Oriflame Love Nature Energising Mint & Raspberry Products Review

Love Nature range from Oriflame celebrates ingredients from nature that smell and feel fantastic. Every pleasurable product has been created to benefit your body and respect the planet. The Mint & Raspeberry range from this collection tantalized me and I felt like adding these products to my Bath & Body selection for ongoing cold winter days.

Love Nature Energising Mint & Raspberry range includes three products i.e. soap bar, shower gel and body lotion. All three products visibly follow bright red and green colored themed packaging that is so apt to give us Christmasy feel today ;)

It's a cute shaped pink coloured soap bar that resembles paisley pattern. Infused with anti-oxidant powers of raspberry and refreshing mint, the soap does replenishes your body skin. It lathers rich and doesn't strippes your skin off it's natural oils. My dry body skin didn't feel scratchy or stretchy after a bath with this soap which generally happens with me on using any random commercial bathing bars, rather I felt properly cleansed all over. I like the fact that the soap bar doesn't melt excessively and retains its shape after many uses.

Love Nature Energising Mint & Raspberry Exfoliating Shower Gel 

Wake up and reinvigorate. Our exfoliating shower gel with mint and raspberry makes cleansing time a treat with its fresh, energising scent and natural-origin scrub beads. Fully biodegradable formulation

Ingredients:
Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Acrylates Copolymer, Glycerin, Hydrated Silica, Sodium Chloride, Parfum, Sodium Hydroxide, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol, Benzyl Salicylate, Mentha Aquatica Leaf Extract, Rubus Idaeus Fruit Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Chondrus Crispus Powder, Phenoxyethanol, Agar, Potassium Sorbate, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Benzoic Acid, Glucose, Potassium Chloride, Dehydroacetic Acid, Sorbic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Methylparaben, Ammonium Polyacrylate, CI 16035, CI 77288, CI 17200, CI 77492, CI 42090 

Like always, there will be debate about soaps being hygienic or not. So people who avoid using bathing bars, but would love to try Mint & Raspberry bathing products should pick this shower gel for a relaxing shower.

The shower gel is of moderately thick consistency and has tiny green coloured granules in it. I thought of getting exfoliation feel on skin due to these granules. But as you rub the shower gel on your body skin, you will notice these to be melting but there is mild grainy feel on skin that is above and beyond these granules. I am totally loving the way it gently exfoliates my skin for deeper and more thorough cleansing results. And yes! only a coin-sized quantity is enough for full body cleansing.

Price: Rs. 418 for 250 ml

Love Natue Body Lotion with Energising Mint & Raspberry
Soften and moisturise your skin with the uplifting and inspiring scent of mint and raspberry. The perfect partner after your shower, this skin softening body lotion will help to energise and delight!

Ingredients:

Aqua, Glycerin, Isopropyl Palmitate, Cetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Stearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate Se, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Ceteareth-20, Pentaerythrityl Distearate, Methylparaben, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Parfum, Limonene, Propylparaben, Xanthan Gum, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Benzyl Salicylate, Mentha Aquatica Leaf Extract, Rubus Idaeus Fruit Extract, Citric Acid, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Geraniol, Potassium Sorbate, Sorbic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, CI 16035 

It's a pale pink coloured (looks white though), creamy, smooth lotion that has sweet fragrance to it. It takes no time to get absorbed into the skin and is so lightly-textued. It leaves skin soft, hydrated and prevents getting it flaky. You won't get to see any greasy shine on skin once it's spread onto the skin. It can be used all round the year for normal to dry skin types. For the excessively dry skin type like mine, you may need to reapply the lotion during winter season to enjoy supple, moisturized skin all day long. 

Price: Rs. 465 for 200ml

All the products smell predominantly of raspberries that is a plus for fruity fragrance lovers. The smell is not overpowering and lingers on for quite some time. I personally would have loved it more with more minty scent into it, but my family is using the products lavishly these days enjoying the goodness.

IHA Boro Heal Foot Care Scrub Bar Review

Hello Friends

Hope you read my recent post where I shared some of my fav foot care products. On receiving good response for the same, I just thought of continuing with the same theme i.e. foot care and decided to share my experience about one of the product that I bet, will steal your heart. The product is Boro Heal Foor Care Scrub Bar from IHA Vedic Beauty. Read on to know why is it so dear to me ;)

Product Info:

IHA Boro Heal Foot Care Scrub Bar is specially formulated to provide tender care to your feet. It gently exfoliates the dead hard skin, dirt, grime, toxins & infections from your feet & heels, making them soft, supple & smooth. It's natural antiseptics & healing agents help removing infections & healing cracks, resulting in softer, smooth heels & heals the feet in a short time.

Packaging: 

The foot scrub bar comes in cardboard box with all details mentioned on it like how to use it, what has gone into its formulation, price n quantity etc. A big hole cutout on the cardboard box shows the soap without opening the packaging. The soap bar itself is neatly sealed in clear sheet.

Ingredients:

Natural extract of Turmeric Root oil, Sandalwood oil, Aloe Leaf oil, Karanj oil, Borax, Luffa Fruit Fiber.

Price: Rs. 120
Weight:100 gms

Shelf Life: 3 Years

My Experience:

This foot scrub bar had been the reason I got attracted towards IHA products. I had fallen for it in the first sight honestly. May be because I wanted n needed it so desperately. This foot scrub bar looks so irresistible in its gorgeous green color. And I also liked its round shape for a change unlike other usual ones.  

The uniqueness of this soap bar is that it has luffa fruit fiber embedded in it that is purely obtained from specific fruits. You may relate it to the loofahs we used to get from mature, dried gourd in olden days. The same had been replaced by the commercially available loofahs since many years now. But finding this scrub bar with natural luufa into it, I am really delighted.

As you scrub it on your wet feet and heels, it tickles your feet ;) The scrubbing effect can be experienced right from the very first use of the bar, which keeps on getting more prominent after every use. The benefit of having a natural luffa in the soap is that they are softer and enriched with nature's healing properties since they are grown on earth. These luffas are firm, but are not likely to scratch the skin like abrasive scrubbers.

The soap bar produces creamy lather that doesn't cause dryness since it is infused with some nourishing oils. The soap has lovely fragrance that lasts for really long. I take it as a plus point because it would also be helping fight odor. I can feel the smell in my hands after scrubbing the soap on my feet. 

The infusion of Karanj Oil makes the soap effective to tackle skin diseased or infections because Karanj is said to be one of the most advantageous ayurvedic medicine to treat skin problems. The minor cracks in the heels get healed after prolonged usage. So using this scrub bar on your feet and heels not only ensures smooth exfoliated skin, but also guarantees the skin to be bacteria free.

For utmost benefit, I would suggest to apply a rich foot cream to soften tough skin on your heels.

Pros:

Removes dead skin from feet n heels.
Heals & repairs cracked heels.
Fights Infections.

Smells Lovely.

Creamy feel on scrubbing.

Has antiseptic properties.

Causes no scratches on skin.

Doesn't melt excessively.

Good Price.

Cons:

Can't think of any.

I would conclude by strongly recommending IHA Boro Heal Foor Care Scrub Bar to everyone who want soft pampered feet ;)
