Khadi Tea Tree Essential Oil Review

23 Replies

Hello lovelies!

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!!

Khadi Haldi Magic Cool Gel with Clove Oil Review

12 Replies

by Arshita

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?

 

Khadi Fresh Lemon Face Wash With Neem and Tulsi Review

10 Replies

by Arshita

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 :P

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.

Why I like this Face Wash?:

  • Cleans my skin.

Why I don’t like this Face Wash?:

  • Contains SLES, preservatives.
  • Smells like detergent powder.
  • Leaves a slippery effect.
  • Dries out my skin.
  • Not an herbal product.
  • Does not rinse off easily.

MABH Rating: 0.5/5. (Can be used in a crisis)

Do I Recommend?:

No.

Would I Repurchase?:

No!

Have you tried Khadi Lemon Face Wash? Hows it?

Khadi Herbal Cucumber and Aloe Vera Cleansing Milk Review

10 Replies

Hello girls!!

Today I would be reviewing cleansing milk from Khadi. After trying their neem shampoo I have picked this Cucumber & Aloe Vera natural face cleanser from Khadi.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 120 for 210 ml

 

My Take:

Previously, I was using Himalaya cleansing milk. It was good enough but was stinging my face at times. So, I thought its time to hunt for a better cleanser. That’s when I ordered this Khadi product. Since I was much satisfied with Khadi Neem Shampoo, I quickly picked this cleanser. This cleansing milk comes in a typical Khadi flip top cap packaging which is hard and sturdy making it travel friendly.

The texture is creamy and easily spreads on the face. I like the mild cucumber fragrance. The consistency is thicker than Ayur and Himalaya cleansing milk.

It requires a coin sized amount of the product to clean your face. It does a pretty quick job leaving my skin smooth. It is mentioned to rinse with water but I don’t see the need. I have not tried to remove make up as I prefer using baby oil for makeup removal.

PROS:

  • Cleans well
  • Paraben free
  • Pleasant cucumber fragrance
  • Reasonably priced
  • Makes skin soft and supple
  • Does not sting
  • Sturdy packaging
  • Natural ingredients

CONS:

  • Availability might be an issue

 

Rating: 4.3/5


So Do I Suggest this to You?:

Of course. Its great for the regular CTM routine.


Will I Repurchase?:

Definitely. I am super satisfied with this awesome product.

Khadi Herbal Neem Sat Shampoo Review

13 Replies

Hey girls,

Today I would be reviewing one of Khadi’s hair care product. I was quite satisfied with my Satinique shampoo that I have been using for years. I felt bored of it, so was thinking to change my shampoo for some time. I bought this shampoo around 2 months back from an e-commerce site and I am glad I picked it. Now, lets see how it worked on my hair.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 95 for 210 ml

 

My Take:

This is my first purchase from Khadi and I absolutely love this shampoo. This shampoo comes in a typical Khadi flip top cap packaging.

The first time I used it, I was so surprised with the product.I had squeaky clean hair without any dryness. The shampoo is green in colour and the consistency is little runny. The shampoo does not lather too much but definitely removes oil effectively from hair without drying the scalp. The best part is I don’t need a conditioner with this shampoo. I love the fragrance of neem (might sound strange but its got a very pleasing neem smell).

I didn’t experience any itchy or irritated scalp after using this couple of times. It lives up to its claim. Overall, I am glad I found a right shampoo for my hair. My hair fall has been arrested to certain extent with regular use of this shampoo. I even tried on heavily oiled hair, it did perfectly clean my hair. It does not add shine or bounce to my hair neither it claims so. Overall I am happy with the results and I highly recommend this lovely product. Now I am getting tempted to try other Khadi products too :)

PROS:

  • Cleans well
  • Reasonably priced
  • Completely herbal
  • Huge quantity
  • Very pleasing fragrance
  • Bye bye to itchy scalp
  • Leak proof makes it travel friendly

CONS:

  • Availability is an issue (I picked up from an e-commerce site)

 

Rating: 4/5


So Do I Suggest?:

I do. Give it a try girls. You will surely thank me :)


Will I Repurchase?:

I am not sure if I will repurchase it immediately.Though I love this shampoo, I wish to try their other variants as well.

Khadi Kesar Peeling Scrub Gel Review

10 Replies

Hello everybody!

Every time I write for MABH, I get so excitement down my heart that I cannot even express. :P So, coming back to the topic, how often do you use scrub? I honestly cannot live without it, if I don’t scrub for a week; I feel like my skin is full of dirt and dead cells (even if I do CTM daily). And I am reviewing today my all time scrub, Khadi Kesar Peeling Scrub Gel. I bought it online last year and still using it.


Price and quantity: 

Rs. 145 for 210ml. (I got it for Rs. 123)

 

My Take:

I have normal skin with T-zone oily and I use this scrub for my weekly scrubbing and also for my home facial scrubbing. To begin with, this scrub comes in a typical Khadi bottle, but luckily mine was bit sturdy. It has flip top cap.

The scrub is a reddish orange color gel with millions of black and off white granules. When applying it on the skin, it gives a nice cooling feel, and the smell is exactly like kesar mixed with some other herbs (the smell reminds me of Pass pass :P). It is thick gel and because of the packaging, after a few uses (when the level goes down), it becomes hard to get it out.

It purely cleans my skin, making it soft and supple. It rinses very well, without leaving any slippery effect. The granules are quite hard, so I don’t use it when I have pimples on my skin. It is directed to rinse with lukewarm water for better result; I totally get the idea when I use this scrub for my home facial. After scrubbing and getting steam, my face feels like baby’s skin and it glows, really!

Well, Khadi is quite known as herbal company, but there is preservative in the ingredient list (which breaks my heart). Other than that, I love this scrub, it may not be making my skin fairer or removes spots, but it cleanses my skin and makes it like baby’s skin. It does not dry out my skin nor needs no face wash after using this (Lotus Apricot Scrub needed face wash after).

When I ordered this scrub online, I thought it might be peel off gel as displayed on its name. But after trying it for the first time, I saw no peeling condition. I wondered why they would name it Khadi Kesar Peeling Scrub Gel if it is not for peeling, after 3-4 uses, I realized that it is called “peeling” because it peels the dead cells from skin and gives a new baby soft skin. :P

PROS:

  • Cleans well.
  • Easy to apply and remove.
  • Smells pretty well.
  • Travel friendly.
  • Fairly large amount.
  • Makes skin soft and smooth.
  • Leaves skin refreshing and cool.
  • Great for regular use.
  • Does not leave skin dry or oily.

CONS:

  • Contains preservative.
  • Granules can be quite harsh for acne prone skins.
  • Packaging is not perfect for thick gel.

 

Rating: 3.5/5 (-1.5 for preservatives)

 

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, it is a good scrub for regular use.

 

Would I Repurchase?:

Yes, absolutely.
