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.

  • Love how light and fresh this feels definitely recommend and last long for me!

  • I got the sampler pack, I'm a fan of the scents. They all smell amazing! I found it works best after I've dried off after a shower

  • I love Native’s body wash, so I bought the deodorant with high hopes. Sadly they were never met because of how horrendous the product is. You have to constantly apply the deodorant over and over again. I love how many smells they offer and how well you can smell them. It’s just that they don’t last AT ALL. I thought it was other people smelling, BUT JT WAS ME. I wish the product would be stronger and longer lasting because I love the brand so much (just not the deodorant). I beg of you if you want to try Native, try their shampoo/conditioner or body wash. Stay away from the deodorants.

  • Deodorant wasn't as strong as I would have liked.

  • It is upscale produce Naturel and comfort use

  • Loved these super small compact deodorant. They fit perfectly in my bag for use on the go and work very well. I put these in my lids backpack for school just in case they need them.

    None.
  • My go to deodorant ever since trying it out couple years back. Will never not be using native.

  • Great range of scents and work well. I don’t like that some of the deodorant cause some itchy reactions but I think that is a person irritation to the ingredients. The others in the house don’t get the same reactions. We love their shampoo and conditioner.

  • Love this brand! Kept me smelling fresh all day.

  • Great smell no I’ll effects

  • I have been trying to get into more natural products. I like how this isn’t have any harsh chemicals. I will say as a person I don’t have a lot of BO so I enjoy using this product. However, if you are very sweaty, I think this product would not work too well on you. It is very light in scent and refreshing. I would like to try more of their products, but I think they are bit expensive. I am hoping that they make it more affordable.

  • It's alright for a natural deodorant. I was extremely interested because I was reading so many positive reviews of different people who are in love with this deodorant especially the scent! I found the scent a tad underwhelming and the staying power wasn't as strong as I like, in the least. I felt like the product kinda left me with a feeling of disappointed. I'm talking this was starting from the initial application of the product and I could already tell the product wasn't effectively applying onto my skin. I could feel it. It just wasn't going to be enough. Especially when I tried this out on a pretty hot and humid afternoon while being fairly active out in the sunshine. I don't feel like this deodorant left enough of an impact for me to buy it again and the same goes for recommending.

  • I found this to not go on smooth. Was very dry

  • Love this brand this is the only deodorant and shampoo and conditioner my boys and grandsons will use. Although it is somewhat pricey it works very well for stinky boys the smells are great and keep them smelling good all day long

  • I use there deodorant and wow has change my life to go to a natural deodorant! Also there body wash smells amazind.

  • Honestly it was a refreshing scent to its long- lasting protection, it is truly a remarkable product! The scent was subtle, not overpowering, and stayed throughout the day, even during strenuous activities. Plus it doesn’t leave any residue or stickiness behind. Overall I highly recommend to anyone looking for a low maintenance and protective deodorant! Definitely has become a staple in my daily routine!

  • As someone who is allergic to 95% of all deodorants, it is lovely to be able to pick up any scent of native deodorants and know what I won’t have an allergic reaction happening on my skin

  • I have a sensitive scalp and sensitive underarms, so it’s hard to find products that both work well, smell good, and cause me no issues. I was able to use some of the scents with no issue, but some of the “sugary” or stronger fruity scents are hard to take and also caused an adverse reaction. Keeping to the earthier scents seemed to be fine. I do like that they have no parabens, and it was nice to have a few more options in the hair and skin care section. I give them a low rating however as not only does it seem some of their environmentally friendly claims are apparently false, their quality is inconsistent. I will likely not be purchasing their products again after I finish out my current bottles.

  • Do not use this product u bought the hair was, leave in conditioner and the body wash after a week of using the hair wash my hair started falling out and not just in small pieces either… definitely not happy will never buy this product again. My friend bought the same stuff as me and her hair started falling out around the same time mine did

  • Great product that actually works, smells good and is good for your skin.
