Biotique Almond Oil Soap
What it claims: Pure vegetable, transparent cleanser for dry and sensitive skin. The making of this cleanser involves the blending of traditional Ayurvedic formulae. Recommended by doctors for people with sensitive skin. This soap is formulated with Coconut Oil and Almond Oil, and is for skin that needs extra care. It leaves skin clean and healthy looking. Regular use makes the body free from skin problems like ringworm, scabies and dermatitis infection.

 

Ingredients:

• Prunus amygdalus oil (Badam Tail) 0.2%
• Crocos nucifera oil (Nariyal Tail) 28.0%
• Melia Azadirachta oil (Neem Tail) 0.1%

• Purified Water (Parishrut Jal) Q.S.

Price: Rs. 70 for 150 gms bar

 

Pros:

 

1. Doesn't dry out the skin and leaves it feeling soft and clean.

2. Has a very mild fragrance that is not overwhelming

3. The block is pretty sturdy, despite the huge amount of oil in the soap, it does not melt or turn mushy over time. Also the 150 gm bar lasts pretty long (2-3 months)

4. It claims to keep the skin free from all skin problems & I find that to be quite true, I am even able to use this on my face without any dryness.

 

Cons:

1. While it doesn't leave the skin feeling dry, I do wish it would moisturise a little bit more.  

 

Will I repurchase: I have, many times over already. I like the mild fragrance of this product and also that it doesn't dry out my skin. The only problem being that in winters I have to use a body lotion if I use this soap.

Price: Rs. 70 for 150 gms bar

Pros
1. Has a nice fresh citrus scent, that lasts pretty long on the skin
2. Like the bar above this too lasts pretty long without turning mushy

Cons
1. The so-called orange peel granules in this soap are very, very abrasive. They actually hurt my skin. I tried using this a couple of times thinking that maybe over time the moisture would soften the orange peel. But nothing of the sort happened. Finally I had to throw this away, almost unused because I just could not bear to use it.

Would I re-purchase: No way! This is just too abrasive to be used even on areas like the back or legs.
