Native reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Refined, natural-leaning fragrances
  • Gentle, sensitive-skin formulas
  • Smooth, comfortable application
  • Attractive, sustainable packaging
  • Inconsistent odor protection longevity
  • White residue and shirt staining
  • Occasional gritty, sticky texture
  • Body wash sometimes feels drying

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.

  • TRY FOR YOURSELF!! I really tried to like this brand. Love what they are striving for. I felt it did not do well for smell. I have not been able to smell my pits with other brands. For some reason, this brand does not give with my chemistry.

  • The skin feels so clean and hydrated, it is good for sensitive skin, and smells amazing.

  • As I've gotten older, I have started to care more about what goes on and in my body. I switched from being a lifelong user of Suave and Dove deodorants to Native. I live in the South and walk to work most days, so I will say that on the extremely hot humid Summer days, Native definitely does not keep me fresh all day, but I personally don't mind reapplying. I prefer the spray over the stick. I like that the brand is cruelty free and I love the scents.

  • I switched to Native deoderant when I was considering getting pregnant. I wanted to use cleaner products and expose myself to fewer chemicals. This was years ago now, and I will never go back. After a brief adjustment of a week or so (in which I could tell my body was missing the antiperspirant from my precious deoderant) it's been working perfectly ever since. I love the scents so much- and have switched my body wash to Native too, so I can have the luxurious smells in the shower as well.

  • it’s a really nice brand that makes unique scents and although the scent doesn’t last a long time after enduring heavy exercise it’s still a great product for daily use and i recommend them to anyone

  • Overall I love native’s deodorant, especially the coconut vanilla and lavender scents. The only downside is it doesn’t always keep me fresh for the entire day if I’m at work.

  • The Native brand is AWSOME! I been using it for a while now and even got some of my family members getting it! And now that I found out that they have a fluoride free toothpaste I’m going to check it out!

  • Unfortunately this is not sweaty girl approved... I found that this product just does not work for me. Though the scents are innovative they all end up smelling bad.

  • I’m hooked. This is my everyday deodorants and it’s great. I was happy to ditch the aluminum for something that smells great and keeps the BO down. Just don’t leave it in your hot car!

  • Not for me. After the detox period, deodorant still didn’t work well and the scents are not good anymore. There are better choices like Dr. Schmidt’s Magnesium and Charcoal.

  • I love the variety of scents and how accurate the scent is to what is advertised. However, the antiperspirant does not prevent sweating for me nor does it fully cover my personal odor.

    One time buyer
  • One of the best natural deodorants that I’ve tried, and there are always new or seasonal scents to choose from! I’ve used both the stick and the spray deodorants and they both work great!

  • very hit or miss- deo makes me stink two hours after applying but the body wash is relatively nice

  • Love this product

  • The body wash products are amazing! Be careful with the deodorant if you have sensitive skin!

  • Pleasant smelling body wash but it's very pricy so I can't always get it

  • Love their scents, I buy these all the time for myself and daughter. Definitely recommend them, love the grapefruit and bergamot. They apply light and not sticky which is plus and keeps me fresh.

    Paid myself
  • I love Native products! The scents are long lasting and make my skin/hair feel great.
