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
I love Native because it actually works without being an antiperspirant and it's aluminum free. It also has great scents! I love a brand that offers woodsy smells, as opposed to overly sweet/flowery ones. I'm not trying to smell like an Avon lady. Also, I know that Native has begun offering some of its scents in plastic-free containers. I hope they continue to expand this option in all of the different scents, as I'm trying to stay as sustainable as possible.

I wish it didn't leave as much residue as it does. I have to be very conscious about putting my shirt on first, otherwise, I get white streaks on the sides. Also, it can be out of price range for many folks, as it is more expensive than most brands.
I use the body wash and the deodorant. I am obsessed with the deodorant and have probably gone through four sticks. I use the one in paper packaging and they recently changed the design to make it even better. It is the only natural deodorant that doesn't make me smell horrid. The body wash makes me feel clean and smells nice. I did use the shampoo for a while but it made my hair look greasy, I think due to the reason it did not wash out as well as others. It smelled great though.

Change shampoo formulation. Leaves strange Residue
I truly love Native’s mission! Also, the packaging is so cute. I’ve tried so many different scents and my fav by far is Eucalyptus! I find this scent works the best to really cover the odor smell.
Feedback
After a long day, I don’t always smell the best /: and reapplying doesn’t do the trick. Longer lasting results would be helpful!!
I used the deodorant. I really like the orange musky flavor, smells so good. But after a month I started smelling again, which is a bummer but might be a me problem bc this happens to all the natural deodorants I use

Make it last longer?
Great product and customer service, fast shipping and a great alternative to traditional deodorant brands.
Ummm the deodorant smells good (I like the variety of unique scents) at first but it also doesn't really work... Like at all. Also leaves a white residue that is just not appealing to me. But everyone has their personal preferences with deodorant so I guess worth a try if you're looking for natural?
Does not work! I tried them several times and but it never works - I'm not sure who this is working for?
Feedback
maybe aluminum isnt that bad for us? lol because smelling bad definitely is
After learning about the harmful ingredients in our everyday deodorants and the ones that I had been using for years, I was on the hunt for a natural deodorant that not only smelled good and worked well, but was also good for my body. I heard about Native and decided to give it a try. I thought that the smell of it was good, but after putting it on, I thought that it was too rough and scratchy on my skin, leaving me with a bit of a rash underneath my armpits. I had to stop using it unfortunately, but I did decide to try out the shower gels and give them a chance to which I was pleasantly surprised and happy with my purchase. The smell was great and I will continue to purchase the shower gels.
Feedback
I think that the formula needs to somehow be improved to where it is not as scratchy on your armpits.
I switched up from other deodorants to see if this would keep me dry and fresh. Two weeks in and it is working good so far. Also the mint one smells great
Love the scents, but fades throughout the day. Have to reapply in order to not stink.

I tried Native after hearing so many raving reviews about it. I love the scents that they offer and the fact that it's all natural and cruelty-free. Unfortunately it doesn't hold up against summer heat and high temps, but for colder months it does the trick. It also tends to leave a white cast on dark clothing, and like many other stick deodorants, the product looks kind of gross and hard to use once you get to the bottom of it.
Feedback
It would be amazing if Native offered a spray-on product instead of the stick. Once you reach the end of the stick it starts to look kind of gross and it's hard to use, which means it ends up going to waste. It would also be nice to have a gel deodorant or something that doesn't transfer on dark clothing.
The smell of their products are great and I do enjoy their body wash although I think it is priced a little high. Their deodorant just doesn’t work well and I’ve never felt confident wearing it to workout or if I am going to be gone all day and can’t reapply.
Feedback
The price is high and the product does not last long on the body. I think improvement can be made by making the product last longer.
Good, clean deodorants.
Feedback
Would love more range in scents!
I love the range of scents for Native. Good smelling without being so overpowering. However, the deodorant is hard to apply when it’s hot outside- it becomes very thick and hard to apply a thin layer.
Great packaging but didn't really work for me sadly. I feel like if anything it created body odor.
Smells great, doesn’t work well with body odors.
Feedback
Pricing is expensive for an OK product.
I live their body wash but find that the deodorant doesn’t work super well.
Feedback
the deodorant needs to be stronger!

The deodorant didn't work for me, personally. But I appreciate the ingredient list. I have actually switched over to using glycolic acid as a deodorant (started with The Ordinary just because I had it on hand) and that has worked the best for me!
Great range of scents and actually works well for a natural deodorant, as someone who used to rely on heavy chemical deodorants.
Feedback
A spray-on, natural anti-perspirant would complete the experience!
I bought and used two full Native deodorants last year and while I had no problems with the effectiveness of the product in terms of body odor and sweat, my armpits were increasingly getting darker and darker! I decided to buy it again just to see if it was an issue with the first stick, but, I could tell it was just the way this deo is formulated. I decided to Google around and see if other POCs were having the same problem and I saw other people of color also saying it stained their pits and left dark marks. I will not use this is deo again.
Feedback
Figure out why this formula is staining armpits for some people of color? I think this is a common problem for some natural deos but I've found other natural deos that have not effected my pits like Native did.
