Native Avis 189

It destroyed nearly all my shirts. After using the eucalyptus for a few months I noticed a horrid musty smell from the armpits of my clothing. It turned my husband's white shirts grayish. The smell though... it penatrated my closet. I soaked the pits in pure green and washed hot... still it persisted. I'm devastated and had to buy a handful of shirts to wear to work so I wasn't fumigating my clients. I've used natural deodorant for 15yrs at least and never had this issue. I'd like to add, I had developed a routine of washing my arm pits multiple times throughout the day to reapply the deodorant and it still didn't work. That should've been a red flag. This went on for months while my clothes got worse and worse. I used native for 2 or 3 yrs. Don't wait for it to destroy your clothes too.

I am a cancer survivor and was on the lookout for a product that wasn't toxic. Many of the commercial deodorants on the market caused swelling in my lymph nodes. I tried several other natural options that did absolutely nothing to control odor. I was so excited when this did the trick and didn't aggravate my sensitive lymph nodes. I've been using this product for over 5 years now!

I decided to order a body wash from them because it was all natural. After I place the order I I got a super goofy confirmation talking about how excited they were to get my order, like I was a four-year-old… Or, a millennial :-).

Then I started receiving advertising in my email from them for other products in that same goofy style. after a couple days I checked on my order which had not shipped yet so I contacted them to ask them when it would ship, and why they are sending me all this mail now.

At that point I contacted them and told them I wanted my order canceled because it had not shipped, and I was sick of their stupid email ads.

They apologized and told me that it would be ready to ship shortly and they would credit me back the cost of the product to compensate me for the delay and the email flood. They also told me I would receive a shipping confirmation within 24 hours. I never did.

Three or four days later I contacted them again for any kind of an update, letting them know I did not receive shipping confirmation, and never heard back.

Don’t know if their product is any good or not, but the company seems to be run by a bunch of goofballs. If you’re looking for organic products I suggest looking somewhere else.

UPDATE- finally received my body wash after a couple of weeks. works fine, very little scent of the eucalyptus and mint. I don’t know whether that is a pro or con. If they can fix their fulfillment system, like getting it on Amazon prime, and make their communications more adult like, I would probably consider purchasing it again.

If you have a physically active job, these products are not for you. The scent and the deodorant did not even last until midday. I need to feel and smell fresh for 8 hours, an entire word day, not just a few hours.

They use deceptive sales practices to get you to order. LAbor day sale was another example, spend 30 or more and get 20% off, implied is off total order not just one 30 dollar item, but thats how it tallied it. So I order 90.00 worth n got 20% off of only 30.00. Customer service was zero help and the offer 10% off an order, which is able to be applied to any order at any time. Look elsewhere for natural product. Since the buy out they sold out.

My experience with NATIVE was wonderful! I bought four bottles of the body wash. I got frequent, funny emails from a Customer Rep named Julia. Everything went smoothly and I received the body wash in a timely manner. They ALL smell fabulous! I will order more body wash. All in all I am a very happy customer!

I started using Native because the last two "natural" deodorants gave me hives. I am using the "sensitive" one and it is excellent. I've been using for 1 1/2 years and couldn't be happier with the product. I started the bath soap too and love it.

But the other thing... I just placed another order and got great "your order was placed" and "your order was shipped" emails. They were hysterical - thanking me effusively (is that a word?) and making me laugh.

I love this company and their products and so happy they are a US company!

Been a loyal customer for years buying for all the family then suddenly overnight they decided to drop all customers in the UK & EU cancelling all the subscriptions and abandoning their customers.

I have sent this company multiple emails on three different occasions telling them I have never ordered from them. My email address was merged with a separate address attached to a separate person. I have unsubscribed multiple times. I continue to get confirmation emails for another person in another country and they send me this person's personal information. Their customer service is seriously lacking. Being unable to unsubscribe is frustrating but I would be even more frustrated if my information was being sent to a stranger.

I have contacted the Native company several times to cancel my order but to no avail, they continue to take money out of my checking account for a product I have not received. Today 5/26/2021 they took out money again this makes it well over 30.00 that I have not received the product which is fine but they keep taking my money. There is no phone number to talk to a person you must email. The product is ok does not control odor. If you don't mind receiving this the rest of your life the it is a fine product

Buying products online can be a hit or miss thing, especially when you can't smell them or touch them. All the more when you are unable to return them as the company is based across the pond and you live in the UK.

This was the case with my most recent order from Native. I absolutely loved their coconut & vanilla scent & all the teenage fresh and citrusy scents.

I have found their mens citrus & herbal musk shower gel too overpowering and artificial and not a very sophisticated smell. Tangerine and citrus blossom deodorant had a way too " bitter " quality about it, that really stood out when applied to the skin.

