I’m not
much of a product junkie, and my buying patterns were usually based on the
product claims. That is really lame, I know and I have been mending my ways.
Nowadays, I’m trying to be more aware of the ingredients in the product I buy,
and also if it’s safe and not tested on animals. I’ve found that rather than do
a complete research on every product I buy, it gets easier if I do the same on
a brand and then trust all the products from their line.
One such
brand that has garnered a lot of trust is Omved. The first time I saw this name
was in a magazine and since then it’s been everywhere; a lot of people are
loyal fans and swear by their products. My curiosity was piqued, so when I got
a chance to review a product from their skin care line, I grabbed it.
Name of
the product: Omved Daily Night Foot Oil
Price:
Rs. 690.00 for 80 ml
Shelf
Life: 2 years
Review:
The bottle arrived packed neatly and securely in a cardboard box filled with
bubble wrap and the bottle itself was bound in plastic.
The
bottle clearly mentions the product’s USP – no parabens, sulfates, silicones or
any harmful chemicals.
The oil
is dispensed in an easy to use pump, which is great, since there is no chance
of wastage or spillage, which can be quite nasty when it comes to oils. The oil
itself is transparent; you can barely see it here in the palm of my hand:
The best
part about this oil is that it is not sticky. It is smooth and glides easily on
skin and makes my feet feel instantly moisturized and soft. It is best to wear
socks after application so that the oil doesn’t rub off on to the sheets and it
gets a chance to work on your feet all night long.
The only
problem, if you can call it that, is that the smell might not appeal to
everyone, especially if they are not used to natural or organic products. The
smell reminds me of my grandmother’s house and has a nostalgic feel to it, but
if you’re used to synthetic smells from regular drugstore products, it might
take a little getting used to.
Would I
recommend this? I most certainly will. At first glance, it appears a little
steep for the pocket, but the fact is that one bottle will last you a really
long time, since just a few drops of oil are sufficient for a massage. I like
the packaging too, it has an elegant, old world feel to it :).
If this
review has got you interested, you can go ahead and order your bottle from
here. And if you have already tried it out, do let me know how it worked for
you!!

Is Omved owned by Dabur? I don't know why I thought so, but is it? I wanted to know because Dabur is not cruelty-free and I am trying to use as cruelty-free brands as possible. :)
ReplyDeleteHey hi! No No Omved is not owned by Dabur! I have been using Omved products for the past 4 years now and I can assure you that it is absolutely organic and natural. They don't even do animal testing!
DeleteSrishty, I think you've got your answer :). Now there's nothing to worry!
