 years now, it leaves the body clean and moisturized. Coconut and Vanilla scent is my absolute favorite, not too over powering yet smells good. And the packaging is simple and practical.