I understand that this is down to personal preference. Unfortunately, I will be giving my products away as they are not my kinda '' scents '' Just shame I have paid a premium price for premium products and will be unable to return them for a refund.

I've been a Native user for over a year now with the subscription service. Its so nice being able to have confidence in a product so as not to have harmful ingredients. Two of my growing into teens children are now Native users as well, and I'm at peace knowing their deodorant is junk-free.

I had such high hopes for this product and boy was I disappointed. I ordered the plastic free paper packaging and it is very flimsy, but the main sticking point is the actual product. I never in my life had smelly armpits even with not applying deodorant for days! This only changed since using this product. I have no idea what they put in it but it actually makes me sweat more, I never had this issue before. It's extremely pricey and I'm glad that I only ordered a couple to try. Save yourself some money and choose another natural product.

For those of you who tried Native deodorant and it didn’t work, please read this. I tried it too and it didn’t work either. Only to find out from my daughter that it doesn’t work for a lot of people who just rub it in their underarms. After applying it, you need to lightly rub over the area with your fingertips. This helps to activate the ingredients with your body. Then it takes 2 weeks of use before it starts working. I tried it, and it DOES actually work. It is a great deodorant and works well, BUT only if applied correctly. Give that a shot. It is possible it won’t work, but more than likely it will.

I have been using Native deodorant for 4 months now and it's not great. It's not an antiperspirant and you have to reapply it a lot. I like the idea but doesn't really work irl.

I had wanted to try Native from January this year and didn’t get a chance until April. As someone who has tried a fair few natural deodorants I hate to say that Native did not work for me.

And annoyingly I had bought the promo pack ( 3 pack) which meant I had to use them up before considering buying something else. I’ve been using the deodorant for the last 7-8 months as I was hopeful things would get better. I got the coconut one, lavender and citrus scents.

I will say the scents are nice and not overpowering. But unfortunately, that’s as far as it goes for me.

I found that Unless I really rubbed the deodorant into my skin it left white marks- it just doesn’t absorb onto the skin as I would have anticipated.

Also if I were to use it alone (without the aid of another deodorant brand) I’d probably only get 5 hours max out of the deodorant. I’ve had to pair it with the salt of the Earth deodorant crystal stick in order to increase the longevity And effectiveness of the native deodorant. Something I didn’t expect I’d have to do.

Needless to say, I won’t be buying it again. It may work for some but it definitely didn’t work for me. A shame as I really hoped I’d be a consistent user and buyer of the brand.

If I could give zero stars I would. Maybe minus zero. When I realize it was not worth the money I canceled my subscription. I got a response from an automated email system but nothing else. They emailed me today stating that my order is being prepared. I sent them a message to cancel the order. They had already charged my card. I never heard back. Then I got a message from ups stating my order was awaiting a shipping label with tracking number and estimated delivery date. I contacted my bank today and they are doing an investigation. They know that if I dispute this with my bank Ivwill get my money back. They are a rip off. I wii be contacting my lawyer on Monday. They totally disregard my request to cancel my subscription and continue to charge my card. If a business does not have a business number do not give them your business. I see this happening a lot . No phone number to speak to someone only email or message through the website. I have learned my lesson. You are sad people. The reviews on this site that are giving five stars are paid. Don’t be fooled.

I have been using natural deodorant for about 2 years now, so wanted to try out Native.

I was initially quite impressed as I got a really good deal with a promo code and the scents are all really nice (I ordered a pack of three, annoyingly!). These are honestly not very good, as some other reviews have stated here, the deodorant has very little lasting effect. It does prevent you smelling but I would say it only achieves that for about 6-8 hours. It also made my clothes smell almost damp at the armpit which no other natural deodorant has done, and I’ve tried about 4 different brands. My sister also had the exact same experience.

Like I said, I have used natural deodorant for a while now so there was no chance of this being a need for me to ‘detox’ or stick with it till any antiperspirant had worn off.

Personally I think this is a case of attractive marketing, investing in Instagram ads and using influencers. There are much better brands out there that I will be going back to that really do last the full day and didn’t cause any weird smells on my clothes. I wouldn’t waste your money on Native or be fooled by overly positive reviews.

I'm totally in love with native!! I ordered for the second time because I was so enthousiastic about my first order. The customer service is very helpful. I didn't get my package at first, so I sent the customer service of native an email and they sent me another package for free. I was really happy for how they handled the situation. The deodorant's quality is amazingly good and my armpits have gotten so much softer. Besides that, the deodorant is really easy to take with you on your way. I love it!!

Best deodorant I've ever used, love it and will never change to anything else tried many many brands but this one succeeds them all!
