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.

  • 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

  • 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

    No
  • 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

  • Kinda hard to apply into the skin.

  • I love the coconut and vanilla scented deodorant. My husband started stealing my Native deodorant instead of using his :)

  • The fragrances are original and fresh. I purchased 8 at one time, thinking this would be my forever brand. Why it is good: no aluminum. Turns out I use them in rotation. I need the antiperspirant option.

  • I tried Native’s Natural Coconut & Vanilla Deodrant and I loved it!! First natural deodorant I used that actually works and the travel sizes are so cute! The only drawback is that it finishes off quite quickly.

    Invested in Native
  • I’ve been using Native deodorant for about a year. I was looking for a natural deodorant that wouldn’t block my pores. The scents they offer are great. I haven’t received any that I haven’t liked. It works really well. I seem to sweat less, and when I do, it smells like fruits and flowers. The price is a little high for deodorant, but I’m willing to pay it for a product I love using.
