Khadi Moisturising Cream with Rose & Aloe Vera - Review

What it claims: Gives Essential Minerals & Vitamins to the skin. Apply as regularly as needed.

Ingredients

• Rose: It has excellent emollient and hydrating properties, which helps the skin to stay soft and properly moisturized and fight any dryness and dehydration. The stimulating action of it on the other hand is a boon for fighting aging and maintaining a soft, dewy and youthful complexion.
• Aloe Vera: Skin care products with aloe vera increase the availability of oxygen to the skin and thereby aid synthesis and strength of the skin tissues.
• Neem Patra: a very good moisturiser, it is also antibacterial and helps speed up wound healing
• Tulsi (Holy Basil): high in antioxidants like Vitamin C, this helps heal sun and environmental damage incurred by the skin
• Daruharida (Berberis Aristata): antiseptic, prevents infection. Helps calm inflamed skin.
• Haldi (Turmeric): Turmeric removes fine lines, blackheads and dark circles under the eyes. Some manufacturers include turmeric in their products for its ability to lighten skin. Turmeric is able to decrease the activity of melanocytes (pigment producing cells) and it is already included in formulations for this reason
• Bramhi patra: Stimulates new cell generation
• Cream base & preservatives

Quantity: 210 ml bottle (have forgotten the price now).

Pros

1. What would it feel like if you combined the lightness and non-oiliness of a lotion with the nourishing power of a cream for dry skin? Goddess - Sent right?? Well, this is it. It is a cream as per the label, but is so light and non-oily that I actually thought it was a lotion until I carefully read its label. It absorbs instantly into the skin but is so nourishing that 2 drops in the morning take me through the entire day without need for replenishment.

Perfect for this hot summer, when my dry skin needs intense nourishing but without the oiliness.

2. Perfect as base for makeup. Thanks to its non-oily nature, it is a perfect base for makeup.

3. This light pink lotion smells really nice - of roses, but tempered with something else I can't identify.

4. Very good for dry skin - I started to use this when I came back from a trip - sun burnt with raw, dry patches. Within 3 hours of applying this, my skin had started to recover and look normal again.

5. The flip cap bottle ensures minimum contamination of product during usage.

Cons
1. The ingredient listing is not complete - it does not give any % for the constituents

2. Difficult to locate. Khadi products can be notoriously difficult to find. Sometimes they go out of stock for months on end. I have been looking for their honey - rose red colored face wash since the last 4 months with no success.

Will I repurchase: If I can find this, yes!

This has become an essential part of my morning routine these summers. I am actually very happy with the quality of Khadi products. They are a little expensive, but the are amazing for the skin.
