Native earns praise in reviews for clean ingredients, refined scents (Coconut & Vanilla, Eucalyptus & Mint, Lilac & White Tea) and comfortable, non-irritating wear for many, but effectiveness is inconsistent: several reviewers report odor breakthrough, frequent reapplication, staining, and texture issues. Reviews note body wash and haircare smell fresh and lather well, while deodorant can underperform in heat or workouts and sometimes causes rashes or gritty residue.

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.
Feedback
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 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.
Feedback
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.
