My Experience with the Pure Suds Frangipani Soap:


The Frangipani Soap is a gorgeous looking soap made with a blend of 6 different oils. The soap has a really great fragrance which isn't overpowering and has a gorgeous blend of soothing colors. The oils used in this soap are Avocado Oil, Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, Palm Oil and Canola Oil. With a mix of these oils and cocoa Butter this soap will be a boon for people with Dry Skin. This soap is so moisturizing that after using this i don't feel the need to use a lotion or moisturizer. My skin feels soft and smooth after using this soap and i haven't felt that with other soaps.

New Products From The House Of Pure Suds Handmade Skin Treats


If you have been following the blog/ my twitter profile/ insta profile... You would be well aware that i absolutely love to use handmade/ organic bath and skin care products... I have been hauling a lot of soaps and skin care products these days and i just wanted to share with you some amazing skin care products that have been recently launched by Pure Suds. 



About Pure Suds:

Pure Suds Skin Treats brings to you a world of luxurious handcrafted soaps minimizing the use of harsh chemicals on a daily basis.



Their mission is: 
Promoting minimally processed skincare which include a range of cold-process handcrafted soaps, Body butters, Sugar scrubs, Face scrubs, Lotions and Lip balms. All of which is prepared in my little studio in Rajasthan to delivery all over India.




Without further ado have a look at the latest products from Pure Suds:

1. Ylang Ylang Soap - Rs.350 for 100 grams



The soap is just so pretty! Its smells amazing.... I just don't feel like using it up :P I like that fact that Bhavana makes sure that each soap looks different from the other in terms of style. 




2. French Vanilla Velvette Rich Body Butter – Rs.899  for 170 grams



Once again the fragrance is amazing... Texture is also very good! This would work great for all skin types... Not greasy at all. Perfect to use all year round.  Also Available in Rose Velvette, Ylang Ylang and Citrus.





3. Cocoa Coffee Brightening Face Scrub – Rs.699 for 90 grams

This has to be my most favourite product from the ones i'm featuring today. I totally love anything that has coffee or chocolate in it and this product has both :D It's the perfect face scrub for my skin type. Not harsh at all. Leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. Only again the fragrance is amazing! Love it!




4. Rose face moisturizer for daytime  – Rs.799 for 90 grams



Bhavana has beautifully explained all the ingredients of this product along with how to use. So it's better you read what she has to say :)

Many of us love the fragrance of fresh roses around us. It elates our spirits and uplifts one’s mood on a happier note. I wanted something floral to linger around my skin for a long time. It is true that good aroma keeps one in high spirits. So I decided to go ahead take and take the plunge into making a aromatic and skin nourishing Rose Face Creme with ingredients which are simple and understandable.

1. Rose Water – Rose water or Rose Hydrosol is collected usually when the Essential oil of rose is extracted like any other hydrosol. Hydro – water, Sol – solution. Rose Water is the most commonly used hydrosol for its various benefits for good skin.

Benefits – It tones and conditions the skin. It is used for all skin types be it oily, dry and acne prone. It balances the sebum production. It is anti bacterial, works as an astringent and heals many skin conditions. Apart from working wonders on the Skin, Rose Water provides a lovely sensual fragrance which calms stress, anger, anxiety and variety of mood swings. It is also known  to be an aphrodisiac.

2. Aloe Juice – When applied on the skin it soothes inflammations, increases the collagen, tones, conditions and heals cuts and wounds.

3. Jojoba oil – Jojoba oil is a wax not a oil. It is easily absorbed by the skin. It works as a miracle when it comes to the T-zone which is usually an issue as Jojoba oil pronounced much as ho-ho-ba oil mixes really well with the sebum creating a non-occlusive layer allowing our skin to breath. Jojoba oil is known to soften the skin, alleviate psoriasis and acne, offers tonnes of moisturizing properties without making the skin too oily or dry and is considered and excellent emollient.

4. Pomegranate Oil – It is a great ingredient for skin care because it works for most skin types. Since pomegranate oil penetrates deeply into the skin, it is effective for treating plenty of skin conditions such as acne, scars and sooth minor irritations. It contains punicic acid, an omega 5 fatty acid that hydrates and prevents moisture loss.

5. Evening Primrose Oil – Rich in Gamma Linoleic Acid, Evening primrose oil has a charm of its own. It helps with dry skin conditions, eczema, Acne prone skin, scars and other skin related issues. It helps balance the skins moisture.

6. Rose Essential Oil – Apart from the aroma that it flaunders, it has multiple skincare benefits. In 2010, Chinese researchers published a study uncovering that rose oil exhibited one of the strongest bactericidal activities compared to 10 other oils. They also discovered that just after 5 minutes of a 0.25% dilution, Propionibacterium acnes (the bacteria responsible for acne) was completely destroyed.
A well rounded product for the day.

How to use for all skin types?

1) Oily Skin – Rub a tiny pea sized amount between your fingers and press gently starting from cheeks, chin, upper lips, forehead and eyes. Do not massage the product onto your face. After a minute gently press fingers again to ensure the product penetrates.
For those who apply make-up, use this as a base, use a compact, blush etc and you are good to go.

2) Dry skin – Rub more than a pea sized amount between your fingers and massage gently starting from cheeks, chin, upper lips, forehead and eyes.
Make-up users continue with your routine with ease after application of the Face Creme.
All in all a well rounded product for the day.

Please note- For those under the sun, use your sunscreen as I cannot claim it to protect from sun tan.


It's a very light moisturiser and since i have oily skin i do not prefer using any product that makes my skin greasy even for a little bit. It has worked well till now. Will do a full fledged review once i have used them for a longer duration.

