When it comes to skincare and other bath and body luxuries – I am extremely choosy and I tend to look out for the options that are free from parabens and other harmful chemicals etc. I always love organic skincare products. For holiday 2017, I was given this Travel Gift Set by the wonderful Ma Earth Botanicals team and I must say that I am super impressed with their products.

Established in 2013, Ma Earth Botanicals is a skincare and haircare organisation based in New Delhi, INDIA handcrafting a luxury line of products using pure aromatherapy oils and the natural blessings of Mother Earth. All of their products are handcrafted and contain no artificial ingredients, chemical preservatives, synthetic additives, artificial fragrances, SLES, parabens and sulphates. Made using highest quality 100% pure essential oils, sustainably sourced vegetable oils and unrefined butters that are cold pressed to preserve their natural goodness and healing properties. None of Ma’s products are tested on fellow animals.

I like it as a everyday shampoo. As I have a medium thick hair- I got about 4 washes from this 50 ml bottle. I like the smell of this one.

Because of it’s mix of medicinal ingredients – I find it smelling as natural ever! The mix of Reetha, Shiakai, Amla etc. Very natural. It’s a gel like shampoo and It doesn’t lather much like the commercial shampoo. But, does pretty good job in cleansing the scalp and taking away all dirt etc. Hair felt bouncy, soft and it gave good volume to hair after washing which I really liked. I felt my scalp clean. NO itchiness or any hair fall issues etc.

Brand claims that it helps hydrate skin, tighten pores and remove surface impurities without drying the skin. Especially beneficial in polluted and humid environments.

All you need is spritz onto face after cleaning or just to refresh anytime during the day or night. I like how natural this one is. There is no overpowering smell or any colorants or fragrances or other harmful chemicals added to this. It didn’t irritate my sensitive skin.

I used it right after cleansing. I soaked a cotton pad in this and swiped it all over my face. it feels very fresh when using this. Love it.

It’s not a best product in my opinion. I Think the ingredient list has non natural items as well. Consistency of the product is gel like, little runny in consistency and it lathers pretty well.

The refreshing citrusy note instantly uplifts your mood too! Scent doesn’t linger for long. But, it’s very refreshing when using it. It cleanses the skin very well and at the same time leaves the skin supple and soft. For winters, You will need a extra layer of moisture for your body.
