Omved Moisturising Face Cleanser Review

The beauties who have cleansing as an integral part of  their beauty regime might be knowing how important is that to find a suitable face cleanser. For most of the cleansing jobs, the idea is to get clean skin as much as possible to avoid a face full of acne or looking like an oily slick. Our skin needs some oil so its really challenging to choose a cleanser that maintains the balance. In this post, I am going to review Omved Moisturising Face Cleanser. This is my first product from Omved's product line. So before I proceed towards the product, I would talk a li'l about the brand.

About Omved:
Omved is founded with a vision 'Pure Natural Living'. All their products and services have crafted with a deep concern to the environment and society. Strict environment friendly practices like saving energy, going paperfree and recycling make the company abide by a Green Company Policy :)
About the product:
Omved Moisturising Face Cleanser is 100% skin safe, pH balanced product tested for sensitivities and gentle enough for everyday usage. The natural plant botanicals deeply cleanse the skin without drying, lavender soothes and nourishes the skin.
Packaging:
The packaging is nothing showy and very decent pump bottle. The brownish color theme bottle is really attractive & distinctive than usual ones. The pump is covered with a transparent plastic cap which is very delicate. I don't expect it to last longer, nor does it makes a tight grip on the bottle. But the inner pump is made up of better material that is easy to handle as well. Very light pressure on the pump gives you sufficient for one time usage.

Recommended For: Normal to Dry Skin Types.
Price, Qty and Availability: The 100 ml content is priced at Rs 590. The shelf life of the product is 30 months. The product can be bought from online shopping portals like Flipkart, purplle, fashionara etc or at physical stores or their official website

Active Ingredients: DM water, caprylyl glucoside, aloe vera juice, glycerin, oils of clary sage, turmeric, juniper berry, lavender oil, sodium benzoate.
My take on the product:
I received a full sized bottle of Moisturising Face Cleanser from team Omved. The liquid in the bottle is pale brown in color and has somewhat runny consistency. As instructed, I applied the cleanser on my face and neck after few splashes of water. The liquid is of creamy texture and extremely soft foaming. On applying, it doesn't give soapy feel that I totally dislike. 

I truly liked the rejuvenating fragrance which is similar to most ayurved based products. The cleanser doesn't feel greasy on skin and cuts dirt and grime residing deeply in the skin. Rinsing off the cleanser is a job of fractions of seconds. I needed no effort for rubbing it off and it came out very easily with light strokes with water leaving the skin soft and refreshed completely.

Since day one of its usage, the cleanser has not caused me any burning, irritation or itching. It suits my dry skin very well and doesn't make it drier. I assume this cleanser will control the appearance of acne due to its ingredients, though I personally have not experienced it.

Pros:
Sturdy packaging.
Soothing herbal fragrance.
Causes no itching or irritation.
100% skin safe.
Free from parabens and synthetic colors.
Suited to all skin types.
Easy availability.

Cons:

Heavy on pocket.
I wish the grip and material of outer delicate cap is improved to make it travel friendly.

Overall Opinion:
Omved Moisturising Face Cleanser is a mild cleanser suited to all skin types including sensitive skin for day to day usage.It doesn't make the skin drier and doesn't further irritate already agitated skin. The ultimate result that you gain out of its regular usage twice a day is the hydrated & moisturized skin. If the prices are a bit slashed down to be more pocket friendly, this product promises you the best of skin care you expect from your skin-care rituals :)

Hope my review are informative to you!!

Navarasas Tranquility Lavender Ylang Ylang Body Butter Review

Hello All
 
How is life behaving at your end? I'm extremely exhausted for last two weeks due to work pressure and an ailing son :( The energy level was being really sinking at faster pace and I desperately needed something to lift my mood as well as to energize my tired senses. My friends n family suggested me to swallow some medicine to ease down my bodyache, but I am usually not in favour of taking tablets until its unavoidable. So I opted for my all time favourite treatment i.e. an aromatherapy treat to my body. Nothing in this world can match up with the luxurious comfort of self-massage with a body butter after a hot water shower :)

Today I want to share my experience with Navarasas Tranquility Lavender Ylang Ylang Body Butter.

About The Brand:
Navarasas Aromatherapy and Essential Oils by Nikki is a personalized, home based business aimed at creating the blends that are personally researched, studied & created by Ms. Nikki to fully harness the potential of aroma & massage therapies. Because the team 'Navarasas' believes in the fact that health is not simply the absence of disease. Holistic medicine is the concept of treating people by creating a balance between physical, mental, emotional & even spiritual elements of their body. I am instinctively fallen in love with this thought and so am ready with my views today ..

Product Claims:
This tranquil aromatherapy blend of essential oils claim to leave your skin feel smooth & nourished due to its Lavender & Ylang Ylang essential oils that sooth the mind & heal the body.

About the product:
Navarasas Tranquility Lavender Ylang Ylang Body Butter formulated with ingredients like Bee Wax, Essential Oils, Fragrance Oils, Organic Coconut Oil, Raw Cocoa Butter, Sweet Almond Oil. It comes in a transparent tub packing with transparent screw cap. A white push-in cap is interleaved inside the screw cap.  
 The distinctive composition of essential oils use in this Tranquility body butter gave my brain a signal of an uplifting aroma as soon as I opened the pack. lavender is one of my most favourite fragrances in bath n body products. Unlike my expectations, this body butter is not of smooth creamy texture, but is composed of relatively visible granules in pearly off-white color. I loved this coarse-grained texture a lot, because it gave me a rich feeling of using some effective n trustworthy home remedy for my skin :) :)

Inspite of the thick consistency, the body butter melts very easily at the body temperature. It feels quite oily until massaged nicely to get it absorbed by the skin properly. The skin feels happy with intensely moisturized with a light sheen visible on the top layer of the skin. My DRY skin behaved reasonably well after the application of Tranquility body butter. The lavender aroma might feel highly sweeter to some, but I like the delightful fragrance that lasts long enough. 


I noticed a great reduction flakes n dry patches on my skin after a regular use of  one week on my body. I recommend it to be used on any body part other than face.

Pros: 

  • Smells Lovely.
  • Soothes the body n brain.
  • Excellent Ingredients.
  • Possesses curative properties of essential oils. 
  • Greasy enough to treat n heal dry skin.
  • Stops moisture escaping from the skin.
  • No adverse effect on skin.
Cons:
  • The aroma might feel stronger to sensitive noses.

Overall Thoughts:
Navarasas Tranquility Lavender Ylang Ylang Body Butter is an added sumptuous touch to my  bathing and skin care routine. After a stressful day, just luxuriate yourself surrounded by goodness of aromatherapy
pampering of Navarasas & forget the world, because the effects of this body butter are far from skin deep :)
