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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Not a fan of the deodorant. I bought vanilla cupcake and the consistency was gritty when I put it on!
Feedback
Gritty consistency
I enjoy using Native deodorant as an alternative to Arm And Hammer aluminum-free deodorant. Native has a wider selection of scents and I like that there are minimal ingredients. The only difference between the formulas is native deodorant contains magnesium hydroxide, but both deodorants roll on smoothly.
Feedback
I love their eco-friendly packaging for some of the deodorants they sell. I like that they have formulas for sensitive skin as well.
Their deodorants have always worked for me, and I appreciate that they have a plastic free option for their product.
So hard to Find a good organic deodorant. This one is just okay

I really like Native - but only particular scents. I also find that I can't use it for more than 6 months at a time otherwise it loses it's potency.
Feedback
Smaller sizes but same width (so I can actually work through a deodorant before it stops working for me).
Native is my favorite brand of clean deodorant / bodycare products. That said, the deodorant is still an adjustment for those used to non-clean deodorants -- there is noticeably less coverage / long-lasting protection by comparison. Not a knock on Native, but just the reality of clean deodorant products today. Native's rose scent is AMAZING.
Native is by far my most favorite deodorant brand. I purchased my first Native 2 years ago and have been only using this brand since. Even my husband switched completely as he loves the smell and the effectiveness. It feels much healthier than most other deodorants. Their body wash has been great too and I love their simple, elegant packaging.
I feel neutral on Native. It wasn't incredibly effective for me, but I also have no strong complaints other than light residue.
Feedback
Less residue.
Native is a great alternative to traditional deodorant. Usually have great smells and works great as a deodorant.
Feedback
The feel and the appliability
Native became my go-to deodorant a few years ago. I absolutely love how effective it is. I do have to reapply maybe once or twice throughout the day, depending on how active I am but I really love this company and this product. I always keep a miniature travel size in my purse and it's saved me many times!
Feedback
If they had a formula that didn't leave so much white residue that would be a game changer.
It was ok! I liked Native for a while but then I noticed it stopped working for me. I loved it so much (the message, materials, company) but just wish it would have worked better/longer.

Might be good for others, just not me.

I purchased this at Target and I only use natural deodorant but didn't love the texture of this one.
Feedback
Texture felt chalky and didn't glide on smooth but scents were great!

I really enjoyed the long lasting aspect of the deodorant. I normally use brands like degree and old spice and this is by far better and much more worth the increased price. I got one of the smaller charcoal scented sticks to keep in my bag when at class and away from home that's come in handy already. Their body wash also has lasted me quite a while so the slight increase in cost is offset by the amount of time that it lasts me.
Feedback
I would really like maybe a smaller but not travel size of the body wash. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places. Other than that, I really like the message of the company, the branding, and y'alls packaging!
Can be quite expensive for a stick, unless you get the really small sticks you can find at target. I love their variety of scents though.
Feedback
Price could decrease, or ecofriendly packaging

It works really well for a natural deodorant. My only complaint is that if I don't manually pre-wash the armpits of my clothes before I put them in the washing machine, the oils in this will stain my clothes around the pits.
Feedback
I wish the packaging was more eco-friendly.
I tried this deodorant for about a month as an effort to reduce my cosmetic toxins. I never noticed significant BO, but I did not like the application and did not buy again.
Feedback
The feel, the smell intensity
After years of ineffective deodorants and a personal choice not to use antiperspirants, I gave Native a try and their deodorants are amazing! I don't know how it works but it somehow keeps the armpit funk away forever. With other deodorants, I start to develop BO before the end of the day but Native deodorants last even into the next day. On my skin, the Cucumber & Mint scented deodorant works best. I like that the fragrance is not too overpowering on this one either. I get occasional skin sensitivity so I've switched to their sensitive line and it works just as effectively as their normal offerings.
Feedback
I love many of the fragrances but find some can be too strong. I would love to see lighter fragrances - especially in their Sensitive line of products.
Shampoo and conditioners have great scents, work very well, worth the cost. Both pass Yuka ingredient test. Deodorants work great and smell fantastic. Very wide range of scents. Unfortunately, they do not pass the Yuka ingredient test and have ingredients that may irritate the skin.
Feedback
Improve deodorant for sensitive skin users. Ingredients of concern include ozokerite mineral oil.
the only clean deodorant that actually works! Most other make me sweat more, but this is clean and smells great!
Feedback
Would love it if you could formulate without coconut oil as that is a pore clogging ingredient :)
