MAMAEARTH ALOE TURMERIC GEL FOR SKIN & HAIR REVIEW
Thursday, September 19, 2019
Have you ever noticed that whenever most of us hear the
term ‘Aloe Vera’, we always pay some extra attention. 😁 Undoubtedly, Aloe has some magical benefits. But not all products
based on Aloe Vera are excellent. In the market, there are hundreds of Aloe
Vera gels. Some are heavily scented, some are tinted, some are the sources of
all kinds of harmful chemicals.
What to do? Who to believe?
In the age of Social Media, sometimes, it is hard
to trust someone. People or brands can be very misleading. In the name of
serving ‘Natural’ products,
what kinds of ingredients a particular brand is using, is impossible to tell.
Most of the brands don't even provide the full ingredients list, which makes
the whole thing shadier.
Anyway, my search for Natural Aloe Vera Gel is
still on. And recently, I’ve come across a much-hyped product.
mamaearth Aloe Turmeric Gel
I have been using this Gel for the past 20 days.
And I think it's time to share my experience regarding this much-promoted
product.

My journey with Aloe Vera Gels:
This is the very first mamaearth
product I've ever used. They have been in the market for quite some time now.
We get to hear all the raves from most of the Influencers about their ‘natural’ products.
I didn't decide to buy the product because of the
raving, to be frank. I do not trust anyone except my own self in the
matter of Skin or Hair care. I genuinely keep my eye in the skin care
industry in search of an Aloe Vera Gel which would be
a) natural
b) a trust worthy brand
c) chemical and preservative free
I love Forest
essential’s Aloe Vera Gel, but they are just so
overpriced. You can go ahead and read the review here. Among other gels available in
the market, I have tried many, but everybody has failed terribly to match my
expectation. You can read about the famous The Face Shop Aloe Gel here.
Surprisingly, the Soundarya Aloe Gel from Patanjali suits me, but every time I use it, the green
color keeps me a little agitated. Is it really natural? I wonder. And there is
no full ingredients list available too.
Anyway, after all the 'natural' saga, I have decided to give mamaearth Aloe Turmeric Gel a shot.

My Experience:
I use Aloe Vera Gel every single day without
fail. As I have certain eczema-prone areas on my body, it soothes the
itchiness, calms down the redness, and inflammation big time.
I have been using this Aloe Turmeric Gel on my
skin for the last 20 days. Texture-wise, they are an exact match to the
Patanjali one. It is neither too runny nor very thick. It is very
smooth in form. This makes the Gel easy to apply and glide into the
skin. There is almost no fragrance except a faint hint. The smell is
just like any medicated fragrance-free gel if you’ve used it ever. The gel is in the light yellow color. I
guess it could come from the turmeric.
According to the brand, you can “Slather this gel from
head to toe to moisturize skin & hair, to soothe sunburnt or shaved skin,
and to soften dry or frizzy hair.”
One thing I am not at all happy about the brand is
the fact that they have NOT provided the full ingredients list, only
the key ingredients are mentioned. This is the first level on which one can
trust a brand completely. I don’t understand why these brands don’t do that. I just hope
they have not used any harmful chemicals or preservatives as they have claimed.
So far, it seems to be an 'ok' product. I am yet to try this on my hair.
But my husband has used it on his hair to give it a little texture. And it works
very nicely for that. I have thin eyebrows, and this Gel provides
an excellent definition to my eyebrow without using any brow product.
It is a good gel, not a magical gel that
once you start using this, all your skin problems will go out of the window. I don't think there
is any magical skincare available in the market at any price. Some products do
work wonders for our skin, and our skin definitely feels marvelous and magical. But to get
healthy, glowing skin from within, you need to eat healthy, exercise, maintain
a good lifestyle.
I think I am gonna continue using this for some time. This Gel has Aloe Vera
which soothes the irritated skin, calms down Acne and Turmeric which has excellent antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Together,
they will come handy in protecting the Skin.
Where to buy:
You can buy it directly from mamaearth website. I've got mine from there.
It is also available on Amazon India.

Let me know if you’ve known of any other awesome Aloe
Vera Gels. I would love to try them.
Cheers!!!
