I would like to apologize in advance if my review is sounding a little boring today. I am not keeping well and all I would like to do is sleep. However, I didn’t want to postpone this review and keep you all away from an amazing product.
In my last review, I had mentioned that I am using an aloe vera gel which is better than the Just Herb’s one (personally for me). This was introduced to me by a very good friend of mine who also has her own blog. I am in love with this gel I and am sure it will be a hit amongst you all too. I find this reasonably priced because I have been using a tub for the last 2 months and the quantity which is left would last me another 2 🙂
Also, aloe vera gel taken from the plant directly does not suit all and causes itching of the skin. This doesn’t have any side effects as such.
Price & Quantity: Rs 150 for 100 ml
Ingredients: Aloe Vera and Lemon Extracts
Shelf Life: 1 year
My Experience with Rustic Art Aloe Vera Gel:
Packaging: It comes in a sturdy transparent plastic jar with a white lid and a screw top. It is small and will fit in your handbags easily.
Colour, Consistency & Fragrance/Texture: The gel is transparent in colour, which is how natural aloe vera gel actually looks. It is a lightweight gel which smells faintly of lemon.
How it works: I love the gel. It’s my moisturizer for all seasons. I use it as a night cream, day cream. You name it! I have been using it for the past 2 months and this is the only gel which doesn’t irritate my skin or inflame it 🙂 I sometimes mix it with a little water and apply it all over my face. 10 seconds and its completely absorbed. The days when my eyes feel tired, I apply it all under my eyelids. It’s cooling (lasts about 10 seconds) and slightly fades away the dark circles. It has lemon which has anti-bacterial properties and acts as an astringent. This is a natural aloe vera gel in a plastic box 🙂
PROS :
- Can be used as an antiseptic gel
- Has anti-bacterial properties
- Soothing for skin rashes
- Doesn’t irritate sensitive skin unlike natural aloe vera gel
- No added chemicals
- No animal testing
- No animal ingredient
- No fragrance
- No colour
- Gets absorbed so fast
- Keeps skin hydrated
- Reduces dark circles
- Adds a light glow to face
- One tub comes for atleast 3 months
CONS:
- Unhygienic tub packaging 🙁
- I am not so sure about the ‘tan removing properties’
Rating: 4.9/5 (I removed 0.1 point just for the packaging.)
Do I Recommend: Yes Yes Yes 🙂 Sensitive skinned people will especially love this. My friend who used natural aloe vera gel(directly from the plant) complained of a burning sensation. So, I suggested this gel to her and she really found it better.
Would I Repurchase?: Absolutely Yes!
Wowwhoo.. I am the first one to comment 😀 I was waiting for this review since you have reviewed the Just herbs gel. I find this more natural than that one (As this one is transparent) and I am definitely picking one soon 😀
Hahaaaaaa….ur always the 1st to comment..:D

Sure I’ll do that 🙂 And Shruti, do you use this gel for your hair?

We would just like to add that we use only recyclable plastic for the packaging and try to keep the packaging minimal so as to avoid harming the environment. Some of our other products are packaged in cloth, handmade paper, etc.
We are soon introducing Rustic Art Aloe Vera Gel in recyclable plastic tubes. That should delight you further 😀
Thank you:D…
I love the idea of gel in tubes:)And I love the way your soaps are packaged with cloth..Do let me know wen it will be available in the tubes..can’t wait to buy:)
