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.

  • 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.

  • My order has been awaiting for pick up for two weeks now and the delivery keeps getting pushed each day. I tried reaching out to customer service, however they couldn’t help.

  • Great for people with any skin sensitivity. Doesn't last all day.

  • I love the scent and Love the mission attached to this product. this is a brand that makes me feel confident about using it, without having to worry about the ingredients going into my skin.

  • Awesome product especially for those of us that are strictly anti-aluminum. I prefer their ozone-friendly spray products but as soon as the bottle gets low it does leak and struggle to spray. All the same, the scent is non-synthetic and I am an appreciative hippie!

  • Great smelling products that work well!
