MamaEarth Under Eye Cream Review

Tiring days and sleepless nights can harm your beautiful eyes and make you look dull and tired. Turbo charge your daily morning and night skincare routine by using MamaEarth Under Eye Cream and give your eyes lasting energy all day and restorative benefits throughout the night. With a unique blend of Vitamin C, Peptides, Caffeine and plenty more, your eyes will be fully loaded to fight against dark circles, puffiness, bags and wrinkles.

This is what today's product-under-review claims to do ;) I'm up with yet another ah-mazing wellness product from MamaEarth range. Though the product is said to be designed for new mommies, but anyone who needs a solution for the above said issues can use this product. I'm using it for 15+ days now and liked its performance so far.

Mama Earth Under Eye Cream boasts of ultimate ingredients like Caffeine, Collagen, Cucumber extract, Almond oil, Calendula Extract, Mulberry extract & Rockweed extract that make the composition a matchless product. Have a look at the image below for detailed ingredients list that is printed on the pack.

The eye cream comes in a good quality plstic jar that has double lids on it. The cream is off white coloured and is more on the thinner consistency (though cannot be considered watery thin). It runs down if you tilt the jar. The cream has light scent to it which seems fine to me. This is the first time that I have used an eye cream whose application can be extended towards our forehead and cheeks area too. As I read the product stating that it can be used as a complete face treatment, I really trusted it. Why so? because the composition of the product sounded so efficacious to me. 

When I apply the cream over my face, it gives my skin mild sensation that lasts just for a minute. I assume it's a hint that the product is well absorbed by the skin. The brand recommends the day and night application of the cream, but I do it only in the night since I find the cream bit greasy on my skin. I simply feel uncomfortable wearing a greasy layer on my skin during work hours. Moreover, night time is the best time to let the product work for deeper results. 

The eye cream moisturizes the fragile skin around eyes better than a typical moisturizer due to shea butter, sweet almond oil, extra virgin olive oil etc. These moisturizing agents help prevent water loss from the skin and improve elasticity. Other active ingredients like Rockweed Extract, Mulberry Extract and Caffeine Anhydrous soothe and nousrish the skin. Caffeine greatly helps blood circulation which reduces morning puffiness in turn. The eye cream feels and works better on puffiness and eyebags, if you refrigerate it for some time. Sounds strange, but true ;)  

Being Parabens, Phthalates, SLES, Mineral Oil, Dyes & Fragrances free is the best trait of all Mamaearth product including this eye cream. Now if you're wondering that I didn't talk about dark circles yet, they can't be get rid of in a matter of few days. One may notice slight skin lighting if coupled with proper diet etc. I'm patiently working towards achieving to dimnish the dark circles entirely by following the regime every night with complete faith in restorative MamaEarth Under Eye Cream. 

Buying guide: Order at Rs 500 for 50 ml.

Introducing 'Mama Earth' Baby Products

Kids deserve nothing but the best. And every parent of the world does everything possible for the well-being of their kids. As a mom, when I got notified about launch of Mama Earth; I knew I need to give it a heads up...

What's this 'Mama Earth'?: 
A brand by the parent and for the parents. An innovative startup venture by Ms. Ghazal & Mr. Varun which develops products from world class research and attempts to solve every little problem that parents face to find completely safe & certified toxin free products for their kids. With the aim of making products which are mum-baby friendly, toxin-free, meet stringent international standards & are basically ultra awesome, MamaEarth was born.

What I received in my kit:

I was sent a premium kit that is actually is colorful sling bag containing 4 full sized products viz. shampoo, massage oil, insect repellent and moisturizing lotion. The zipped bag is certainly a reusable one that is spacious enough to carry baby essentials while stepping out. A thumbs up for the bag ;)

Packaging Idea:

The products packaging is attention-grabber for little ones due to its cute labeling with birds and animal prints. The products' packaging have been kept identical following same color theme of green n white. Though it's good to look at, I wish there be some change for every product for quick identification of particular item.

My Detailed Product Appraisal:

Soothing Massage Baby Oil

A calming blend of Sesame, Olive, Sweet Almond and Jojoba oil makes the oil gentle on delicate baby skin. This oil packed in a pump dispenser plastic bottle is equally effective to use for pre-bath or post-bath massage of babies. The oil is not extremely heavy or sticky and sinks into skin with light hand strokes over the body.

I didn't notice any greasy stains on sheets or clothes. A night-time baby massage with this oil aids him enjoy better sleep after he/she is exhausted of play all the day long. Sesame (Til) oil is well known for healing and immunity booster. So this beautifully smelling natural oil is a good choice.

Gentle Cleansing Baby Shampoo

In Indian families, the little ones are usually bathed without using any hard cleansers. Mama Earth has formulated this gentle cleansing shampoo that is enriched with goodness of Coconut based cleanser and Jojoba Oil to nourish baby's scalp.

The shampoo is mildly foaming and doesn't sting baby's eyes. A little quantity is sufficient to clear hair n tender scalp of child. It claims to maintain 5.6 pH level that is best suited for baby skin.

Moisturizing Daily Lotion

Enriched with goodness of Calendula Extracts, Shea and Cocoa Butter for deep nourishing of your baby's skin, the lotion is a must-use product to keep baby's skin soft and supple. The deep moisturizing components of the lotion prevent chafing. 

I like that the lotion is not runny in consistency and a layer of moisture relieves the baby from dry, itchy skin for many hours. For me, this lotion makes a efficacious option as go-to diaper cream when you're not carrying a separate one.

Natural Insect Repellent 

It has natural blend of essential repellent oils like Citronella, Peppermint and Lemon Eucalyptus with a base of Soya and Castrol oil. I swear I wanted such a product so desperately because my child is allergic to insect bites. He's been given medical treatment several times when he's stung by any bugs outside.

I'm happy to announce that this oil spray has relieved my worries to great extent. Though I feel the product has an overpowering smell for kids, but I think its still better to have a safe deet-free option available. Just spritz enough product evenly on exposed skin while going outside or before sleep. It's recommended not to apply it under clothing, over cuts/wounds/irritated skin. To avoid contact with eyes, I suggest spraying little product on your own hands and pat it on baby's skin.
