Native reviews and discussion

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.

  • Great deodorant with a more sustainable packaging. It will take your body some time to balance if using a traditional aluminum deodorant and switching to a natural alternative

  • Great for sensitive skin. Wonderful scents

    Feedback

    I don't like the feeling of the deodorant on my armpit (If that makes sense). When you wash it off its gritty and weird!! Also doesn't last as long as I'd like.

  • LoveNative products they smell amazing , I feel super clean , and good when using them

  • This product did not work for me. However I find it really difficult to get past the initial purging stage, and always end up reaching for my deodorant by the third or fourth day.

    Feedback

    If you can make it past the initial smelly stage of purging your regular deodorant, or just switching natural deodorants— this product is great.

  • Native products have been one of my favorites recently! I love the sense that they carry, as well as what the brand stands for. I really enjoy it sprays versus all the deodorant. I don’t know if I can pick a favorite scent because I love them all.

  • I’ve only tried the deodorant and I tried it 2 separate times. I wear natural deodorant and this one did not work at all

  • Smells good, easy application, not an antiperspirant but the smell of the deodorant is not strong enough to cover the smell of sweat on certain occasions

    Feedback

    I think a stronger scent would be better

  • LOVE my Native deodorants. I've used multiple scents and they're all great. My favorite scent for the deodorants is the Coconut Vanilla, but I did not like this scent for their body wash. The body wash formula had a slight chemical smell.

    Give the products a little smell test before purchasing, even if you think you already like a scent in one product it might not translate well to another.

  • Love the products ingredients however the natural deodorant didn’t work very well.

  • Wear Native deodorant every day. I've switched up my scents over the years, but anything sandalwood or charcoal is my favorite. I have not tried the rest of the product line, but highly recommend Native as a natural deodorant.

    I wish it was a $1 - $2 cheaper. Great product with a variety of scents. Works well.

  • I love all the fun scents Native has! Unfortunately, this deo just didn't work for me... pits were stinky after a normal day of desk work.

  • 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.

    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 :)

    Feedback

    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!
