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.

  • Personally, I use native as my every day deodorant, and it definitely works for me. But deodorant is such a personal thing that the formula may not be strong enough to withstand everyone’s natural body odor. I love it because I have sensitive skin and this one doesn’t irritate me. It might require some reapplying on extra active days, but the scents are always great. My favorite is mistletoe.

  • Love this brand but be very prepared to reapply every 2-3 hours if you sweat normally.

  • My favourite deodorant so far

  • Only deodorant that I’ll use. I like the available scents, and I don’t feel stinky after a sweaty session at the gym or running around town all day.

  • i tend to have very sensitive skin ,and i have been having a hard time getting products that are gentle for my skin but since i started using the native skincare products , i have been feeling so good, no redness on my face, no more acne and no more itchyness. thank you so much for this skincare brand , i dont know what i would do without .

    I just bought it
  • Love the scents available. Wanted to try a more natural product without any "metals" to see if there would be any difference. I like how it feels and it doesn't battle with lotion or have that odd coating or film like with secret or degree. It does start to make me smell odd after using it for a while so I switch with other brands often in a rotation.

  • It worked, but the smell was more artificial than I'd like.

  • Love using Native since it doesn’t have any harsh chemicals or anything. Native is by far the best natural deodorant I’ve tried. Downside is some days I really do need to reapply midday, but overall I like it

  • I think it's a little pricey. It's okay if a product but it doesn't work as good as a cheaper stuff.

  • I love native makes me feel so fresh and clean!

    Received a free product from Native
  • My favorite deodorant! I was terrified of giving up antiperspirant, until I tried Nativ. It’s non irritating and there are tons of scents to choose from! Can’t wait to try the body wash.

  • The sugar cookie deodorant smells so good and lasts for a while!

  • I have been using Native Deodorant for over three months now and it is the best! My skin under my arms is easily irritated by other deodorant products but, Native is a complete game changer! Not only does it smell amazing and lasts all day, it helps my skin feel soft under my arms. I would definitely recommend all of natives deodorants.

  • I wanted to love this, but it gave me a horrible rash that lasted for a month. The coconut scent is to die for, and it glides on nicely. Unfortunately, that is all I can say. That was an unpleasant experience.

    Purchased at store
  • I used in 2018 & 2019 but eventually had move on after having a reaction to the baking soda in the product. I enjoyed using the product until the reaction. Did a good job of masking odors (in the Las Vegas heat of summer) and was convenient and easy to apply. I liked a few of their scents but my favorite was the geranium scent, with rose and lavender in 2nd.

  • I wanted to love and use this ‘natural’ deodorant I seen commercial of it everywhere; but after your or so I would start to stink and would sweat even more

  • Tried this when they were first launching and loved it but there were limited scents. Now the only problem (apart from the cost) is finding it stocked in my local Target. My teenage son said he wanted to switch to Native because of it's natural ingredients after he watched a video explaining all the bad chemicals in regular body care products.

  • Thought I would benefit from an all natural body wash and deodorant product but this just didn’t work for me. Only serves to cover up any body order and for some reason made me a bit itchy in the arm pits.

  • I have been using this brand for a couple of years and I love it!

  • I am not impressed by this product. I have incredibly sensitive skin, and I was hoping that the clean ingredients in these products would be good for my skin. Unfortunately, while the product smells good, I don’t feel clean after using it. My scalp acne has been awful since switching to Native’s shampoo, and that’s even while washing my hair a second time with anti-dandruff shampoo. The conditioner does leave my hair smelling great though. The body wash smells very potent, but does not leave my skin feeling clean or refreshed. I have more blocked pores all over my body, and my skin is dry and itchy, even after using lotion. And it’s not just because its December. I just used the sensitive skin facial care set, and I don’t like it at all. The facial cleanser stung, and my skin felt INCREDIBLY hot after applying the moisturizer. If it’s supposed to be good for sensitive skin, then why does it feel harsh? The skin care products also did not leave my skin feeling refreshed or really clean at all. Honestly, if I felt CLEAN after using these products, it would be an entirely different story.
