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
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!
Been using native since they came out!
Feedback
Favorite scent is coconut vanilla! Even have my teens using this due to it being aluminum free! Keeps us dry and stink free without the harsh Chemicals.
I love the lotions and body wash but the deodorant is terrible. You are smelling so bad at the end of the day even if you reapply,
Feedback
Love the concept, packaging and all the new scents. Need a better formula for deodorant.

Wanted to love this but didn't work for me. I tried their deodorant, shampoo and body wash but only liked the body wash. The deodorant didn't last all day and the shampoo weighed down my hair.
Not my favorite. Honestly goes on kind of chalky. I wanted to love this brand. I do love all the smells though

Wanted to like it but was not effective on my body :( Maybe it's good for others tho.
Feedback
Formula wasn't it for me.
Wanted to love Native - and did for a while (a year!) And then, it stopped working. Maybe it never really worked all that well? And I realized it was pretty greasy all along, even marking up my clothing. To be honest, my capacity to deal with the quirks timed out. I was ready for a product that just went on less thick and clumpy and lasted all day.

I know it's a lot to ask from a natural deodorant, and maybe that product isn't out there yet...but I'm still on the hunt!
I am a big fan of NATIVE products. I was looking for a cleaner product to help my sensitive skin. I have tried the deodorant and body wash from their line. They have so many scents to choose from and not to mention it is healthy for your skin with no added preservatives that shouldn't be there.
Feedback
I love NATIVE products there are so many items to choose from I love their deodorant and knowing that is clean and safe for my skin. The only downside of this product is it is quiet pricey for the fewer ingredients, however, if you are okay with that then NATIVE is the product for you!
I love the brand mission, and the use of clean deodorant ingredients. I haven’t been able to commit to the full switch to native deodorant but I do believe it’s one of the better natural deodorants out there.
Feedback
Great option for a natural deodorant. Need to just be more consistent.
As a a natural/non aluminum deodorant, Native feels hard to apply. The smell of the itself is amazing, though. However, like any other natural deodorant, it doesn't work well as it can't keep body odor for a long time.
Feedback
Work on the texture as it is very chalky
It's fine. Unsurprisingly, it isn't nearly as effective as your typical deodorant. I wouldn't expect it to hold up through heavy sweat or stress but if you're working from home and want to take a break from more hardcore ingredients, you could do worse.

I love Native! So clean and sustainable!
Feedback
Fantastic.
I have been using this deodorant for 2-3 weeks now and I love it! I got the Palm Leaf & Agave kind and it smells so great, I even keep on getting compliments from my husband on how good I smell :) I love the fact that it has natural ingredients. It works really well! Price point for a natural product like this is also very good.

Purchased a deodorant because it was a natural/non aluminum option, but it’s sometimes actually painful to apply as it’s dense/hard/chalky. The smell of the deodorant itself is great, though it honestly didn’t work that well as a deodorant for the few times worn
The scents of these products are just incredible. I've fallen in love with my Amber & Cedar deodorant and am eager to use the White Tea & Lilac body wash. The deodorant might be the best-scented body product I've used in a while. It was hard to pick between the two scents! I naturally don't really need to use a strong deodorant so I'm not sure how well this will hold up with more sweating/activities.