Till then don't forget to check out the new range of Pure Suds on Facebook.

Alternatively, you can also email or call them : puresudssoapery@gmail.com / 09784591628.

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

Aster Luxury Bathing Bar - Rose : Review & Price

My Blog seems to be full with reviews of Soaps.... Haha... I still have a shelf full of soaps to be used and reviewed! Handmade/ Natural Soaps have made a huge difference to my skin... and it feels good use products on my skin which are not loaded with chemicals. Today i'm back with a review of a lovely soap from the house of Aster. Have you read my review of the Sandalwood Soap from Aster? If not... Check it out HERE.


A Lil Bit About Aster:


Aster Luxury handmade bathing bars are premium bathing soaps which are designed for those who nourish their skin naturally. Aster bathing bars are blended for enhancing specific skin types, as every individual's skin is not the same. These luxury soaps are skin healthy, soothing and provide natural protection to the skin. Aster bathing bars retain all the possible benefits of herbs and essential oils.

Aster luxury handmade soaps use natural ingredients such as Coconut Oil, Sorbitol, Castor Oil, Myristic Acid etc.

The Essential Oils & Fragrances used in Aster Luxury bathing bars are sourced from authentic manufacturers & used only after going through stringent quality control methods. Aster handmade soaps use strong percentage of essential oils thus the lingering fragrance lasts much longer.

They have developed a vast range of premium quality soaps both in transparent & opaque form.


About Aster Luxury Rose Soap:

Aster Luxury premium rose handmade bathing soap bar are made from premium quality ingredients and blend of pure essential oils and rose petals. This soap bar has a romantic and aromatic fragrance. Its cooling and refreshing properties cleanse the skin naturally and leave your skin soft and supple. It contains no harsh chemicals hence it is perfect for sensitive, dry or oily skin. No Paraben. No Phthalates. No animal testing.

Ingredients:

Coconut Oil, Sorbitol, Castor Oil, Myristic Acid, Stearic Acid, Cocoamido Propyl Betaine, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Rose Fragrance Oil




Price & Quantity:

Rs.150 for 125 gms



Shelf Life:


24 months from date of packaging.



My Views on Aster Luxury Rose Soap:


Aster Luxury soaps come in a plastic packaging with labels in the front as well as back. The label at the back  gives you details of ingredients, manufacture date,etc. Its a very simple and fuss free packaging, but the packaging doesn't go with the brand name. I would have definitely preferred a slightly better packaging.

The soap is semi - opaque and reddish pink in color just like a rose. I'm a sucker for soaps with amazing fragrance, but unlike the sandalwood soap this doesn't have a very strong fragrance :(. Its pretty mild so its great for people who don't like their soaps to have a strong fragrance. This soap contains the goodness of coconut oil, castor oil & glycerin... all of these are doing wonders for my skin. 


Another amazing fact is that unlike other handmade soaps.. this doesn't melt too fast nor does it loose its shape. It lathers really well and cleanses the skin completely. The soap is highly 
moisturizing and i don't feel the need to apply a moisturizer.

Pros:

1. Free of Parabens & Phthalates
2. Not tested on animals
3. Easily available online
4. Lathers well
5. Nourishes the skin with the goodness of coconut oil, castor oil & glycerin
6. Doesn't melt too fast



Cons:

1. Wouldn't mind a better packaging

2. Would have preferred a stronger frangrance


Aster Luxury Bathing Bar - Rose is a great soap for all skin types. Loving the nourishing effect it is having on my skin. Overall, this soap is definitely a winner in my eyes.

Honestly, I have enjoyed using both the soaps from Aster. Have you tried their soaps?? If yes, which one.

Fab India Rose Soap Review & Price

Hello Everyone,

Happy Sunday! I'm back with a soap review... Too many soap reviews naaa... Next weekend no soap review! Promise! Today i'm reviewing a product which was featured in myFab India & Faces Haul. I'm going to review the Rose Soap.


About Fab India Rose Soap:


Get the spa like experience daily with the Fabindia Rose Soap. Rose acts as a natural astringent; helps tighten pores and restore suppleness for a glowing complexion. The Fabindia Rose Soap is infused with mild aroma which calm and sooths the mind. It protects the skin from sun damage. The natural oils found in roses help lock moisture into the skin, keeping skin feeling smooth. Rose is especially beneficial for those with sensitive skin because the sugars in its petals create a soothing feeling.

Ingredients: 

Soap Base (Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Stearate, Water, Propylene Glycol, Sugar, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate, Sodium Chloride, Disodium EDTA and BHT), Glycerine, Castor Oil, Aloe Vera, Neem Leaves, Neem Extract, Basil Oil.

My Experience with Fab India Rose Soap:

Fab India soaps are available in two size variants of 50 & 100 grams, I really like that. The 50 g variant is a travel bar and i find that very convenient for me. When i'm travelling I hate using the soaps which the hotels provide, at these times a travel bar can be your savior. Another reason why i love these travel bars is the fact that i don't like using very big soaps. I always cut my soaps. With this soap i don't need to cut. It fits perfectly in my palm.



Now, lets talk all about the soap. The Fab India soaps come in a very simple packaging.The Rose Soap is light pink in colour. It has a lighter fragrance in comparison to the Neem Tulsi Soap. The soap lathers a lot and cleanses the body really well. The soap doesn't make my skin dry.This soap lasted me for about two weeks and i'm satisfied wit h it.


Final Verdict:

I really liked using this soap. My skin felt good while using this soap and i loved the fragrance. If you like trying out new soaps then do try the Fab India Soaps. They aren't too pricey plus you get the benefit of trying out the travel bar and saving yourself a few bucks.

Have you tried Fab India soaps before?
