  • Refined, memorable fragrances

  • Inconsistent odor longevity
  • Occasional white residue transfer

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.

  • Definitely the best natural deodorant out of the 6 or so brands that I've tried. I just love the coconut vanilla smell. I havent tried any of their other products.

    Feedback

    Selling it in more stores and I think the actual deodorant block breaks really easily if you turn it too much

  • I've tried A LOT of natural deodorants and I think Native is my favorite. It has a great scent and is very easy to use.

    Feedback

    More sustainable packaging (it has started eco-friendly packaging but I have not tried that product).

  • Ótimo pra quem busca por produtos naturais que não agridem nosso corpo.

  • I have been using Native Shampoo ever since I saw people talking/recommending it on social media. I was looking for a shampoo that wasn’t too strong or had any harmful chemicals. I stumbled into a post where someone was talking about how Native was a good choice for shampoo. I was intrigued and decided to give it a try. I got myself a bottle from Target and picked the Coconut & Vanilla scent. Native shampoo is made out with natural ingredients and is meant to clean your hair in a gentle/smoothing way. It doesn’t have things such as sulfates or parabens which can cause your scalp to dry or itch. The product comes in a simple, clean white looking bottle and is super easy to use. I’ve probably been using this product for around 10-11 months now. If I had to say something good about Native Shampoo is that it has natural ingredients not like some other shampoos. It comes with no sulfate, paraben, or any strong chemicals that can be bad for your hair or scalp. This could be very helpful for a person who has sensitive skin or dry hair. In my personal experience, when I started using this I was able to tell that my scalp wouldn’t feel itchy anymore, and my hair felt even more soft and clean. The Coconut & Vanilla scent is very light and sweet, making it not too strong. My hair was able to smell nice all day. One last thing I could say is about the bottle. At first I didn’t realize but the more I bought them I was able to realize that the bottle is made from recycled plastic, which is way better for the environment. Also the design looks simple and clean, making it look nice in the shower. Something I really like about this brand is that it talks about being eco friendly, indicating they care about our planet. Even though there are many great things about the product, there are some things that could be improved on in my opinion. The first thing would be the pricing. Native Shampoo costs more than your regular shampoo that you can buy at the store. Just one bottle of shampoo can cost you around $10 and $12. This could only be a reason why some people wouldn’t buy it since it’s too expensive. Another thing would be the bubbles/foam. Most people are used to their shampoo to lather a lot, and when it doesn’t they might think it doesn’t work and throw it away. It might feel weird at first but over time you get used to it. Overall, I think Native Shampoo is a great product for people who want a more natural and smoothing way to wash their hair. It’s great for your scalp, smells so good, and is better for the environment. I would give it an A- because even though it has great ingredients and has a good smell it’s a bit pricey, but you are paying for better ingredients and a product that won't cause problems to your hair. So that’s my reasoning on why it deserves an A-. In conclusion, probably the most important part about this is that Native Shampoo works well and makes your hair feel fresh and clean. It's probably one of the safeties and healthy choices if you care about what goes in your hair products. So for my final grade I would have to give it an A-. Not perfect but yet still has much better ingredients than many shampoos. I would highly recommend it to friends and family who want to try a more safe and natural shampoo.

  • Unfortunately this doesn’t keep the smell away for me. It’s very expensive and doesn’t work as well as other natural deodorants. I wanted to like it a lot more, but i smell bad a couple hours in unfortunately

  • This deodorant is on the expensive side. However I do believe it is worth the price because of the ingredients used in these. They have various scents as well. Long last smell when I use.

  • This deodorant smells good and is also gentle on my skin. It lasts all day as well.

  • I love the scents! I have sensitive skin and I’ve never had a problem with their body wash. I am always left feeling clean and moisturized after using the body wash. I love the style of the packaging as well, it looks so pretty in my shower!

  • Native was the first deodorant brand I used when making a switch to all natural beauty products. I loved their scents (got a three pack variety) but while they worked well at first I soon found myself acclimated to them and them no longer working. I have switched to other brands that have not posed this issue.

  • I’ve been using native for yearsssss and they never disappoint. They are so on top of the seasonal scent releases. Love their body wash, the deodorants work (even with their clean ingredients!) and I like pairing my deodorant with the body sprays they sell. Their sugar cookie scent is my favorite

  • Smells great and works!

  • Great deodorant! Really does the job! So many great fragrances. I personally have and use the following: Oat Milk Latte, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Cucumber & Mint, Citrus & Musk, Earl Grey Tea, and 3 or 4 others I can't remember off the top of my head. All are delightful. I try to use one to coordinate with my body wash, cologne and body cream.👍

  • I like the mission and concept, but the products are mediocre and a bit overpriced in my opinion. I so desperately wanted to love the deodorant, especially being aluminum free, but it is hard as a rock and does not glide on well, and I had a reaction from it where I was constantly itchy. Some of their body washes smell good, but I'm not a fan of the cap on the bottle, as it's so hard to open when in the shower

  • Bought their deodorant cream and had an awful experience. It is ineffective and gives burns if you apply it and go out immediately. Not to mention don't understand how it is different than my moisturiser.

  • I like their body wash but their deodorant turns my white shirts underarm area yellow. I will not use the deodorant any longer but will continue to use the body wash. I do think the body wash causes my teenage daughter to get acne-like bumps on her arms though so maybe not for sensitive skin?

  • Love everything about this product. EVEEEEERY THING!!!🥰.It makes you ferl amazingly clean all over. Product sells ut self love the shower wash , Deodorant . And toothpaste.

  • Funky chemical smell once wet. Smelled great in the bottle but got very wierd once the product was wet. Hard to rinse off as well.

  • Never white sunblock despite the high spf and mineral content. I’ve recommended to several people. Love that it is good for kids and me, and no scent.

  • I have been using Native forever, I love the scents and the ingredients are easy on my skin. It doesn't do much for perspiration but at least I smell good.

  • I absolutely love native brand. I love anything they make. I am always left feeling clean and fresh. I love the vanilla scent the most.
