Hello Friends!

Today I am going to review 'Omved All Skin Types Ubtan' which I recently purchased during my Organic Haul :) from Natural Mantra

Green lentil (moong) 24%

Black lentil (udad) 24%

Red sandalwood (pterocarpus santalinus) 24%

White sandalwood (santalum alba) 24%

Turmeric root (curcuma longa) 4%

Price:Rs 120 for 50 Grams

My Take On This Product:

I am a big fan of home made ubtans since my childhood as they impart flawless glowing skin with time and are devoid of any kind of harmful preservatives.Just storing them is difficult and must be prepared  freshly for each time use.Its almost impossible to prepare ubtan and apply when you are staying away from home.Several of my friends still use homemade face packs in dry form prepared my their momma.So lucky girls they are :p  

Anyways I recently came across this Ubtan and Omved is really a quite well known brand which makes Natural Cosmetics, so I ordered this Ubtan without thinking much.( I love hoarding Face Masks :p )The most wonderful fact about this product is that entirely 100% of the Ubtan is made up of natural ingredients and does not contain any kind of preservatives, fragrance or additives.It is made up of Green and Black Lentils, Red and White Sandalwood and turmeric.

This pack comes in a pouch like packaging which I do not like at all as we do not have refrigerator here and storing it is a pain.Once its open there are chances of contamination.Anyways I have poured the content in a small container and use it with a spatula.The ubtan is very fine and when mixed with water or rose water gives a paste of fine consistency.This ubtan initially smells of Red Sandalwood and after some time you get strong fragrance of Lentils.Within 5-7 minutes this pack tightens, if you you have ever used lentil pack you would know the feeling definitely. This ubtan gently cleanses and mildly exfoliates my skin.Though my skin feels tightened after the ubtan dries up, this actually gently washes off leaving very smooth radiant and clear skin.I suffer from uneven skin tone, my forehead is darker in comparison to rest of my face, so after using it for 2-3 times, I could see remarkable de-tanning of my fore head region resulting in even skin tone.

This ubtan removes dead cells effectively, suppresses pimples  and prevents occurrence of new ones too. After cleansing with it for some 4-5 times, my skin texture is improving now.However, I need a moisturizer after cleansing with it.I wont say it dries up my skin but it does not hydrate either. So I use a moisturizer after using it for sure.This ubtan would be very useful for oily, combination and Normal skin too.I have normal to dry skin so I add a bit of honey sometimes to this ubtan and apply.I am using it 2 times a week and seriously very happy with results.

Pros Of The Product:

-Devoid of Parabens, Phthalates, Artificial Fragrance, sulfates, Glycols or Petrochemicals. Synthetic colors.

-It comprises of 100% natural ingredients.

-Its a ready to use ubtan and quickly dries up, so can be used before any outing.

-Gently cleanses and exfoliates skin leaving smooth, radiant skin.

-This ubtan suppresses existing pimples and prevents occurrence of new ones.

-It helps in lightening of blemishes, especially post acne marks with regular usage.

-It helped my in de-tanning my fore head region too.

-Imparts even skin tone.

-Regular usage improves skin texture remarkably.

-Its a fine ubtan that gives right consistency when diluted.

-Helpful in removal of facial hair too.

-Its more of a skin treatment product, so can be used 2-3 times a week to improve skin health.

-One can skip using a scrub too, as this serves the purpose of scrub too.

-Though it tightens your skin within few minutes but its not over abrasive.

-Red Sandalwood is widely known for its skin regenerating properties.

-Though it contains turmeric but it does not leave any pronounced yellow cast on my skin.

-Price is pretty reasonable for the quantity and quality of the product.

Cons Of The Product:

-I would have liked it more, if it comes in a tub like packaging with a small spatula, the pouch like packaging increases the risk of contamination.

-Availability is a big issue.Available at few online shopping sites.

- It dries up within 5-7 minutes and has tightening effect.

-Imparts slightly yellow cast. (Does not stay for a long time though)

-It does not hydrate my skin so moisturizer is must after using it.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Will I repurchase it?

Yes after it gets finishes, I will repurchase it for sure.

My overall Recommendation: I will definitely recommend you this product. Dry skin beauties can however make a paste using yogurt or honey.

My Overall Experience with Natural Mantra.com

Hello Friends!

Recently I came across an online shopping site called Natural Mantra which exclusively stocks 100% Safe, Natural, Eco-friendly products.I came to know more about this fabulous site from Bhumika's Blog post HERE

Story Behind Natural Mantra:

When our daughter was an infant, she developed eczema and the commercial lotions we tried not only didn’t work, but they were filled with chemicals that caused her to have an allergic reaction.  So, we began a search for something non-toxic for our daughter’s skin.

