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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
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

I tried this for two months and it didn't work for me. I was sweating even more and had to reapply multiple times a day. However I have friends who love it, just not for me.
The best "clean" deodorant I've found. Great smelling and love the option for cardboard packaging.
Feedback
The cardboard push-up is a little tricky to use. If you don't have particularly long fingers, there is a high risk of waste. The travel size doesn't have that issue, but naturally isn't as good of a value.
The scent was nice and I like that it's aluminum-free but it did not do a good job of preventing sweat. I later learned that your body needs some time to re-adjust, but i did not know this.
Feedback
Clear instructions on how to incorporate aluminum-free deodorant into your life to help ensure users understand that your body takes a while to readjust.
As a regular athlete that uses deodorant daily, I did not notice much difference in application and wear.
Feedback
Nice scent and typical application.
Cool idea, but it doesn't really work.
Feedback
It doesn't work as deodorant. Cool packaging tho
Great deodorant! Love the scents (fig is the best). My boyfriend is also hooked on it!
Feedback
Nothing! Texture, scent, and performance are great!

I've used a few different body washes from this company and I think they do a great job. For the prices, you're getting solid stuff, but nothing extraordinary. My favorite so far has been the cucumber mint wash
Feedback
Longer lasting fragrance!

Love their deodorant
I really enjoyed the scent but it does not last very long. I needed to reapply and definitely felt like my body odor was only slightly gone.
Feedback
Longevity of wear.
Love the smell of their deos and works really well all day long
The scents are really great. My favorite is Sugar Cookie but unfortunately it's a seasonal scent!
Feedback
The deodorant gets a little rough and scratchy so it's not always the most comfortable to apply.
Native is...just alright. I'm a fan of their body wash. The scents are great (not too strong and not too light)—especially the cucumber one. It lathers solidly well. Their sunscreen is good! I definitely prefer Supergoop, but Native's is mineral-based. It's not chalky. I really don't like their natural deodorant. It doesn't work for me. It actually irritates my skin.
Feedback
Their deodorant doesn't work for me!
I have loved Native for a long time! I have tried many different natural deodorant brands and have consistently found Native to be the best. I always have a few scents at a time and like rotating through but have particularly loved the Cucumber scent.

The only natural deodorant I’ve tried that I think works- definitely takes some getting used to and need an occasional reapply but the cardboard tubes are great to bring on the go
I wanted to like this but I had such a bad reaction to their baking soda products and then would continue to sweat with the non-baking soda products.

Not a fan of this product at all. I found the deodorant to be VERY sticky and it did not work well.
Feedback
Re-formulate to be less sticky and more effective.
