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.

I wanted to love this! But it just didn’t work for me. It does however smell lovely.
I recently bought a travel size of the cocoa butter Native and that small deo has lasted me forever! They are great to pop into my crossbody and it never hurts to have clean products!

This “deodorant” only makes the smell worse as it does nothing to tackle the true source of body odor, opting to instead mask it with fragrances
Feedback
Maybe make a product that actually works!
I am all about organic and clean products but Native gave my skin a rash and I completely discarded it as soon as I noticed the rash. The scent is very subtle which I liked but it was unfortunate my skin had a reaction...
I. Love. Native. I received my first deodorant from them years ago at a Favorite Things party and was intrigued by having Rose scented deodorant. I didn't love it at first, but I think there might be a small window where your skin has to adjust. Now - I can't use anything else. It just doesn't work as well! I don't smell EVER with Native. One time I did break out to a certain scent, but customer service was great and sent me a sensitive version without question and that did the trick. Love the marketing on their emails after you make a purchase.

I miss when you could do the custom scent with your name on the label. Sure - the label was fun - but the scent I came up with was DIVINE. Truly should be a main scent, in my opinion, but that could be biased :)
I absolutely love Native. I have been using their deodorant for a while now, and have it in several different scents, all which smell amazing. I often find myself in the deodorant aisle at the store just sniffing to see which one I want next! I also recently started using the body wash and love it also - it suds up really nicely and my shower still smells nice the next day.
I’ve been looking to switch to a natural deodorant and I believe this is the best one! There’s a wide variety of scents to choose from and I feel like you don’t have to reapply as frequently compared to other natural deodorant brands. My favorite scent is definitely the eucalyptus and Mint!
I recently purchased products from the candy shop line and they smell amazing! I’ve slowly been switching over to more natural products with fewer toxins. It was time to switch shampoo, conditioner, and deodorant and Native had just what I was looking for. The products smell so good. They’re sweet, but not overpowering. The deodorant works great as long as you detox your arm pits before using it with a mixture of Aztec clay and apple cider vinegar.

I would love to see more scents come out!
When looking for an antiperspirant brand that was vegan and did not contain aluminum, this was one of the first brands I tried. I put it on and left the house and within 15 minutes of application, I could feel it running down my sides, basically melting off. I sweat a normal amount, so I thought that to be very weird. I also was not a fan of the scent, which I had picked lavender. Just not my favorite thing I've tried.
I don't think a lot of people know that you need to clarify the underarms before using this! I really adore native and think it foes a great job for what it is. It does leave a white vast
Feedback
The white cast/stain it leaves is kinda unpleasant so if there is a way to make a clear version that would be nice.
I have tried a number of scents of the regular deodorant. It's for sure one of the better natural deodorants out there. It won't perform like a typical deodorant/antiperspirant so don't expect that. But, it does last a long time and I didn't have any issues with irritation.
I thought this would be a better alternative but it doesn’t work, unfortunately.
I tested the native Cucumber & Mint deodorant and it did not hold me for a full day. Once applying the product, I was a little nervous because usually I stick to what I know but I dedicated to go for it. It smells absolutely refreshing but unfortunately I started to notice that there was a funny scent from my armpits. I quickly, refreshed and applied more through out the day and it seem to work that way. Overall, if you have been using other deodorants for the past few years; it will take awhile for your body to fully detox from other products you used but once all the toxins are out your body possibly this product would work for you!

I tried the deodorant because I was looking for an aluminum-free deodorant. The scent was nice before applying it. However, the smell, once you apply it and leave it for a few hours, is not as pleasant. It isn't the worst natural deodorant that I have tried, but it definitely is not quite as effective as I would like it to be.
Feedback
If the deodorant was just a little more effective it would be great. I am someone who would just like to apply deodorant once a day and have it be enough. With Native, you would need to re-apply frequently throughout the day and at some point, the smell just gets a little weird.
Love that Native is accessible at most grocery or dept stores, I have looked forward to their seasonal/holiday drops this past year, and I'm not typically a seasonal scent girl. (Sugar Cookie and Spiked Egg Nog? Sign me up.) Pleasant scent but not overpowering and aluminum-free.
Good quality, kind of expensive in Canada

Liked the scent of the deodorant but left a sticky/waxy situation. The body soap, however, is very pleasant to use.
For a natural deodorant, Native is the best I have tried. However, natural deodorant kind of doesn’t work. This product is great to use on days where you are close to home and not super active. I would stick to old-school deodorant for high- intensity exercise and first dates!
While I love what Native brand stands for and its conscientious ingredients, unfortunately, it didn't work well for me. I purchased the Unscented - Sensitive variety and it worked well for about a week, then was entirely ineffective. I then relegated it to at-home use only as it wouldn't provide sufficient deodorizing for extended periods of time, and certainly not strenuous physical activity such as exercising. Likely work differently for everyone, but unfortunately doesn't work for me.

Would recommend with the knowledge this could be part of a trial-and-error experiment. May not work for everyone.
The deodorant didn’t really hold up well for me- I found the need to reapply. Great scents though!
