Aroma Essentials Neem Face wash Review.



Aroma Essentials is a brand that sounds Tiny but, is Mighty. They are based in Bangalore. Almost all their products are really popular allover India and this Neem face wash was bought by one of my sister's friend and today's Review is based on her feedback.

Ingredients:

You can whatsapp on that number and place the order. That invisible number above that slash is 8. To have a look on all their products, visit their Instagram Page.

That's how it looks. A thick black fluffy aloe gel kind of paste.

Review:

Usually, majority of Natural SLS Free Face washes for Acne in India are based on Tea tree. But, this one from Aroma Essentials has Neem, Activated charcoal and Eucalyptus which are all powerful anti-bacterial agents. So, She has been using this face wash from past 1 month and says that it's been really good. The gel is easily spreadable while massaging on the face and washes off easily. I does not lather even a tiny bit but cleanses really well. Does not dry out the skin like other face washes which target acne. A water based moisturizer after washing this off is must though. It controlled her Acne to a great extent and until now they did not re-occur. One major disappointing factor of this face wash is it's fragrance. It smells kind of bitter herbal which does not really appeal many nostrils. :P

Here's a picture of her where she freshly washed her face with this cleanser. (That's my 'Lucky' girl with her :))

Final words: Odor kept aside, this product is a must try for people suffering with Acne. Both Oily and Dry skin people can use it. Plus it's Eco-friendly too! Do give it a try.

Rating: 4/5.

Krya Gentle Face Wash Powder Moisture+ Review.


  
Today i am reviewing this Gentle face  Wash Powder Moisture+ from the Brand: Krya.

Price: 300/- INR

Complete List of Ingredients:
Certified Organic - East Indian Arrowroot, Indian Gooseberry, Fenugreek, Fennel
Organic but not certified - Moringa , Heritage Barley, Barnyard millet, 
Wild crafted (Forest collected) - Zeodary, Sweet Flag , Chebulic myrobalan, Beleric Myrobalan, Indian Liquorice, Winter Cherry, Rubia Cordifolia

This is how it is packed and how it looks.

Review:

From the time my skin had become almost Hypersensitive because of my MS, i was on the lookout for gentle skincare products. One day when I was randomly browsing Natural mantra, i stumbled up on this this product and bought it immediately. 

Unlike traditional face wash powders, this felt so soft and gentle on the skin. It's almost spongy after you mix it with water. Cleans the skin well. Moisturizing as claimed. Doesn't dry out the skin like other cleansers. You do need to apply a moisturizer if you have dry skin. Normal skin people may happily skip that step. Oily skin people better avoid it.

My skin gained a healthy glow and Acne did not bother too!

And the ingredients were the best part. Because, first of all, it does not contain Turmeric. I am allergic to Turmeric and i never ever got any rashes or allergies while using it. And second, the ingredients used in this product are something i've never seen before in any natural face cleansers. At 300/- INR, it is perfect bang for the buck. (Forest essentials and Kama ayurveda should learn something may be.)

Rating: 5/5

Final Word: If you have sensitive Dry skin, do give this face wash a try. You might love it just like i did.

Available on: Amazon.in and Krya.in

Did you use this Moisture+ Gentle Face wash powder from Krya? or any other variants from Krya? How was your experience?  Let me know in the comments section below.

Jiva Vrksa Natural Personal care products Review Part-1.



Review of the Jiva Vrksa Personal care products.

Recently, '
Jiva vrksa' which is a Natural/Organic Personal care brand sent me 4 of their products for review. I used them in many different ways and am now ready to give my opinion on them.

About 'Jiva Vrksa' Brand:


JivaVrksa, is an health initiative of vrksa (Vri-K-sha : Tree - A symbol of life and endurance) lifespace pvt ltd; Chennai with a vision to spread awareness on healthy and sustainable living through natural and organic personal and home care products.

Vrksa has always been mindful on the products we have used that are categorized Organic or Natural. 


The products we have always in one way or the other promote sustainable living either by taking us a step closer to nature or by supporting the people creating these natural products.


We at Jivavrksa will do what it takes to help with all of your questions on anything thats related to the products or any general questions that you might have on how to lead a healthy natural life.


