Native Natural Deodorant

Another reviewer claimed the deodorant can last up to three days without reapplication. I can confirm this. Even after a three hour bike ride I didn't have strong underarm odor. I also have not noticed that it leaves marks on clothes (and I exclusively wear dark colors). I've been looking for a quality natural deodorant since Alaffia stopped making their coco-care charcoal ones. I didn't get the charcoal one of Native, however, as I was scared it would be too perfumey. But I can say that the lavender and rose one smells exactly like lavender essential oil with a hint of rose essential oil and nothing more. It's not a fake cloying floral smell. But the (natural) smell does linger, which I like. Another reviewer complained that it smelled astringent and like pinesol, but I reckon they've never actually smelled real lavender essential oil and expected the awful fake smell. I'm now less scared to try the other scents.

I've been using this product for 2 years and it works as stated. I have sensitive skin and this doesn't irritate my skin at all. Every so often, I've asked those close to me if they've noticed any odors over the past two years and they've always replied no. I've used other brands previously that were specifically labeled as "gentle" or for "sensitive skin", which were anything but. Those were also HIGHLY scented and irritated my skin, unlike this product which is very effective without all the unnecessary chemical additives. I feel the coconut oil has soothing properties and it actually helps keep my underarm skin healthy instead of making it parched, like other brands do. This product doesn't state that it's for sensitive skin but for me it's far more gentle than any other brand I've used. I also like that it doesn't contain any harsh anti-perspirants so my body can breathe and cool itself off properly through the natural act of sweating. The act of sweating releases toxins through your skin pores so it's not healthy to impede that process. This product supports that natural process by not containing any anti-perspirant chemicals. Although it's labeled as unscented, science will tell you that everything in the world has a scent (even water) and this product has a very minimal wisp of a scent that's nearly imperceptible. Manufacturer's usually refer to this as a 'masking scent' so you don't notice the smell of chemicals in a product. However, this product has minimal chemicals (that's why I chose it) so there's not much to cover up and that's a good thing! Neither I, nor anyone else that I've asked, can detect a fragrance. The ONLY time I can smell anything is when I apply it to my underarms, so the product is obviously in closer proximity to my nose. As I glide it across my skin a faint scent of a Lifesaver's pineapple flavor candy takes me immediately back to my happy childhood memories. It lasts for a few seconds and then it's gone. Could just be me but every time I use this I end up with a smile on my face. 😊 I think this happens because your underarm skin is warm so the deodorant also warms and the solidified coconut oil melts a bit as you apply it, which releases the barely-there scent. I don't smell coconut, I smell glorious pineapple! Whoever thought to make it like this is genius! For those of you who don't smell anything for those few seconds, you're missing out.

After my whole life of trying various deodorants, I was consistently using Degree 72 hour antiperspirants spray, which I would have to apply in the morning after my shower and then once again before bed. While it had a pleasant scent, the aerosol was stifling and it left unremovable stains on my shirts. I learned about the toxicity of aluminum in deodorants and antiperspirants—which are found in every brand. After researching healthier options to aluminum deodorants/antiperspirants, I tried “Lūme,” which I enjoyed and found it helpful, but I was later recommended Native and decided to give it a try. I can genuinely say that this is the BEST and effective deodorant I have ever used. It did burn a small amount at first, but I expected that from baking soda being an ingredient. The longevity is fantastic, no reapply necessary, and my body odor has improved since using. I have no longer had that “onion” smell after sweating. Also, I have not noticed any stains to my clothing since using, which has always been an issue with antiperspirants that I have used in the past. I can fully recommend this product to everyone. The beneficial results were noticed immediately as opposed to the negatives from other brands. Native Deodorant is a healthier and effective deodorant; as it doesn’t contain any harmful ingredients and lasts even through intense workouts without reapplication.

Works well. Smells great. I like that it’s aluminum free.

I’ve tried so many aluminum-free deodorants and most of them either stop working halfway through the day or irritate my skin. This one is a total win. Native seriously nailed it. First of all, it glides on so smooth no tugging, no weird crumbling, and it doesn’t leave that heavy, sticky feeling. The scent is clean and fresh without being overpowering or fake-smelling. It’s just the right amount of fragrance where you feel put together but not like you sprayed perfume under your arms. What I love most is that it actually works. I can get through a full busy day (running around, workouts, life chaos) and still feel fresh. No weird chemical smell mixing with sweat either — it just does its job. I also really appreciate that it’s aluminum-free and made with ingredients I feel good about using daily. My skin is sensitive and this hasn’t caused any irritation or redness at all. If you’ve been on the hunt for a cleaner deodorant that doesn’t make you sacrifice performance, this is it. Five stars all day.

Nice, smooth, easy to apply deodorant with no aluminum. It is natural and it works well to prevent your odor. You are good up to 48 hours. This is a deodorant not an antipersperant. nice scent.

This product may be great for some/most people but I ended up at the doctor's office with diagnosis of allergic reaction likely due to this deodorant as it was new to me (bright red irritation both underarms), so it cost me $300 and a prescription. I would just recommend increased awareness in general of all deodorant ingredients of any brand and recommend close watch when you start using it for reaction which may be delayed. It is fragrance free, aluminum free and paraben free but not necessarily free from allergic reaction to the other ingredients/chemicals in the product. I may be an exception but wanted to share this. If you are not allergic to ingredients this may be a great product. I should have considered hypo-allergenic deodorant.

The Native Oak, Honey & White deodorant is simply excellent. It has a sophisticated, clean, and long-lasting fragrance that feels natural, not artificial. It provides great all-day protection and is gentle on the skin. You can feel the quality from the first use. A premium product that truly delivers and leaves a fresh, confident feeling. Highly recommended.
