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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
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.
I switch deodorants a few years ago because they’d irritate my skin. I was hesitant about a natural kind, but this one actually works!
Amazing scents and products! I love their vanilla body wash and deo. It lasts surprisingly long for being a natural deodorant and is extremely affordable.
Feedback
I think it'd be cool if you switched to primarily plastic free containers.

Its a great Quality brand, but $13 for a stick of deodorant is excessive. It is a high quality option but being double the price of other generic options is a bit ridiculous. I would gladly pay $9 or even $10 but its hard to justify.
Feedback
Lower some of the prices
Loved the scents available. And still felt protected and “stink free!”
Feedback
This was the first aluminum free deodorant I have purchased and would def repurchase! Excited for other smells n scents.
I LOVE everything about this brand. I have YET to be disappointment by any product-especially this one! Ever since I switched over to Native brand deodorant, I will never go back to all the processed, chemical loaded deodorants I was using before.
Love the scent and natural ingredients!
Feedback
Doesn't work as well as aluminum based deodorants but like that it's made of clean ingredients. I have darker skin and it does leave a white residue that's visible on my skin. It also rubs onto clothing sometimes.
Love this product. Feels like it gives great coverage. I do at times feel like I need to apply throughout the day, but I expect that will a natural deodorant.
Feedback
Longer lasting.

While the Native Deodorants don't necessarily work for me (I'm not sure if I'm just someone who naturally sweats/smells more than others?), my fiance LOVES his and I rarely find that I can smell his sweat or any body odor. I do throw on the unscented one if I'll be home all day and I don't want to use a deodorant that has a bunch of chemicals in it if no one is going to come near me anyway! I've also purchased the bar soaps which we've really loved and are great if you want to try a scent without fully committing to wearing it all day.
Feedback
I recently purchased the lotion and while I love the smell (Lavender & Rose, although I love a lot of the Native scents), it definitely leaves a lot of white residue on my body until it soaks in. Again, if I'm just hanging out around my house then I throw it on! But I don't find it to feel as if it dries quickly and would be cautious putting it on before sitting on any nicer furniture!
Amazing products at a reasonable price! I love the scents and variety to choose from
Feedback
I really enjoy the shampoo and conditioner and the body wash! I can't wait to try the deodorant. Sweet Lilac is my preferred scent

I'm giving Native a 3/5 only because of the specific experience I had (which I want to warn others of who might have the same reaction), but I overall think they're a good brand with a good mission and their scents are truly wonderful - I am very sensitive to scents/perfumes and was really loving all the Native options I've smelled
Feedback
I think Native is very well made and the scents and feel are great. Unfortunately, they aren't great for those of us with very sensitive skin. I'm not sure exactly what it is about the mix of ingredients in "natural deodorants" but when I used this for a couple of days, I broke out in a shocking, splotchy and red rash in my armpits. It didn't hurt or itch badly at first, but I did stop using immediately. In the days following, my underarm skin REALLY dried out and itched in all those red/splotchy areas and eventually flaked off. It was very unsettling - be cautious, sensitive skin users!
I purchased travel sized deodorants in multiple scents and enjoyed how compact they are, and they worked well for me. I would recommend - scent options are great.
Feedback
The different sizes and overall look of the product are worth purchasing and trying the deodorants. Great value for price!
I really wanted to like this brand, especially when I was making the switch to non-toxic deodorant. But, it made me break out and was really rough on my skin. I tried it twice and it never worked.

Love this brand’s mission and products! I especially appreciate the strive towards using all natural products. This brand has the best natural deodorant I have ever used.
Feedback
I absolutely love the brand and recommend to everyone.
I have tried Native deodorants a couple times, but I haven’t found it to be that effective as a natural deodorant.