Their Values: Being natural is at the core to continue being who we are! (I really Loved this one!)

All in all, i loved their Views, Values and Motto. Let's see if the performance of the products matched up.


I was sent 75 gram pouches of these four products:

*Hair wash.
 *Body wash.
*Face wash.
*Face pack.


A Thank you Note and a pair of ear rings made out of Coconut shell from 'Manya vrksa'. :) Too bad i can not wear them because, My ears have strangely developed an allergy for all the metals including Gold which is supposed to be neutral and non-allergic.  :-/

I am breaking down the Review in to Two parts. So, here i am reviewing 1 product i.e., the Face wash. Rest 3 will be in the second part.

Jiva Vrksa Face wash Review:


Quantity: 75 gms.

Price: Rs.100.00 INR


The Face wash powder was packed in a Paper packaging.

Ingredients:

The Face wash powder: (Model: Hubby ;))

First of all, let me tell you my skin type: Super sensitive.(because of my Health condition)

After using 'Forest essentials Narangi nagkesar' ubtan for a long time, i was excited to try something new in the form of Jiva Vrksa Facewash. After i finished 3 tubs of that ubtan, i switched to regular cleansing options for a while. After suffering that bad decision, i just grabbed this face wash powder to use because my natural liquid face wash and the natural soap were both drying up my skin like monsters!

I took 1/2 a spoon worth of this face wash powder, mixed it with a little water to make a paste and rubbed it gently in circular motions allover my face. Did this for half a minute and then washed it off with cold water. Then i went to my work place as usual. I was driving my scooter and started feeling weird on my face. And then after i reached and was shooting an important event, suddenly my face started to itch horribly! It was unbearable! I had to abruptly stop the shoot and run in to the kitchen for a glass of cold milk and immediately wash my face with it. I felt relieved after that.


I did not dare touch it for the next one week. :-I And then one day, i decided to give it a second chance. This time i mixed it with Milk and a little Milk cream. This time, it itched a little less but not completely absent.


So, the Conclusion is that, it does not suit Sensitive skin types for sure. However, it has Amazing Organic ingredients that do not usually fall in the 'irritating' category and hence might work well on normal/non-sensitive skin types.


My Rating A/c to my Super sensitive skin type: 0/5


Do i Recommed: It is very cost effective for a 75 gram natural face wash. So, you can give it a try if your skin doesn't fall in the 'Sensitive' category.


Availability: Amazon.in

I will Review the remaining 3 products tomorrow.

Simple and sturdy Glass container with a sturdy Black plastic lid.



I was a little careless with the Lid and look at how it dried out the product! So, Remember to screw the Lid tightly after each use.


Consistency After mixing the dried out cleanser with a little water.


My experience: when i shifted to Chennai, the condition of my skin started deteriorating due to the high humidity, heat and super hard water. It was the worst it had ever been in my whole life. My skin became excessively oily and started getting clogged up which resulted in insane number of blackheads and whiteheads! 

                                                         One fortunate day, i stumbled up on the review of this product from suki on a natural beauty blog and was quite intrigued after reading. After a little more research, i ordered it right away. 

                                                         The texture of this Cleanser is interesting. It's like fine sugar granules mixed with juices and oils. It sure is a little abrasive so obviously not recommended for people with lot's of active acne. I take a little..like say..1/4th teaspoon of it in my palm, mix it with approximately a teaspoon worth water and foam it up. The sugar granules don't dissolve completely thus helping in gently exfoliating the skin. Then, i apply it to my face and massage gently in circular motions. After washing off, my skin feels comfortably clean. Sugar being a humectant and colloidal Oat kernel flour being a moisturizer and soother, leaves the skin hydrated instead of leaving it squeaky clean. Since i lived in a humid climate, i just used to spray my skin with Forest essentials Panch pushp facial toner and that's it. Never felt the need to moisturize.

                                                        After using it religiously for almost 20 days, i saw a clear improvement in my skin's clarity, texture and balance. No more excessive oily skin and No more insane number of blackheads and whiteheads! Completely Calm. Yay! 

Not at all lying! No ma'm. :)

Thank you Suki Kramer. <3

And i totally loved the delicate sugary Lime-lemongrass fragrance.
