Reviews mention

  • Refined, memorable fragrances
  • Gentle, sensitive-skin formulas
  • Smooth, glide-on application
  • Accessible, diverse scent range
  • Inconsistent odor longevity
  • Occasional white residue transfer
  • Gritty, sticky deodorant texture
  • Noticeable shirt staining risk

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.

  • Smells good but not my favorite on long lasting

    Feedback

    ok for the price

  • I have tried the coconut scented deodorant. I personally suffer from excessive sweat, but this deodorant still lasted me almost a whole day of being outside and running around. Although it did itch a bit, it was still amazing and i loved how well it worked.

  • Really enjoy how the deodorant works.

    Feedback

    Really enjoy how the deodorant works. Give it a try, works great for someone with sensitive skin.

  • The ONLY deodorant that will actually block out odor for hoursss I swear by this!!

    Feedback

    Wouldn’t change a thing!! Love!!

  • Pricey- for $13 for deodorant, I was expecting more. I like that it doesn't contain aluminum and other harsh and potentially dangerous chemicals, but I did not find that it was very effective in keeping underarms dry. Fragrances are nice though.

  • Felt great, smelled amazing, but didn’t do much for my stress-sweat (which leads to some BO :( ). It might just be that my body needs a much stronger antiperspirant/deodorant. But I would recommend it to less sweaty people :)

    Stronger antiperspirant

  • I have been searching for a natural deodorant that works and doesn’t make my skin feel like it’s burning off and this is it! Such a great product with good scent and odor control.

    Feedback

    This brand is truly so great and I have used multiple products from them like their conditioner and shampoo and I love all of it!

  • I’m only familiar with the deodorant, but I can say without a doubt I will not be repurchasing. It did close to nothing for me and had no odor protection.

    Reformulate

  • This deodorant is just not for me. I was excited about it when they first came on the scene as one of the first natural deodorants, but since then I've found other brands that work better for me. I don't like the tacky texture of the stick, it does not glide easily, and leaves a heavy residue on my skin.

  • This is one of the few natural deodorants that's worked for me, almost as well as regular aluminum deodorant. I really love the Citrus & Herbal Musk scent and that I can conveniently find it in my local drugstore.

    Feedback

    Pricey for a drugstore brand, but works better than most other natural deodorants found int he drugstore.

  • I love native! I use everything from they’re shampoo, conditioner and body wash to their deodorant, it smells amazing and feels like it too

  • I love the product and its brand message but my package arrived damaged and the deodorant came out of its packaging. It was all an easy fix but wish it all arrived ok in the first place. I like the product and enjoy the use of it.

  • I have used their deodorant and body wash and LOVE both of them. I enjoy the Vanilla Coconut scent the most and love how they list every ingredient in normal terms on their packaging. Great brand from my experience!

    Feedback

    My boyfriend used the deodorant, and for him it left white spots on his clothing. This hasn't happened with me but something to note!

  • This stuff really works! I have tried a number of different clean deodorants and antiperspirants but this is the only one that works and smells great all day long.

    Feedback

    My favorite is the vanilla coconut but man, these all smell so good. I haven't ever found a better deodorant and I'll never buy another brand. I trust them too with their ingredients!

  • I wanted to like this, but I stunk for weeks. I was told it would pass, but just couldn't go on another day.

  • It’s the best alternative deodorant I’ve used. It doesn’t make my sweat stop, but it does stop the smell. It’s not too harsh, but still works. Plus, a lot of the scents are great!

    Feedback

    I wish it was easier to get the version in cardboard packaging.

  • I had written native off after a lackluster deodorant experience but recently been trying their body wash and shampoo/ conditioner and have really enjoyed them. Smell is luxurious, price point is affordable, and mission of brand is excellent.

    Feedback

    Proceed at your own risk re: natural deodorant but smells are great and other products are wonderful. Their toothpaste is also excellent!

  • I tried their deodorant, body wash and lotion and was unimpressed. The deodorant gave my skin a rash and did nothing for odor and I tried a few different scents over several weeks before I gave up. The body wash did not foam up will, though the scent was nice, but I prefer a more foamy product. The lotion was very light and not very hydrating and I used it in the summer and still had dry skin so I ditched it, I need a more hydrating option. But the scent was nice.
