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 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.

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

  • Amazing products

  • 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!

  • Although this deo had a refreshing scent, I found that the scent wore off almost immediately! Might try it again because Penn Badgley swears by this!!

  • This is my favorite body wash! The scents are perfect, not too strong but makes you bathroom smell amazing.

  • I tried out their roll-on deodorant (not the spray) and they are great! I love the fact that they are free of several harmful ingredients and do not make my underarms darker in color like others have in the past. The only thing that underperformed for me is how long it lasts once you apply it. I felt that I had to re-apply every 2-3 hours, and I am not someone who sweats much.

  • I'm highly sensitive to smell so I was extremely pleased to find Native's cucumber and mint body wash as it had clean ingredients and a light, refreshing smell. I purchased the produce twice without any issues but on my third bottle found the smell off-putting as it smelt like crayons. I've since switches to meyers bars..

  • I thought this deodorant was pretty good. I actually sweat a lot as a female and I’ve had a hard time finding a sword Kant that actually works and this one worked pretty well. I also feel my skin wasn’t irritated by this brand since my skin is sensitive. Overall I think it worked better than most brands.
