genuine
The real thing
Genuine means authentic or real, not counterfeit or fake: a genuine Picasso, genuine leather.
Applied to people or their expressions, it means sincere and without pretense: Her concern seemed genuine.
He's a genuine person—what you see is what you get.
The word often implies trustworthiness precisely because so much isn't genuine.
