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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Pricey deodorant that I don't think is worth the added cost compared to other natural alternatives.
Feedback
More sustainable packaging! The offered scents are great, but even the sensitive skin version bothered my skin.
It's a great idea and has a decent scent. Unfortunately, the antiperspirant I tried just didn't work. At all. Great packaging. Nice texture. But, poor efficacy.
Feedback
The formula.
Great packaging and really conforms to "Bland" products that we are seeing all over the consumer market. Product unfortunately did not work well for me and went back to my previous deodorant.
I love their scents and the baking soda-free formulas are the best aluminum and baking soda-free deodorants are the best I've ever used!
Feedback
The formula is too thick. Leaves some major product buildup on my clothes that I have to really hand scrub to get out

If you're the sort of person for whom natural deodorant works, good for you! You will probably enjoy the many scents and eco packaging options. If you, like me, have tried many natural deo options but are just too smelly, then avoid.
Feedback
Smell great, but left stains and residue on my clothing and didn't work.

I have yet to find a "natural" deodorant that really prevents sweat and odor as well as a more traditional product, and this Native's deodorant is unfortunately no different. Native doesn't claim to be an antiperspirant, so I can't really judge them on that, but I don't find that this does particularly well in preventing odor either. I appreciate the unique scents – I have Ginger Lemonade Cupcake – and for me it does well enough during cooler weather. But I prefer other products during the summer. All that said, they have great scents and I trust them to create good products. I am interested in trying some of the other body care products from them.

I'm not sure if it's possible to make a "natural" antiperspirant, but that's what I would like to see.

The product did not give me the duration of coverage that my old deodorant did.
Feedback
A more vibrant scent may help with the appeal.
I really wanted to love this product and understand that natural deodorants are different from what I would typically buy but I swear this just slid right off. I would need to reapply every hour to even get rid of any smell. If you don't mind that, I do think the scents were really nice.
Feedback
Longer lasting effectiveness
Tried the deodorant and broke out in hives
Feedback
different formulation
No a fan of natural deodorant. It does not leave you smelling pleasant
Feedback
Improving the scent
I think the scents are very lovely and subtle (read: won’t mess with your fragrances). The sensitive formula is nice and not irritating (my skin doesn’t love baking soda) but I don’t love how often I need to reapply during warmer months.
Feedback
Perhaps a more emollient/grippy/glidey texture would help with longevity?
The only natural deodorant I use. I’ve never experienced B.O while using this product and for me the protection lasts all day, through work and the gym
Feedback
I think it’s great as is!
This does not work if you are a heavy sweater! Not only does this not stop the sweat, the smell of the fragrance is not strong enough to cover up your BO.
Feedback
Make a product that actually can stop sweating or cover up natural odor
Love that it’s natural, many scent options, and available at store near me. But the consistency is not for me. It irritates my armpits.
Feedback
Smoother texture.
Works poorly

Great scents. The deodorant burned my armpits slightly so I had to discontinue using it. Love the hair conditioner!
The only deodorant I use. The standard kind of deodorant make my armpits itchy, so I had to switch to an aluminum free version. I felt like other aluminum free versions didn't always do the job for me, so Native has been my go-to. I love their scent selection. I've gone through at least 3 different scents. I also saw that they recently came out with plastic free packaging, which is pretty cool. I get mines at Target.

Native had an okay smell but didn't last long and was a bit expensive.

I know their deodorant is quite controversial but, I really love it! It works for me personally and it's nice knowing that the ingredients in it is beneficial for my skin.
native was the only natural deodorant that worked for me for awhile, and then i had to switch scents due to an allergic reaction. that’s when i figured out that some scents work really well while others don’t work at all. they also often leave a pretty tough-to-remove residue on bras and tighter shirts, and white fabric is easily discolored by it.
Feedback
i wish all the scents worked equally as well, but the consistency is what i think should be worked on first
