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.

  • Not overly impressed with this product. Didn’t work as expected. There are other products in this space that have a better (lighter fragrance) and provides better coverage throughout the day.

  • Native is one of the only natural deodorants that actually works for me. I love it and always chose it at the stoee

  • I loved the smell. Very fragrant But unfortunately for me, it irritated my armpit. I was having a burning sensation and red patches. Made the skin itchy

  • I’ve used the body wash and deodorant . Great fragrances with clean simple attractive packaging

  • I had high hopes for this deodorant, I was intrigued by the ingredients and fragrances offered. After using 2 of their deodorants fully, I don’t think I will be purchasing again. Simply because the scent doesn’t last long which meant that I had to keep reapplying at least twice a day.

  • Love it so does my daughter. Keeps us dry and never smelly.

  • I've tried numerous scents of Native bodywash. It lathers perfectly with a bath pouf. It seems to last longer than typical bodywash because it seems that I don't need to use as much. I wish they had a larger selection of scents but, I do appreciate the limited seasonal additions.

  • I switched to Native natural deoderant more than 5 years ago. Love that it is aluminum free and it’s effective despite living in the desert (Arizona)! My husband also uses this brand.

  • Personally the Native Deodorant did not work well for me. I found I was smelly and sweaty within the first hour of it being on me. I have heard it’s good once you detox your pits from aluminum deodorant but I just couldn’t take the sweat and smelliness haha!

  • This deodorant really helps with perspiration and the different scents are great with not being too strong of a scent . I love this!!!

  • Perfect solustion. I cant breathe when i use spray deodorant, this is by far the best sulotion!

  • The ONLY natural deodrant that works and I've tried them ALL.

  • I enjoy using Native deodorant but this is not an item I would recommend for people who sweat a lot or have existing issues with body odor. Because this is a natural deodorant it doesn't have any antiperspirant properties. Native all around is a good brand and I have been using them for over a year.

  • I like this all natural deodorant. It works really well and there products are clean!

  • my partner had it but he find it is not strong enough for him. But for me I used it but is okay i am a light sweater after all. it is alright if u are light sweater. smell is not strng . my partner and i have sensitive skin but it didnt irritate us at all.

  • Smells great and goes on smooth but seems to wear out mid-day (at least it did for me). But I still wear it from time to time when I’m at home. Although I perspire faster with this than I would with an antiperspirant deodorant.

  • Love the natural ingredients and omg the smells! Sugar cookie is my fave!

  • As someone with wavy hair, I've been loving their Coconut Milk & Turmeric Curl Care Shampoo and Conditioner, I believe it's helped bring out the waves more in my hair and it lasts a long while.

  • Best deodorant I've found, good for your skin, great smelling, and lasts a while. Worth the money!