After reading many labels and reviews, speaking with pediatricians, other moms, and scouring websites, we finally found an organic, natural solution that helped her.  In the process, we educated ourselves and found that – after living in the U.S. for five years and moving back to India – there was not one website or one store that combined natural, organic and eco-friendly products.  This was in direct contrast to what we experienced in the United States where we could go into most stores and find natural, organic products sitting on the shelves.

The Natural Mantra Vision

We started Natural Mantra to provide a one-stop shop for parents and eco-conscious shoppers with a wide selection of natural, organic and eco-friendly products. 

Why buy natural, organic eco-friendly products when they appear to cost more than seemingly comparable products?  Well, the truth is they are not in fact, comparable.  Products that are healthier for you, your family and the environment reflect a level of care, research and quality that the other mass-produced products lack.  Many people find the organic, eco-friendly products work more effectively and they need to use less because natural products tend to use pure, undiluted and uncontaminated ingredients.  Therefore, the little extra spent on natural products turns out to be the better value.

Not only is it a better value, it is an investment in the health of your children, yourselves and the future of our planet.  We believe that everyone should have access to safe, healthy, eco-friendly products. Every product you see on NaturalMantra.com is of the highest quality, natural, organic and eco-friendly at a competitive price. At NaturalMantra.com you will find some amazing earth-friendly products.  More importantly, this is the comprehensive source for sustainable products that come from passionate sellers for thoughtful shoppers like you. 

As a founder, I want you to ‘feel good’ not only about the products you buy but also about your complete customer experience.  I would like to welcome you to experience a world of unique, organic, sustainable lifestyle products that will change the way you shop.

Yours in good health and green living and a warm welcome to a sustainable natural living..

  

Natural Mantra takes the word 'Natural' quite seriously.So lets have a look at that:

 I was seriously impressed after reading it.

Each week,they add several new brands and products to their existing collection.I was very happy to see 'Lass Naturals' and 'Tvam' products in their site. 

Valentine Offer:

Currently an awesome Valentine offer is going on in their site, where you get a discount of Rs 250 on minimum purchase of products worth Rs 500.Do make use of this offer,its really fabulous.

My Haul:

My First Order.I have placed two more orders with them too recently! :p

I got this 100% Beeswax Tealight Candle for free. Yayee! This got such an awesome cinnamon kind fragrance, very soothing for senses.

A Note of Thanks from the Founder Nishant Nayak himself! I am really touched!  :)

 

This is NEEV Gift set.I am looking forward to use it very soon and review it too.

This Ubtan is the best one for de-tanning! I used it today and completely fell in love with it.

I bought this shampoo for getting relief from dandruff which is really affecting my hair this Winter.

My Take:

Since childhood, I love using home made products for my beauty and skin care regime.I always search for natural safe brands at shops wherever I go, but always return back with empty hands.Seriously this site has almost made my dream come true by bringing together all well known and 100% safe and eco-friendly products for all of us.Now without a guilt, I can indulge and shop a lot of Natural products for me and my family.I am kind of so happy that I have already placed two more orders with them.I have now decided to stick to Natural products and cosmetics as much as possible.I am very impressed with their service and concern.It took a while to receive my parcel, but they were equally worried too and promised me to give my money back in case I do not receive the parcel by this week.

Anyways When I received the parcel, I just could not wait even for a single second to unwrap the package and to have a look at the products I had ordered.You wont believe, the moment I opened the package there was an awesome Aroma coming from whole thing :p which lingered in my room for a long time.I used the Beewax candle that I got free with my order.Its fragrance was somehow similar to cinammon, it was really so refreshing!

The NEEV Gift set looked really good, each soap smells so heavenly.I will use the Olive Neem shampoo and Soaps, then review each of them on my blog.I used that Omved ubtan today, it was damn good sweeties, immediately removed tan and my skin has got so smooth and tightened.I am in love with all products.I wish them all the very best, please do add more such brands to your existing stock.This is kind of revolution in Indian Market, I am very sure people would surely switch over to these products in near future and dump all harmful products which are hazardous for our health.

They offer Free Shipping above an order worth Rs 1000, and charge Rs 50 for orders below it.They charge Rs 20 for Cash on Delivery option.I think they should lower the limit of Rs 1000 purchase for free shipping criteria, so that many people can shop wonderful stuff without any hesitation  from this site.

Overall, I am very impressed and  happy shopping from Natural Mantra site.I intend to purchase more products from this site because I truly believe that we all deserve this Naturally beautiful luxury!
