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.

  • Native Deodorant is simply the best natural deodorant I have found my sensitive skin. The scents are delicious and smell fresh. I really prefer the cardboard tube of the deodorant as we need less plastic in this world.

  • Wasnt able to hold up to my workouts. But normal activity for good.

  • I have very frizzy and curly hair that is very sensitive to hair products. Their coconut & vanilla conditioner is just the perfect amount of moisturizing, it never leaves my hair too oily or too dry! It has an amazing smell that isn’t too strong yet keeps your hair smelling fresh for days!

  • I have tried the body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, and they were all great. The scents were pleasant, and the products were gentle and effective. I love that they are minimalist, uncomplicated, clean products that are affordable.

  • I love that this product comes in an array of scents, and I also appreciate that they make those scents in a variety of sizes so I can carry one around in my work bag. I've never really noticed any residue left behind, but it is definitely not an antiperspirant. Great for refreshing what you may already be wearing, but not great to be your only odor protection.

  • The smell is amazing & leaves my hair so soft!!

  • Love the smells and that you can customize your own deodorant for what you need! The deodorant wasn’t great at hiding my B.O. though. I found myself needing to re-apply which you can’t always do when you’re out and about. They also have hair products that left my hair feeling super soft and nice, but it quickly got oily so I had to stop using it.

  • This brand makes the most amazing scents through all products and manages to stay healthy and sleek. All of these deodorants are affordable too!

  • Been a loyal Native deodorant gal for 5 years now & I won't go back. Unfortunately, I have to stick to the plastic container product as I gave their paper packaging a try once and was very disappointed. But other than that, I'm a lifer.

  • So far the only deodorant that doesn't make me itch, however I still sweat heavily. The smells are amazing.

  • Stronger smelling than I would prefer

  • I've tried a lot of these natural deodorants. I will say that Native has some of the nicer scents, but this brand does tend to irritate my arm and definitely does not hold up in a HIIT workout. Wish the smell lasted longer and fought oder during a gym sesh.

  • I enjoyed the smell while putting it on but it did not prevent the sweating from smelling through out my work day and into my work out at the gym.

  • I began using Native deodorant because I was experiencing allergic reactions to other brands. After seeing several TikToks with positive reviews, I decided to give it a try, and it did help with my allergies. However, I've noticed that the scent doesn't last very long, so I find myself carrying a travel-sized version and reapplying it every 4 hours.

  • I love the native body wash! I have at least 15 of the vanilla that they discontinued. I really like the deodorant, but I live in Florida and I need anti-perspirant plus deodorant. So I really just use it in the winter time. There’s cents are wonderful and I’ve been a customer for about four years now

  • great product. love the smell!

  • Other deodorants make me itchy, and other natural deodorants didn't work well for me. I like the coconut vanilla the most and although I may have to reapply on some days its still my favorite. I even got my boyfriend to start using this brand.

  • love all the natural ingredients and is very very healthy for your skin. Way better than all the crap in stores nowadays Native is the way top go period, I use them for hair, body, face, crack, and pits

    Invested in Native
  • I actually really enjoy using native! Thankfully since I have sensitive skin, I can really only use certain deodorants that have aluminum, but I discovered native and did some research and found out they don't. I have been using native for at least a year now and my skin has never smelled and felt better.
