Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic Aromatic Skin Toner Review

Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic Aromatic Skin Toner Review

By Monika

Hello everyone!!!

I was on the lookout for a natural, economical skin toner to add to my night routine since I kept reading about the importance of a good CTM routine (cleansing, toning and moisturizing) and the wonders that it can do to your skin if, followed religiously. Out of the toners available in the market aroma magic toner appealed to me the most since, only natural ingredients were used in making this toner and considering the price it seemed like a good bet. So, without further ado I went ahead and purchased my very first toner from Purplle. To know my views on the same continue reading.

Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic Aromatic Skin Toner Review, Indian Beauty Blog, Skincare

Directions for use: Spray onto face directly or on a small piece of cotton and dab onto face. Avoid the eye area. Use me morning and night after cleansing. Follow it up with the oily skin oil.

Ingredients: Aqua, punica granatum juice, glycerol, hamamelis, Virginia leaf water, punica granatum extract, rosmarinus officinalis essential oil, canaga odorata essential oil, lavandula angustifolia essential oil, mentha piperita essential oil.

Claims

  • Free of alcohol, parabens, petrochemicals, phthalates, artificial fragrance and color.
  • Cleanses and tones without drying out the skin.
  • Renews the skin cells and increases the circulation in it.
  • Prevents moisture loss.
  • Acts as a natural astringent that calms and balances the skin.
  • Delivers vital nutrients and vitamins to the skin.

Price and quantity: Rs 170 for 200 ml

Shelf life: 3 years from the date of manufacture.

My experience with the product

The product comes in a transparent bottle with a flip cap. Even though, it says on the bottle that one can spray the toner directly onto the face but it is not necessarily possible to do that, with a flip cap. The cap is not that sturdy and is prone to leakage so I wouldn’t recommend carrying it around while travelling. The name suggests that the toner is aromatic but to my dismay it has an extremely mild fragrance and I am not a big fan of it.

The toner has water like consistency so one has to use a cotton pad to apply onto the face. I apply this toner at night on cleansed face especially, avoiding the eye area as said on the bottle because the under eye area being even more sensitive is prone to drying. After applying the toner I leave it on for a few minutes to dry and then, follow it up with a moisturizer. The colorless toner does clean the skin but cannot double up as a makeup remover.

Since, I have oily skin I bought the one meant for the same but, it doesn’t control the oil secretion or reduce breakouts. However, it does tighten the pores and soothes the skin which is fairly good for a toner at this price range. Considering the fact that the product is a bit drying and is meant for oily skin I don’t see any reason why people with dry skin should use this toner.

I would like to conclude by saying that this economical toner doesn’t do much apart from tightening the pores and I would definitely not repurchase this since, I would like to try the new ones in the market and find the one that best suits my skin.

Pros:

  • Tightens pores
  • Calms the skin of any irritation
  • Free of alcohol, parabens and petrochemicals
  • Not tested on animals
  • Easily available
  • Economical

Cons:

  • Not travel friendly
  • Doesn’t control oil secretio
  • Can be a bit drying
  • Extremely mild fragrance (contradictory to the name)

Rating: 3.5/5

Final word

All in all, this toner hasn’t been one of my best buys but, people looking for a decently priced toner can give this a shot and find out how it works for them.

Editor’s Note: Nice Review Monika, I usually like Aroma Magic products, this one seems to be ok. I have tried most of their face packs though, love them.

Aroma Magic Almond Nourishing Cream Review

Aroma Magic Almond Nourishing Cream Review

By Pallavi

Hello beautiful souls,

As you all might know that there are majorly two types of skins – dry and oily skin. All other skin types fall into broad categories of these two only. I am a dry skinned girl. And when i say dry skin i mean severe dry skin. My lips are dry and badly chapped all round the year. I have to apply a thick cream like boroline on my lips all round the year. And about my skin i need to apply body moisturisers at least on every alternate day even in summer. And coming back to my face, i apply light moisturisers like aloe vera in summers. But here when winters are knocking on your doors, i need something strong for my face. I need a strong moisturiser which will heal my dry skin.

Since Aroma magic is one of my favourite skin care brand, i decided to trust on AM products. Thus, without further delay, i opted for their Aroma Magic Almond Nourishing Cream.

Read along to know if it’s worth your skin or not.

Product description: Aroma Magic Almond Nourishing Cream is a hydrating skin cream that is rich in vitamin A, B & E. It prevents the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, dry skin, dark circles.The blend of Neroli and Jasmine essential oils prevents moisture loss, regenerates cellular tissues as well as slows down skin ageing process and restores its elasticity, texture and firmness. Benefits Reduce fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles effectively Makes skin soft and smooth. Slows down the process of skin aging Brings back skin elasticity.

Direction to use: Dig your finger inside the tub. Take out the cream and apply the cream in dots all over your face. Cover the neck area too. Now, join the dots and blend the cream smoothly.

Price: Rs.350 for 50 grams (BUY HERE at Rs.325)

Shelf life: 36 months from packaging

My experience with Aroma Magic Almond Nourishing Cream

Aroma magic almond nourishing cream comes in wide small sized carton. Inside which there is a small but wide tub. The packaging of the tub and the carton is like snowy winter. It reminds that this is a perfect winter moisturising cream. Inside the tub there is a lid covering which acts like an extra layer of protection for the cream. Once the lid is removed the cream smells heavily of almonds. This is very natural and soothing smell.

