Native reviews and discussion

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.

The only deodorant I'll use. I've tried other natural deodorants and they all cause irritation under my arm. This one smells great and works.

This is the only deodorant we use. My husband and I have developed a strong sensitivity to most drugstore brands and this is the only brand that works for us. The emails are funny, and the scents are lovely. Plus, it’s more affordable with a subscription

Yet another natural deodorant that doesn’t do anything unfortunately. Cute packaging and I appreciate how accessible non-aluminum deodorant has become, but at the end of the day it’s still ineffective. Try an AHA based one instead.

Really good

Prefer Schmidts deodorant. Native was pricey and did not last more than an hour. In had to keep applying regularly throughout the day.

I love Native's body soap and aluminum free deodorant. The soaps have such unique smells that cater to anyone's personal preference. The deodorant is honestly better than another other deodorant I've used. It manages to keep my pits fresh all while using healthy and clean ingredients!

Great scents. Works okay. Needs to be reapplied throughout the day.

It worked for awhile, it smelt good and lasted long, but then towards the end of my day it would be gone and I had to re-apply. I felt like after I was using it for a while my armpits were MORE sweaty later in the day :(. Now I alternate wearing it with other deodorants or just use it if I need to re-apply after the gym or something.

Love the scents I have tried and the amount of options available, but wish they lasted longer.

I’ve been using Native for years now, back when you had to order it through their website, long before you could buy it at Target. I tried a bunch of different things before I found Native, mostly all natural deodorants that smelled nice but didn’t do a very good job when things got sweaty. Native is all I use now and it works great, not to mention a variety of awesome scents many of which change seasonally to add a bit of variety to the daily routine. I usually buy the combo packs which come with three different scents. The only bad thing I can say is I’ve tried some of their cardboard packaging, I love the idea but it’s not super practical, a bit difficult to get the last bit of the product and tends to slide back down when you go to apply it, but their normal packaging is totally fine. Also they have some newer candy scented body wash that smells ridiculously delicious, not something that I use myself but I bought some for my girlfriend and all I can say is nom nom.

I really enjoy this deodorant. I've tried several natural brand deodorants without success and this one not only smells great, but works well. It is a little on the pricey side.

Ok so the smell I got was eucalyptus, after 2 months I ended up HATING the smell because it actually triggered sweaty and smelly armpits for me (which I had never had before). So the eucalyptus would end up mixing with smelly armpits and now I associate the smell. HOWEVER - It's my understanding it takes time to adjust, there's a whole explanation on their site and marketing materials and reviews but for me it was just a no, it gave me no benefits other than using clean ingredients I suppose, but the problems it caused outweighed the benefits. As to my skin, I also didn't see any major improvements, maybe it looked a little bit clearer but nothing drastic. I used this product for over 3 months and ended up returning to my normal brand. I've had friends try it and help them but I think this product is just a VERY personal journey for everyone. Would recommend if someone is looking for a cleaner deodorant alternative because they do have really good smelling deodorants, just did not work for me.

I keep coming back to Native's body wash because of the amazing scent selections and foaming consistency. My sister loves their deodorant. I purchase at Target which has an enormous amount of choices-some hidden in the men's isle so don't miss out. Native has unique holiday scents too. A must try!!! Simple white packaging which I appreciate. Price is a little higher on average, but more product & goes a long way.

I have tried a couple of different scents of the deodorant and was surprised at how much I liked it. I have sensitive skin, and sometimes (but not always!) baking soda deodorant causes irritation for me, so the sensitive line is a godsend. That said, certain scents seem to work better than others. I can make it through a normal workday just fine with Sea Salt & Cedar solid; but the one I'm using now (one of the Sandalwoods, I think) fades by midday. This deodorant is ticking a lot of boxes, though: aluminum free, sensitive option, cardboard package (but not in sensitive? c'mon son); I'm inclined to keep using it since I've yet to have a bad reaction to it. I can always reapply, right?

Native is my go to for deodorant! The lavender scent is my favorite. It’s long lasting and doesn’t irritate your skin! Love these products!
