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.

  • Native's products smell so good and I want to love them, but I have dry sensitive skin and every body wash, shampoo, and deodorant I have tried from them has irritated my skin.

    Feedback

    I would love to see a gentle deodorant or body wash from native that is geared towards sensitive skin, but until then, I won't be repurchasing.

  • Great product and website. Pity about the plastic packaging, but I know that they're working on that. There's a ton of newer competition on the market these days, so worth scoping those out to see what's best for you.

  • I have tested out this brand in a few different scents and the fragrance and even protection time has been more on the subtle side, which may be fine for other users but for me, it didn't last long enough or give me too much to get excited about for some new scents accompanying me for the day. Bit expensive, gets used up to quickly.

    Feedback

    Quality seems nice, I would try again if there was a more masculine line developed that addressed the concerns.

  • I love the vanilla and coconut! It feels great and makes me smell amazing all day.

    Feedback

    Make a bigger size so I don’t run out as fast.

  • I’ve tried so many scents but just none of them hold up through a whole day, even if I’m not exercising

  • I love Native products, especially the body wash which I always keep on hand. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new body care brand.

    Feedback

    My only criticism is that the Native deodorant left white streaks on some of my shirts, so I wouldn't use that particular product again.

  • Io che ho la pelle sensibile, ero un pò titubante se provare questo prodotto, ma alla fine è stato la mia salvezza. Solitamente mi si irrita la pelle perchè ho una pelle molto sensibile a tutto, ma questo prodotto è veramente fantastico! Inodore, si può mettere nelle borse, e semplice da utilizzare, assolutamente consigliato!

  • The underarm deodorant was dry and chalky, not my favorite. I like what the company stands for and the quality of the products they use.

    Feedback

    This product is not for me. I don’t like chalky clay… deodorant.

  • I love their soaps but I have to be the only person who's skin is irritated by their deodorant. I dont understand why because they pride themselves on only natural ingredients but for some reason it makes my armpits itch like crazy. But my wife uses it and loves it! I do love their body soaps though!

    Feedback

    No feedback! I would love to keep seeing more delicious scents!

  • so glad that I switched to this brand for my deodorants, it's very important to me to use products without aluminum and native does a great job with it! i love the smell options they provide and the formula works great for me!

  • I enjoyed the scent of this deodorant (I tried the coconut vanilla one) but it did not perform as well as other natural deodorants. It also dried out in the tube really fast.

  • Have to give it only 3/5 because unfortunately it made me break out in a rash :( very sad because I love the branding on this, love the look, really love the smell, but it just doesn't work for me. I hope it works for others! I do still recommend this, but perhaps to someone whose skin isn't so picky :(

  • I've tried the deodorant in both Lavender & Rose and Coconut & Vanilla. They both smell really good, very fresh. I wouldn't necessarily say I'm a "sweater", but when I did sweat it occasionally left me with a slimy, persistent wet feeling. Sounds gross, I know. Because of that, I've been searching for alternatives. Maybe the formula doesn't play well with my body chemistry.

    Feedback

    Smells very good and I love the variety of scents. I just didn't feel confident or protected while wearing this deodorant because I was nervous I'd have a pool of sweat showing through my blouse by the end of a work day in the office. It may be a formula issue, in my case.

  • I have mixed feelings about it. Pros: The scent options are great. I went for the coconut and vanilla and it smells delicious! I like that the formula is aluminum and parabens free. Cons: I found that while it did keep me feeling fresh throughout the day, it did start to wear off sooner than some of my other natural deodorants.

    Feedback

    Overall, I would recommend this product if you're looking for a natural option, but just be aware that the staying power might not be as strong as you're used to.

  • I love the feeling of the Native Shampoo & Conditioner on my hair. After three days, I immediately felt that my hair was more moisturized.

    Feedback

    If you are looking for new haircare products made of simple ingredients, I recommend giving Native a try.

  • The scent of the deodorant was good; however, it didn't conceal my odor and wasn't an effective product.

  • IT SMELLS SO GOOD! This is my go to deodorant!! It has lasted all day even at the gym! I love it so much I had family members purchase and it has now become their staple deodorant as well!
