How are you all doing? Today I’ll be reviewing a very versatile essential oil – Tea tree oil from a well known Indian brand Khadi. I got acquainted with this oil and its properties when I was suffering from severe nasal congestion and cold because of my allergy. Since then it’s been 7 years I haven’t stopped using it and I use it in various ways as well.
Tea tree oil has antiviral, antiseptic, antibiotic, anti fungal and stimulant properties, hence it has multiple uses and benefits. This makes it popular for hair, skin care and aromatherapy as well. Now read on to know my experience with it and how I use this oil!!
How are you doing amigos? Today, I am reviewing Khadi Haldi Magic Cool Gel. I bought this almost one and half year ago and here are the details of this product.
Claims of the Skin Gel:
An ayurvedic cleansing gel with extract of turmeric which removes dirt and pollutions from the skin pores. It is also an antiseptic pores cleanser.
Price and quantity:
Rs. 130 for 210ml.
Key Ingredients:
Turmeric, Aloe vera and Clove oil
Usage Directions:
Take required quantity on cotton; rub on face elbow and neck for 5 min. Clean with cotton.
Shelf life:
24 months.
My Take on Khadi Haldi Magic Cool Gel:
Khadi Haldi Magic Cool Gel comes in a transparent bottle with a flip top cap. The bottle is not sturdy, but the cap is. The gel smells like turmeric and clove which is very nice. It is a thick yellowish off white gel with some minced turmeric within it.
When applied on the skin, it feels cool instantly. The thick gel spreads on the skin very easily. I used it as it was directed on the bottle, but the result was messy. I applied it and then rubbed it with fingers and cleaned it with wet cotton. But not even 1% of dirt was cleaned; only the gel and the turmeric particles came off. Also, not washing it off made my skin sticky at that moment and after sometime it starts to itch. So, I needed to wash it off.
So, actually the product is full of confusion in itself, I don’t think it is a cleansing gel; neither it is a gel to leave on. I used it as summer gel, after cleansing my skin with actual cleanser; I used to leave it on my skin for a few minutes and washed off. It did no good and no bad to my skin. I don’t remember what I was thinking when I bought this. I don’t have any personal grudge against the brand Khadi, I in fact love some of its products, but this Khadi Haldi Magic Cool Gel is totally worthless to me.
What I like about this Gel?:
It gives a cool feel.
What I don’t like about this Gel?:
Contains preservatives.
Not a cleanser.
Usage direction seems incorrect (to me).
Does nothing to my skin.
Itches when left on as directed.
Price is too high for the quality.
MABH Rating: 0/5.
Do I Recommend?:
No. I know you are not crazy like me, so don’t go for it.
Would I Repurchase?:
No!
Have you tried any cooling gels till date? Which is your favorite skincare gel?
Howdy friends! I love trying and searching new face washes and when it comes down to herbal products, I get it as soon as possible. So, I bought Khadi Fresh Lemon (with Neem and Tulsi) Face Wash last year and I will review it for you today. Here are the details.
Claims of the Face Wash:
An Aloe vera and Tulsi with Glycerine based face wash which cleanses the skin and gives nourishment to the skin. Ideal preparation for face wash.
Price and quantity:
Rs. 60 for 100 ml, Rs. 120 for 210 ml.
Key Ingredients:
(In each 1000 ml contains) Citrus Lemon 1g, Citraus Reticulate Blanco 3g, Ocimum Sanctum 3g, Aloe vera 10ml, Glycerine 5ml. SLES 350ml., Preservative 3.5g, Purified water to make 1000ml.
Usage Directions:
Rub into wet face and hand, massage well and wash off.
Shelf life:
24 months.
My Take on Khadi Fresh Lemon Face Wash:
Khadi Fresh Lemon (with Neem and Tulsi) Face Wash comes in a slim transparent bottle with a flip top cap. The bottle is quite sturdy but the cap is not. I broke the flip within a few days 😛
It is a thick transparent yellow color gel. The weird thing about this face wash is it smells like detergent powder (Really!) It lathers well and only a small amount is enough. It cleans well, but leaves a slippery effect that won’t go ever (even after 15-20 splashes and rubbing). It makes my skin dry after washing, and I feel an urge to apply moisturizer right after it. I have not seen any good effect after using this face wash, other than washing my face. But the gel itself gives me the feel that how much chemicals are infused in it; also it contains SLES and Preservative.
I have used many face washes right from Lakme Fruit Blast to Ponds Activated Carbon Face Wash to Clean & Clear Face Wash, but honestly, had not experienced this bad! I have used it only for a few days until I bought a different face wash. And ever since I am using it as my pedicure wash. Khadi is one of my favorite herbal brands; I loved Khadi Triphala hair oil, Khadi Kesar Peeling Srcub Gel, Khadi Jasmine Massage Oil, but it breaks my heart when I see products like this. Overall, it’s a total waste of money while doing harm (SLES and preservatives) to my facial skin.
