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 my go to deodorant! When I was younger, I would always fight with my mom because she mentioned that the aluminum in deodorant wasn’t good for you, but there was never any options that didn’t contain the ingredient. It’s so nice that native came onto market with an affordable product that all smell amazing and have cool packaging and branding for us girls who just want to stay healthy and not pollute our bodies with unnecessary chemicals.
This is my favourite clean deodorant on the market, and I've tried at least 10 other brands. It doesn't leave a weird residue, smells really good and keeps me not smelling bad. My only complaint is that it's a little expensive for a product that only lasts a month or so.
I so badly wanted to like this product — the packaging is sleek, the scents are unique and clean, and it’s accessible in most stores (in the event I’m traveling and forget to pack deodorant)… but it somehow made me smell worse than if I hadn’t used anything at all. Such a bummer, but I’m glad it works for others.
The deodorant smells very nice but it was not super effective for sweat.
I love Native's deodorant. I usually only use the Lavender and Rose and it smells great. It lasts throughout the day and I rarely have to reapply. It has even helped to lighten my underarms which was a major plus for me since I wear a lot of sleeveless tops. The only downside for me is the price is a little steep for deodorant, but it is still worth the buy for a better cleaner product.
Love this brand. I have tried a lot of deodorant brands and this one is by far one of my favorites. Smells amazing and the scent lasts for so long. It also does cause any skin irritation which was a problem for me in the past.
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
