Reviews mention

  • Sophisticated, natural-leaning fragrances
  • Clean, cruelty-free formulations
  • Comfortable, smooth application
  • Non-stripping, lathery body washes
  • Inconsistent odor protection
  • White residue and staining
  • Gritty, sticky deodorant texture
  • Can cause underarm irritation

Native earns praise in reviews for clean ingredients, refined scents (Coconut & Vanilla, Eucalyptus & Mint, Lilac & White Tea) and comfortable, non-irritating wear for many, but effectiveness is inconsistent: several reviewers report odor breakthrough, frequent reapplication, staining, and texture issues. Reviews note body wash and haircare smell fresh and lather well, while deodorant can underperform in heat or workouts and sometimes causes rashes or gritty residue.

  • 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.

  • This product is perfect

  • Love the scents they have. Personally my favourite is Vanilla coconut. Their products are made from organic ingredients and keep me smelling fresh all day

  • Desodorante cheiroso e suave , eu amei!!

  • The scents are amazing! They don't cling or stay with you. Which is my only :( as I'd love to be able to say "oh that's my Native! You should absolutely try it!"

  • I recommended my boyfriend to try this brand, but it made his scalp more dry and he had more dandruff than before. Now he’s on head and shoulders and that shampoo/conditioner works way better!

  • Although my personal experience with the shampoo is good along with the body wash and I love the scent, however with the conditioner it left my hair dry and rough for some reason I gave it enough time and although I use the shampoo I switched back to my old conditioner for the softness I know everyone is different but I won't use the conditioner only sorry

  • Will say I like the 2 in 1 shampoo because my 89 year old mother can use it without having to wash and condition separately. It takes less energy, though it looks like they may be discontinuing it. Even if they do, on the website, they promised 20% off when you sign up and never sent it. They promised 15% off if you complete their survey and never sent it. If you cannot trust them to do that, can you trust their list of ingredients or their promises about products you haven’t tried yet? Disappointed.

  • Felt nourishing for my underarms , kept me smelling clean.

  • as a person who sweats easily because of anxiety I primarily want a deodorant, anti-perspirant would be nice but i've found a lot of them do nothing and just stain my clothes. i'm willing to give on the antiperspirant part if it means i don't smell bad and my clothes aren't ruined. i also like the variety of smells that they have. i prefer the plastic packaging because the cartboard one is not as smooth to push out but that can't be helped. it goes on well and never irritates my skin.

  • The packaging is really nice and practical, and the initial scents are what sucked me into purchasing this product, but now I really only use it as an addition to my perfume and layer it with another deodorant as I’ll notice it’s not working about 2 hours in even if I’m just sitting at a desk and not actively sweating.

  • A few years ago my skin started responding really badly to regular deodorant and I was so afraid to try natural deodorant because of how people say it doesn’t work and leaves you stinky but I bought a mini native deodorant from Target and it worked so well! Id ask my family to smell my armpits well into the day and they’d say it just smelled like the deodorant. It also stopped the rashes so I swear by it now. I also love all the scent choices. I have one right now that smells like a Girl Scout cookie. Insane.

  • Their deodorants are ok, but sometimes leave residue or have off putting smells

  • I wanted to find a natural deodorant that would actually help fight the stink. I bought four different smells of native deodorant and found the smell didn’t last and it didn’t help fight the body odour. There were actually some days were I couldn’t stand the smell of myself and it seemed that the smell was worse then without any deodorant. I used it for over the three months to allow my body to get used to it and for it to start working and it never changed. I never did buy it again and still looking for a natural deodorant that actually works.

  • At first I loved everything but the deodorant didn’t work well, face wash is okay my hair feels greasy way quicker with this shampoo
