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.

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

Love the body wash, didn’t love the deodorant! They have nice combinations of smells but the deodorant was meh and left a good amount of white cast. Natural deodorant is tricky but I much prefer Live Clean!

Their deodorant didn’t work for me. I have sensitive skin and ended up with a rash. When I tried their sensitive skin version it didn’t do much to reduce odor.

Best natural deodorant I have tried. I used the coconut lime scent and it was great for daily use but it didn’t stand up to really hot days or workouts.
Feedback
Great for those looking for a natural deodorant. Would love more scent options. Was very expensive compared to other deodorants.
I liked the packaging and the smell! Protection-wise, not really good but I'm guessing definitely okay for the rest of the public since I have hyperhidrosis (I sweat a lot lol). I prefer bar deodorants over any other presentation and I liked the consistency of this one.
Feedback
Maybe a stronger anti-sweat formula would be nice

Native was my first natural deodorant that I liked and continued to purchase. The light scents and application similar to the mainstream brand is what caught me initially, but after use I found that this deodorant really does work and it works for a decent amount of hours. I would say this deodorant lasts a strong half of the day. Reapplication may be needed if you're doing an intense physical activity.
Feedback
The only downside to this deodorant is the paste-like consistency. I don't love it. Sometimes it leaves white marks on my clothes (that wash out) but during the summer I don't necessarily want to be walking around with white marks on my black tank tops.
I've only tried the deodorant and it gave me the most awful rash
Great smells and really great at breaking out into regular consumers with aluminum free.
Feedback
They just didn’t cover for long enough for me. I had to reapply two or three times a day

I’ve tried many natural deoderants, and while I loved the scent of the few sticks I tried, I unfortunately developed a large rash under my arms that left me in pain for most of the day while wearing these deoderants. The body wash is one of my favourites and it’s a staple in my shower.
Feedback
I would like to see a larger variety of formulas, it seems a lot of natural deodorants use the same ingredients which makes it difficult for people with sensitive arms to use.
I have the sunscreen. It's alright, it leaves a white overcast which I feel like a lot of the large sunscreen companies are able to overcome, but maybe because this product is suppose to not have the ingredients that are linked to cancer?
Feedback
White overcast for sunscreen & price

I love this deodorant. The scents are nice and not overpowering. Normally, I switch back and forth between natural deodorants because they stop working after a few weeks. However, I've been using Native for 6 months and we're still going strong!
Feedback
I love the idea of refills to not waste as much packaging. I'm not sure if they do that or not.
This product is the worst & I've tried every single scent, hoping to find a natural deodorant that works for me (including the sensitive skin option). I developed a crazy rash that wouldn't go away for months & never would've thought it was due to a "natural" product. The second I stopped using it, my rash went away almost immediately.
Smells great, not convinced it's a repeat product.
I think this is a great product. I always had difficulty staying dry and smell free, this does the trick!
This product was just okay for me - definitely did not feel like it worked well consistently.

Wish that there wasn’t synthetic fragrance
