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.

good deodorant, the sea salt scent is great

Love Native's deodorant and their conditioner. I have medicated shampoo, otherwise I would get Nature's shampoo as well! Smell is great and very gentle. I am very sensitive to smells so this is important to me. Definitely need to apply daily.
I've tried Native's shampoo & conditioner and I feel like it's a great deal. It isn't the best, like high end brands like Living Proof, but is still a clean product.
Feedback
Adding a little more moisturizer into the shampoo and conditioner to make it a smidge less drying!
I recently tried Native's SPF 30 facial sunscreen and was unfortunately let down. I was super excited to hear of their clean ingredients, but the sunscreen burned my eyes after a few minutes of wear. I even tried it the next day, only applying it to areas on my face away from my eyes, and still found that it burned after 20-30 minutes. I would be open to trying other products.
Wanted to love this brand but developed a rash after a few uses of the women’s deodorant. I do use their body wash and like the variety of scents.

Their deodorants didn’t work for me but I love their sunscreen! It’s easy to rub in and doesn’t leave a white cast. I’m glad they have an unscented version.

I enjoy their body wash. I've yet to try the deodorant.

Love the smell and the texture considering it’s a clean product, one of the better ones I’ve tried.

The only complaint I have about this product is I have to be careful with wearing white shirts. If I wear this deodorant on a hot day with a white shirt, the yellow stain is not cute.
Have used this product for the past year+ and very happy with the results. I had been getting yellow stains in my clothing for years and looked for options without aluminum that actually worked. It’s not 24/7 coverage and find in certain situation I have to re-apply, but overall extremely happy. Qualm is that if I have it on and put a top on, likely there will be white on the top.
Feedback
Wish the product didn’t bunch up under my arms and leave a white film on some of my clothing. Update: switched b/c did not last long when summer came. Found unreliable
I think the scents of these are very good, clean and original. I also love the sustainable options where they don’t use plastic, I felt I got a lot more use of of that particular line of deodorants. There are two things that hold me back: the price tag (usually between 12-15 for each sick) and they don’t always have the best wear. If I use this I tend to apply it twice through the day. Other than that I like this brand and will more than likely but it again. I also use their hair and body products.
Feedback
Focus on refining the formula for a bit more wear time, or make sure you have some direction where it may need to be used twice. Lower the prices, what is being sold can still be sold at a premium, but at 15 each for some of the scents you will find that you will begin to lose customers as more brands come out with a similar model. Start changing all of the packaging over to either reusable/compostable/sustainable packaging; one of the best things about this company is your focusing on the plant based products (I don’t even care if it’s greenwashing) but if you truly start going toward this sustainability you could keep growing your market base, lower costs, and have better PR.
Love this deodorant. The cardboard tube can get a little smushy. But everything smells and works great.

Smells really good, applies well, doesn't make my skin break out
Feedback
I know it's not an antiperspirant but I constantly have wet armpits so just something that consumers should know. Also the smell doesn't last long so this has to be reapplied multiple times a day especially if working out. Lastly the price is so expensive for deodorant
Products smell good and work for little while but then my armpits started to smell worse than if I hadn’t wore any deodorant at all.

Semi clean ingredients. The scents smell very artificial. Don't think the deodorant works well.
Love that Native is trying out more plastic free packaging and I do appreciate their scents though I wish they were more transparent about the scent sourcing. Downsides of the plastic free packaging is it can be difficult to place the cap on and off. I also don’t feel that Native deodorant lasts all day during a hot day.
Feedback
More transparency with scent sourcing and longer lasting.
Native was one the first natural deodorants I tried, after trying a few other I’ve concluded that it’s “meh” and didn’t last very long. Like most other natural deodorants it didn’t stop perspiration, and tends to leave yellow stains on clothes.
Obviously, this is a natural deodorant so it's not going to stop sweating, but often I felt like it didn't mask the odor. The positive is I never had any negative reaction to this product.
It worked well and eliminated odor but it did leave a stain on light colored clothing.
Feedback
The stains is leaves on clothes.
Great product but does have sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in it which can irritate sensitive skin.
Feedback
Make baking soda free options and compostable packaging
I started using native when my traditional deodorants were causing horrible rashes. The product was great for my sensitive skin and I love the scents. It’s good to note that these are not antiperspirants so it’s not going to do much in terms of preventing sweating. I have used their body wash and I think it’s a great basic body wash but there’s nothing super special about it, and I think some of the scents are lacking strength in body wash form.
Feedback
Improved body wash formula would be the only thing I think could be improved!
