Score breakdown and evidenceEvery point, with the quote behind it
Native has huge proof ("350,000+ FIVE STAR REVIEWS"), clinical odor claims and a low free-shipping bar ($15). The homepage H1 is "Native" twice, and the deodorant stick, its hero product, shows 4.2 stars in markup, below what the sitewide claim suggests.

Native runs a custom or headless storefront where our scanner sees very little (0 apps detected). A low number here would reflect our scanner, not their stack, so we leave Tech Stack out and reweight the score across the categories we could measure.
