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.

works pretty well but other brands work better
Used the deodorant for several years, works fairly well for an aluminum free deodorant. Unfortunately, I can’t use any more due to sensitivity to some of the ingredients.

Love the clean and clear ingredient labels. Native scores major points with me for not using propylene glycol in their shampoos and conditioners. This common irritant and allergen makes its way into a ton of “clean” products and is a baddy for me. The packaging is also simple and clean and blends easily into any shower shelf.
I love the bodywash, but found the deodorant to be almost completely ineffective, unfortunately.
Native I personally really liked and how my body chemistry worked well with it. When I try natural products such as deodorant it can be a huge hit or miss. It didn't miss much, but it did take time for my body chemistry to get use to it. But now when I sweat I don't have much of an odor. Now it smells like vanilla.
This the go-to deodorant for my entire family, including my two very smelly teens! They love it because it. smells good and we love it because we are not poisoning them.

I love the unique scents offered in Native body products. The body washes left me feeling fresh. The scent lingers for about half an hour to an hour after getting out of the shower. I did not feel that it left my skin feeling dry as some washes often do. The deordorant, however, did not work for me. I did not feel that it combatted sweat and body odor as well as my ordinary deodorant. However, I have a family member who has had to use clinical strength deodorant in the past who has loved Native deodorant and felt that it was the best option for them.
I've used the coconut fragrance and love it. It takes some getting used to perspiring again after using antiperspirants for decades, but I've found I don't mind it so much. The scent is powerful enough that it masks any perspiration odor, and I think it's actually making my underarm skin softer in the process. I'd definitely recommend it, and have already. The only reason for the four out of five is that it fades in the middle of a workout. Now I tend to sweat a lot when I work out, so maybe I'm an outlier but I find I get about 30 minutes in and the scent protection fades. Also, the plastic tends to scrape the skin if the deodorant isn't raised about 1/3" up. I'm used to my Secret antiperspirant where I barely need the stick to be above the case edge to swipe comfortably. It won't keep me from buying the product, but it would be nice if the container was modified.
I wanted to love this brand but the deodorant broke me out in a rash every time I used it. I’ve heard it could be because of the essential oils or the baking soda, but I haven’t been able to pinpoint what the issue was. I do love the scent range of the body wash, I’m just hoping I can one day use the deo as well.

I use the body wash and deodorant - the scents are really nice. The body wash lathers well and rinses clean, the deodorant lasts all day. The deodorant also comes in a plastic free container if you prefer.

Didn't love the feel/consistency of the product unfortunately - the idea is great, but found other deodorants that are natural and seem to have more of a variety and better feel (this was kind of dry).
It’s hard to find an effective, clean deodorant. Native is one of the best and most effective natural deodorants I’ve tried after years of trying to find something that works. Check the ingredients for the specific scent though - some are not as clean as others.

I like that they change either scents and it is very possible native just does not work with my body, but I cannot use native for months without developing a horrible rash on my underarms. However I love their face and body wash.
Not super effective and hard on skin. Good smells

Used this some. It seems to work well. Pleasant scents. Wish there was less plastic in the packaging.

these smell great and i really wish it worked for me, but if you have sensitive skin this may not be the natural deodorant for you. sadly, it made my skin so irritated that i could not use it.

Loved it initially, but discovered that I may be allergic to one of the ingredients.
I love the mission on Nature and the deodorant lasted me (F) a while and smelled good. My boyfriend however could not do too many activies using this deodorant as he would still smell a little. We have since found sometgin that works well with him so I am sure it's possible! Great mission and smells!
