Native reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Refined, natural-leaning fragrances
  • Gentle, sensitive-skin formulas
  • Smooth, comfortable application
  • Attractive, sustainable packaging
  • Inconsistent odor protection longevity
  • White residue and shirt staining
  • Occasional gritty, sticky texture
  • Body wash sometimes feels drying

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.

  • This is an awesome deodorant for the winter months. It’s by far the best natural deodorant I’ve tried. However, it still doesn’t effectively combat summer in California. But I’ll take it for 7 months of the year. The scents are amazing!

  • Liked it at first, but it's just not enough for me. Smells are all very pleasant but often "layer" with body odor rather than mask or eliminate.

  • Was looking for a cleaner deodorant alternative but unfortunately this made me break out.

  • I really like Native deodorant. I've tried several different scents and have loved all of them except A Dozen Roses scent. I guess it's too many roses for me.😅 It's just a little too strong for my liking. Coconut & vanilla has been my favorite scent and the rest were quite lovely too. Their mini deodorants are perfect for on-the-go use.

  • Love the scent of the coconut and vanilla deodorant body spray. It is lovely, but after a full days of work as a nurse it doesn’t last. It wears off at some point and doesn’t do a great job of keeping me fresh smelling. I still continue to use it over stick deodorant because it doesn’t leave any white residue. But, it may not last the whole day.

  • This deodorant is nice because its eco friendly, but I do not like the fact that there isnt a scent to them.

  • Amazing scents. Body wash is fantastic, deodorant does not work for me.

  • 5 stars for the spray and 3 stars for the solid stick averages to 4 stars total. The spray is amazing. Nothing natural works like that one does so it’s the main one I use now. The only drawback is that if I have razor burn, it stings a little. It stops sweat and smells great. The solid stick, however, made me leave a strange residue on clothing. It’s hard to clean off and sometimes needs to be spot treated.

  • I have been using this deodorant for 5 years. And most of the other product they make. The deodorant is amazing. Curly hair shampoo and conditioner works amazing on my mix kids hair. And the face wash is gentle.

  • Works in a pinch but doesn’t last all day. I would reach for my other deodorants first. It leaves a thicker layer of residue on my underarms than normal. The scent options are nice though.

  • Love this brand. Took me a long time to find a better for me deo that actually worked

  • Products smell great but not worth it for the price. The deodorant does not last, though it is best smelling natural deodorant I have tried. I love the shampoo but the price point is just too high for it.

  • I wanted to like this product… it worked well for about the first week and then it just didn’t anymore. I tried different versions of it and had the same issue. Maybe it my body chemistry?

  • This was a great deodorant to use, however the smell of the deodorant did not last as long as I was hoping

  • Native is great, smells amazing and has a very smooth consistency. I also love good packaging and Native has very clean and simple containers. Plus the mini deodorants are so cute. I talk about Native so much my mom bought me a bundle of Native products as a birthday gift.

  • I think this is the best clean deodorant on the market, that being said, you still need to reapply from time to time!

  • Really good smells and comfort level! Would love an aspect to make it a little less tacky with the deoderant! But otherwise an amazing product Id purchase again!
