Newly Launched Aster Luxury Soaps (Coconut and Turmeric) - Product Review

Aster Luxury Soaps, that I've been using since many months, has got some new launches recently and lucky me got to try two of the new variants few days back. So here is a word about the two
I got the soaps in Coconut and Turmeric variants.

So, starting talking about the packaging transformation that the Aster soaps have got. Earlier, the soaps used to be wrapped in a thin transparent plastic sheet soap by the brand, but this time the new soaps have come packed in a black non-glossy recyclable paper with beautiful golden floral motifs printed on it. The labelling on either side has got flavour name, weight, ingredients, price etc. printed on it.

The soap bar inside the outer cover is wrapped in disposable non-sticky paper similar to baking sheets. Overall, the packaging has taken a classy avatar now which looks go glam.

These handmade soap bars are made of 100% natural ingredients, paraben free, cruelty free and are not tested on animals. The turmeric soap is semi-opaque while the coconut soap is non-opaque. The scent in the coconut soap is so close to natural coconut fragrance that I cannot help myself smell it again n  again. The turmeric soap, on the other hand, is mildly scented. The fragrance doesn't linger on for long but makes you feel really fresh after bath. The fluffy lather coming out of the soap is easy to rinse off and doesn't leave the skin greasy.

The soaps are destined to improve condition of skin as turmeric is one of the best known antiseptic, while coconut soap has anti-oxidants properties.

People whose skin is prone to infections are advised to try turmeric soap to promote skin's tolerance. I've been bathing my son with this soap for more than a week now as his skin is sensitive for insect bites and the turmeric soap speeds up healing without causing him inflammation due to its antibacterial properties.

Coconut Soap is excellent to relieve the skin from itchiness, redness and irritation arising due to rashes that is personally observed by me on my skin. I'm lovingly using this milky white, humble-looking soap bar these days.

The soaps are safe to use on sensitive skin also since these are preservative free and work gently on any skin type. When a natural soap enriched with such ingredients is used on skin, its a way to ensure no loss of skin elasticity and reap great benefits like hydrated, soft skin. As the cold winds are already being experienced, I bet these luxurious soaps can help you keep the occasional dryness at the bay during upcoming winter months too.

All in all, both of these soaps are the storehouse of multitude of beneficial characteristics that our skin deserves. If you are look out for a great cleansing bar that is not harsh and loaded with harmful chemicals, then these Aster Luxury Soap Bars are worth giving a try.

Each of the soap bars weighs 125 gm and is priced at Rs. 200 each. The shelf life of the soaps is 24 months from the date of mfg. You may buy these from Flipkart or Amazon for yourself or can order the soap gift packs for your loved ones :)

Aster Luxury Launches Cinnamon and Cardamom Soaps

Hello Friends

"How safe is your soap?" is the question that people ask me who never tried anything but commercial soaps for cleansing of their skin. Well! washing your body with natural soaps helps avoid nasty chemical formations to cause skin issues and keeps your skin smooth and toxin-free. I am loving the floral, citrus and fruity aroma in the soaps that are made from wonderful ingredients taken from Mother Nature. Today I am sharing my views on two soaps with rejuvenating spicy scents from the poplar brand Aster Luxury Soap. The brand recently added new soaps to their collection and I got to receive Cardamom and Cinnamon variants to try.

Cinnamon Soap:
This sweet smelling spicy soap soothes the sense. This handmade bath bar has natural antiseptic properties to treat your skin issues effectively. Cinnamon handmade bath bar rejuvenates the skin removing excess oil and opens up skin pores. Cinnamon soap moisturises and nourishes the skin and makes it soft, smooth and healthy. This natural herbal soap treats black heads and improves condition of dull skin. It gently cleanses the dirt and pollutants from the skin.

Made up of: Coconut Oil, Sorbitol, Castor Oil, Myristic Acid, Stearic Acid, Cocoamido Propyl Betaine, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Cinnamon Fragrance Oil

Cardamom Soap
This handcrafted rich lathering natural bathing bar deliver moisturising and soothing effect on skin. Irresistible spicy aroma of cardamom relieves stress and tension. Cardamom exotic bath bar gently cleanse the body from head toe. Antiseptic and antioxidant properties of cardamom soap eliminate skin problems. As a result it helps improve skin condition and premature ageing.

Made up of: Coconut Oil, Sorbitol, Castor Oil, Myristic Acid, Stearic Acid, Cocoamido Propyl Betaine, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Cardamom Fragrance Oil

Both the soaps excited me a lot for being something different than usual fragrances I get to try. The soaps are packed in double layer of transparent sheet with ingredients list labelled on them. The original color of the spices have lent the shade to soaps. Cardamom soap is on darkest tone of brown while Cinnamon soap is midtone of brown.

Weighing in 125 gm and priced at Rs 150 each, the soaps are good to go for almost one complete month. The soaps have creamy soft texture as you hold it as well as on application. At times I feel its shape would disfigure if held tightly in my hand. The only care to be taken with these soaps is to avoid these from getting wet while resting on soapdish and not being used, because they have a tendency of melting down easily. Its not only the alluring fragrance of the soaps that makes these so attractive, but their post-usage effects are absolutely admirable.

Cinnamon soap used in the shower works as one of the best stimulant. Extended use of the cinnamon soap helps reduce the stress level with its warm invigorating spa-like aroma. The soap has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, so can treat the mild skin irritation and inflammation. On the other hand, Cardamom soap works up as a gentle exfoliant to render smooth texture to skin. The utterly irresistible fragrance of the cardamom improves circulation and uplifts the mood. Both the soaps are ideal for all skin types and are made with the highest quality organic ingredients to nourish and remove unhealthy toxins. So enjoy an enticing bath experience with these spicy, hydrating, chemical free soaps over commercial soaps and feed your skin with wholesome goodness :)
