Vaadi Herbals Heavenly Lavender Soap Review

Hi everyone..................

Today im going to review Vaadi Herbals Heavenly Lavender Soap..............

Cost: Rs.33 for 75g 

Shelf Life: 36 months from date of manufacture.

What the company claims: A refreshing and skin re-vitalizing complex of Lavender and Rosemary, this soap breathes new life into your skin. Together they boost the blood circulation, relieving congestion and puffiness. They also moisturize the skin and promote cellular regeneration.
  • Lavender: Promotes Cellular Re-growth. Hydrates skin
  • Rosemary: Stimulates Circulation and Skin Regeneration.
The pack also says that this soap is a handmade soap with essential oils.

Ingredient List: Extracts of lavender and rosemary, Lavender essential oil, Olive oil, Coconut oil, Palm kernel oil, Shea Butter.

My Experience:  I have been using this soap for around a week now and have found it to be an above average soap. It cleanses the skin well and provides average moisturization  as well. The smell of the soap stays on u for quite some time(around 3-4 hours). The bar of soap is quite sturdy and does not melt away. One bar will last u a month. The soap contains  many natural ingredients and essential oils, so i guess it will benefit the skin on the long run. But i did not like the smell of this soap as it is a bit strong. Also, i felt that the soap was over packaged. It was inside one outer cardboard box and then two plastic covers.



 


Summing up the Pros and cons:

Pros: 
1. It contains natural ingredients.
2. The soap is quite sturdy and does not melt away.
3. The smell of the soap stays on u for quite some time (round 3-4 hours). 
4. It does keep the skin fresh and hydrated for sometime.
5. Vaadi Herbals does not test on animals.

Cons:
1.The smell of this soap was too strong.

Overall, i like Vaadi Herbals soaps because they contain natural ingredients and are not tested on animals. But,i will not be buying this variant again because of it's strong smell. I will try out other Vaadi Herbal soaps....

Hope this review helped..... :)
