As y’all know by now, I (Deepika) am massively into handmade and natural skincare and hair care cosmetics so it’s no secret that today I will be reviewing two products that I purchased from Gia Bath and Body Works. Well, I have been purchasing products from Mrs Gayatri Brown over a year now and have never been disappointed. Mrs Brown is the brain behind Gia Bath And Body Works who delicately handcrafts some really wonderful and truly luxurious bath and body treats in her kitchen. Her brand is based in Mumbai and she ships worldwide.

The two products that I am going to review today are actually one product in two different variants.  Gayatri recently introduced an interesting and intriguing product called butter creme whipped soap.  Since I had never even heard about something called butter creme whipped soap let alone using it, I was very eager to use it. The butter creme whipped soaps are available in many variants but the ones that I have are cucumber melon and chocolate decadence.

My experience:

I absolutely love this unique product. I am fortunate to have discovered this through Gia Bath and Body Works as I have to give her the credit for introducing me to some absolutely unique and luxurious handmade products that I had not heard about before. The butter whipped crème soaps come in plastic jar with a silver coated screw top lid. The packaging is sturdy hence making it travel friendly and also the texture of butter whipped crème soaps is very thick so there’s no chance of spillage.



The cucumber melon variant smells so sweet yet exotic. It smells exactly like cucumber and melons whereas on the other hand chocolate decadence has a very different smell which is of course not close to chocolate (I think??) but it’s great nonetheless and it even looks like chocolate mousse, mmm. These whipped cream soaps are very easy to use and you need a very little amount as it lathers like crazy and I totally love the creamy lather is produces. The butter whipped cream soap leaves your skin clean, smooth and slightly moisturized so I generally skip applying moisturizer post bath. One major thing that I like a lot about the chocolate decadence variant is that post bath the smell lingers on for easily 3-4 hours whereas that's not the case with cucumber melon variant, I wish the scent lasted longer for the variant too. The product contains skin loving ingredients so it’s completely safe for everyday use and what more it’s vegan too.

Pros:
1. Natural, handmade, vegan and cruelty free
2. Contains skin loving oils such as EVOO, cocoa butter, virgin coconut oil etc.
3. Cleans effectively leaving skin moisturized and smooth.
4. Parabens, SLS, SLES free.

Cons: 
1. Availability, it’s not a con for me as I do not mind buying it online though it might be for some.

Will I recommend: YES!

We would love to hear from you. Do tell us if you have used this whipped creme soap or have ever used such kinda soap from a different brand.

Until next time,

Deepika

I am massively into handmade and natural skincare products, so it’s only natural for me to hunt for new handmade and natural brands based in India. I prefer handmade products over commercially available products as former are an excellent alternative to latter. They may seem pricier but trust me they last really long if used wisely and are cost effective. Coming back to the review one day I stumbled upon a brand called Juicy Chemistry which is based in Tamil Nadu run by a couple known as Megha and Pritesh Asher. I placed my first order with them after going through several reviews on their facebook page and today I am going to review one of the which product I had ordered.

About The Brand:

A Socio –Economic initiative for the cause of Children’s Education and Women Empowerment to promote quality products manufactured by Micro, Small and Self-Help Groups in a Not-For-Profit motive to assist women and children attain financial independence, quality education and create opportunity for a respectable livelihood.

About the product:

Made with the goodness of peppermint EO, tea tree EO and oil of magnesium, this nourishing foot cream is a must have for your tired soles. Our cream has anti-fungal properties, as both mint and tea tree help in protecting the feet from odor and infection. Oil of magnesia is great for tired feet and can provide instant relief to aching legs and feet.

Price: INR 500 for 75 gm
Shelf life: Six months from the date of manufacturing

My experience:

Firstly I really like their prompt service, I am assuming Megha handles the customer care by herself so she’s very prompt when it comes to answering queries and she did not get tired of answering my unending queries. My order was shipped within 24 hrs of making the payment and I received it on the 6th day and it makes sense since the order was shipped from Coimbatore to Lucknow and it does take very long. My goodies were neatly packed in a sturdy cardboard box.


The foot cream comes in a plastic jar which is sturdy and travel friendly. The cream is thick in texture so there’s no chance of spillage. I use the foot cream every day post bath and it keeps my feet moisturized for a good 3-4 hours however it barely does anything to repair cracked heels. It leaves a cooling sensation behind since it contains peppermint EO and it smells strongly of peppermint EO which reminds me of the bubble gum that I used to chew back in the day hehe. Overall, it’s a decent foot cream which I would definitely recommend to our readers as it’s perfect for summers since the ingredients in it moisturizes the feet and keeps odour at bay.

Pros:
1. Natural, handmade and cruelty free
2. Contains goodness of peppermint EO and tea tree EO
3. Moisturises and keeps odour at bay
4. Parabens and SLS free

Cons:
1. Availability, it’s not a con for me as I do not mind buying it online though it might be for some.
2. Price. I do find it pricey for the quantity that is being offered.

Will I recommend: Yes there's no harm in trying once.

Until next time,

Deepika
