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.

  • 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 :)

    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.

    Feedback

    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.
