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.

  • I’m writing this because I love the scents that they make. The lilac and white tea body wash is incredible. I really wish the natural deodorant worked on me! I just feel like I notice more deodorant marks than with other kinds - I saw they have a spray deodorant now which is what I use with other brands so I’d be inclined to try that! I also wish the lotions were more available in stores (I have never tried the lotion to go with the wash + haven’t been able to find the lotion in that specific scent in store)

  • Unfortunately these didn't really work for me year-round. I've tried a lot of natural deodorants and haven't had much luck with them working well during the hotter months. I do like Native for cooler months when I won't be sweating as much though - the product has a nice consistency and I love all of the scents they offer.

  • My partner changed his normal shampoo to their Sweet Peach & Nectar and has rave reviews! Smells amazing, his hair is a softer, shinier and it hasn’t irritated his scalp.

  • Wasn't a huge fan. Didn't work for me but I do like the way it smells on its own

  • I love the native packaging, but I found the deodorant just so so. I've tried other natural deodorants that worked better with my body chemistry.

  • This natural Deodorant actually works! I have tried so many and this is the only one that actually works and is healthy for you.

  • I really have liked their shampoo and body wash, but their deodorant didn’t last for me. I returned to a stronger, natural deodorant after giving Native’s a try.

  • Smells good, but doesn’t last as long as other natural deodorant brands I have tried. No sweat protection, as well

  • I really wanted to love Native's natural deodorant. I loved the variety of scents that this brand offers, but the actual product did not work for me.

  • I was really excited to try a "non-toxic" deodorant, but unfortunately it did not work for me. While using it I was excessively sweaty. Disappointing because they have a great mission statement.

  • I’ve only used the deodorant so I can’t speak to other products. I liked the scent but the it just didn’t work for me. It’s in my drawer as back up, in case I run out of my preferred brand, but I wouldn’t buy it again.

  • sadly did not work for me, the scents for deodorant are really nice, i must be too sweaty (sad)

  • Was amazing but I think they changed their formula because it’s not working as well. I have better luck if I order directly than if I pick it up at Target.

  • Native has a great assortment of scents it offers, as well as product line. Their deodorants are natural and contain no aluminum, which is super important to me. My husband also loves their products which is helpful as he switches over to that non-toxic product life!

  • I love this brand!! I have used their natural deodorant for years and recently started using their spray deodorant. I am obsessed with this new product!

  • I’ve tried this brand’s stick deodorant multiple times. Not my favorite natural deodorant - smells nice at first but wears away quickly and can feel a bit irritating. It does have a better price point than many natural deodorants. Body wash, shampoo, and conditioner are all ‘fine’ and look good in the shower.

  • Native helped my skin during pregnancy. The products are very affordable and its easy to comprehend their ingredients and how to use them. The scents are also very unisex.

  • I was using Native way back when their only product was deodorant, so it's really cool to see how many products they offer now. I realized I'm just not a natural deodorant person because I *need* antiperspirant. However, if I need to freshen up, I still enjoy using Native deodorant in combination with my antiperspirant. I absolutely love the variety of scents and the constant new seasonal scents coming out. Native, any chance you can make an antiperspirant someday?
