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.

  • At first I was very iffy about this brand as it cause really bad under arm bumps for me but the second time it was a win for me. On top of that the scents are irresistible

  • what is better than a healthy and beautifully scented hygiene brand? i love all the scents especially ones with eucalyptus, coconut, and lavender! i’ve tried many deodorants but nothing has stood out as much as Native deodorant! love it!

  • It provides a great protection against the sweat and moisture. Keeps me dry and provides fresh and pleasant fragrance. Doesn’t stain my skin or clothes. It’s also provides long lasting freshness.

  • the native deep conditioner is everything my hair has been needing. It moisturizes without weighing my hair down and it stays hydrated longer. Plus all clean chemicals

  • feels good to use clean products on your skin. for those with sensitive skin, I highly recommend!

  • Smells good but unsure if it’s the best clean deodorant, could be doing a better job

  • Good clean brand, my sister really likes it but it causes a little bit or irritation to my sensitive underarms.

  • I’ve tried it several times and I always end up with a rash after a few months. Same with my partner

  • Ok I think this might be an unpopular opinion but native has never worked for me - I would absolutely love to use the deodorant but I feel like every time I’ve used it it’s honestly like I didn’t even put on deodorant. And I don’t want to have to carry it around with me and reapply throughout the day. I’m not sure if it’s just me or because it’s a more natural product it doesn’t work as well but as far as functionality goes I wouldn’t buy this!

  • There is a mini-size Native deodorant in every bag that I own. I love the scents and the feel of the deodorants, and I pick up a mini size of the seasonal collection deodorants when they are released. The packaging for the minis is a little flimsy and can break easily, but I have not had that experience with the regular size.

  • Worked for a few weeks until it didn’t. Then I had to switch back to my regular ole deodorant to get my armpit BO down

  • I tried Native deodorant when I was looking for a natural deodorant without aluminum. they have a ton of scents and I feel like they actually work for the most part. When I wear it, I notice that I don't stink, and if I do it's towards the end of the day. I like their deodorant, but I will likely only wear it in the winter months, as I tend to sweat badly in the summer and it doesn't hold up.

  • i appreciate the mission, but i am just too sweaty & smelly for these deodorants to have any effect on me. works well for about an hour though!

  • I have used this brand and i like it. They have many options but i like their body wash the best.

  • I really wanted to like this deodorant and bought it for my family as well. I just don't think it works well enough for me, and I felt like I needed to reapply much quicker than I did with my previous deodorant. I do like the different fragrances. I do workout a lot and have a very outdoor lifestyle so this may be better for someone who is inside and not quite as active.

  • Have always struggled with the texture, feels rough and irritating to my sensitive skin. Smells amazing but stops working after a couple of weeks for me

  • The deodorant did not work for me and I wasn’t a huge fan of the body wash either unfortunately. I tried the vanilla scent.
