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.

Personally felt think the deodorant did nothing, got like 2hrs wear out of it.
I love the smell of this deodorant but unfortunately for me it doesn’t work as well as other brands.

I feel like this deodorant doesn't preform as well as others. I love how it smells but not really how it feels. I'd love to try their bodywashes
Feedback
The consistency. It's too thick
Scents are kind of muted but pleasant. No real pro or con, the product was OK.
Feedback
No complaints.
I absolutely love the scent of these products but unfortunately, the deodorant leaves me smelling worse than if I hadn't worn any at all.
Finding a natural deodorant can be really hard, but one brand that I really like is Native! I have found that some scents are better than ever, the stronger you go, the more likely it'll work. The texture is good, too.
Feedback
It is a bit expensive for only being slightly better than competitors. Some scents aren't strong enough.

Loved the unique scents, it is what intrigued me to try in tandem with the ingredients used.

I do like the sustainability of cardboard packaging but do not like the way it uses. Thinking out loud here but I wonder if you could sell refills for a premium plastic or metal deodorant container instead. If the idea is to make less waste or compostable packaging I could use the same applicator again and again.
Native absolutely did not work me. Not only did I stink, I had a rash. I was hoping for this one to work well with my skin, but it did not.
I used it once and wasn't a fan, but have heard good things from other people. It wasn't very effective for me, and I got a little rash in my armpit from it. I did love the packaging and the smells!

More effective?
I had great initial impressions of Native. Sleek packaging, great scents, and a deodorant that rolled on nicely. I did, however, enjoy the product less as it aged. Over time, it dried out and became less comfortable to apply. The lid also started to remove bits of the deodorant and the stick changed shape, leaving little deodorant crumbles on the counter. I have not tried Native since they moved to paper packaging, and maybe this has solved some of the issues. If you are going to try it, I would recommend order a single unit to see if you have the same experience!

The product dries out over time and becomes less comfortable to apply. As big brands have released their own "natural" deodorants (e.g. Tom's) that are more comfortable to apply, I wont if Native could improve the formulation. The lid constantly cutting off some of the deodorant did become messy, and this should be improved (note: this may have been improved during the launch of paper packaging).
I realy like native! Its a natural deodorant that actually feels like its working. It also doesn’t tend to leave the white residue and holds its shape fairly well.
didn't really like the smell & wasn't for me
Feedback
nothing. maybe it just wasnt for me.
Great scents, excellent products
I am not a big fan of their deodorant. It is not really effective especially when you sweat.
I tried the coconut one and found it efficient and pleasant to wear. Liked the travel-size one.
The first 2 months of using native was fantastic! I really like the branding and used the coconut vanilla scent. However, after 2-months I started noticing that I had much stronger BO after working out and found that the deodorant was no longer working for me. This has happened with a few friends who have tried native as well.
I've tried Native a few times and sadly it just doesn't work. It smells nice, but at the end of the day, it doesn't really protect you from smelling bad later in the day.
After using this product for a few months, I started having a bad reaction to it when the weather started warming up. The scents were pleasant, but the product is expensive and I had to reapply much more frequently. If I got hot, the product didn't do enough to prevent the BO smell from mixing with the strong deodorant smell. I believe they do have a sensitive version now, but I have not tried it.

Price, effectiveness
I love the options for plastic or plastic-free packaging. Also love the seasonal scent switch-ups
Feedback
Better packaging on body wash. Difficult to squeeze