Texture wise the cream is heavy. You need to blend the product to sink it into the skin. You will have to invest a lot of time to blend the product thoroughly. After which also, you are sure to feel the stickiness of the product. It is really an uncomfortable feeling. You can remove this feeling by applying only a bit of product.

Now, coming to the performance of the product it is really 100% moisturization cream. It provides moisture to my face like never before. Trust me there are very few creams which works in winters for me. And this worked like a magic. It healed and moisturised my skin like never before. It made my skin really soft and supple within a week of usage only. And my skin is like soft and hydrated just like summers before even the tub finished. I use it as a night cream because in that way i don’t have to worry about the chip-chip part. And by morning it’s all back to normal. Even then i apply a strong face wash. You can apply it in the morning too but make sure you apply only a little amount.

Pros of Aroma Magic Almond Nourishing Cream

1. Herbal skin care brand

2. Impressive ingredients list

3. Packaging attractive

4. Cream is perfect for winters

5. Heals extremely dry skin

6. Makes skin soft and supple

Cons of Aroma Magic Almond Nourishing Cream

1. Almond smell may not be appreciated by everyone

2. Feels quite heavy on skin

3. Can cause pimples or clog pores for oily skinned

Final verdict – this cream is a boon for dry girls in winters. But oily skin people should stay far as much as possible.

Aroma Magic Oxy Pack Review

Blossom Kocchar Aroma Magic Oxy Face Pack Review


What the Company claims: Helps to oxygenate the skin to keep cells flexible. Removes waste and toxins and boost circulation.The natural botanicals fights free radicals, regenerates cell metabolism, helps hyper pigmentation and lightens the skin.

MRP: Rs. 120/- for 20g, Rs. 215/- for 50g and Rs. 655/- for 200g (Its available for Rs. 102/- and Rs. 183/- on Stylecraze )

Active Ingredients: Grape Fruit, Seaweed, Aloe Vera, Vitamin A & C & Hydrolysed Protein, & Pure essential oils of Chamomile, Patchouli, Lavender and Neroli.

Usage : Apply Aroma Magic Oxy Face Pack on face and wipe off after 20 minutes. Alternatively mix 1/2 tsp of Aroma Magic Oxy Face Pack with 1/4th teaspoon of Enzyme Peel Scrub to make a paste and apply onto face. Wipe off after 20 minutes. Use morning & night.

I have the 50g pack..you can try the 20g pack if you find it..but generally the 50g pack is available everywhere…

It comes in a tub form and is transparent gel like..it does not have any particular smell. You just need a dollop of it and spread around a thin layer on face. Keep it for 20 minutes and it would start drying a little and then wash off…

Pros:

1. This is the best face pack I have used ever !
2. I guess now the other pros are not even needed but still..it does what it claims.
3. It does lighten your age spots or scars and would also remove your tan.
4. The best thing is the effect it gives does stay and it does not give temporary results which go away in a day or two.
5. Skin is softer, smoother and glowing.
6. It does not give a dry or stretchy feeling..and feels fine even after 20 minutes.
7. Totally worth the price..the quantity of 50g would last 12-14 times which is super cheap compared to what one would spend in parlors or salons.
8. I guess the perfect blend of ingredients and essential oils makes it that good.

Cons:

1. Comes in a tub..difficult to use and unhygienic too.
2. Aroma Magic only states the active ingredients on all its products. They should give complete ingredients too.

I do not have any other cons for it. After the Aroma Magic Mineral Glow Scrub this is another hit with AM !

Overall I love it a lot and I surely recommend it to everyone !

MRP : Rs. 80 for 60 gm tube

How I use it : I apply this all over my damp face.Keep it on for 10 mins and then while washing it off..scrub gently. Thus its a face pack cum scrub. It removes dead skin cells and helps in combating ingrowth if used on hands and legs.

Pros:

1. A very gentle soothing scrub.
2. Skin feels super soft and glowing after using it.
3. Helps in removing white heads.
4. Also helps in ingrowth on hands and legs by removing dead skin cells.
5. Contains essential oils and BHA’s too.
6. Does not dry out the skin.

Cons:

1. The tube..it does not close completely..hence not travel friendly.
2. Only active ingredients are mentioned.
3. Does not help in blackheads as it claims…and I am not sure about wrinkles or fine lines..
4. Would be expensive if used on hands and legs as it will finish off soon.
5. The smell….some people might not like it…though I don’t have a sensitive nose and I am ok with it.

Overall I quite love it..my go to face pack cum scrub..my HG ! Totally recommended.

Blossom Kochhar’s Interview

Excerpts from Blossom Kochhar’s Interview :

Blossom Kochhar is a pioneer in the field of aromatherapy for long. The lady has been a stalwart in promoting healthy lifestyle with her indigenous products, the beneficiaries of which include top-class national and international clientele. Mrs Kocchar turned her belief in the therapeutic properties of essential oils and natural fragrances into a lifestyle concept and industry with great success.

The beauty expert had a chit chat with Bikas Bhagat of Spicezee.com and gave some valuable information on the benefits of aromatherapy and tips to enhance beauty. Following are the excerpts:

Q: What inspires you to create natural products?

Blossom: Your skin inspires me to create natural products. Your skin is breathing…living and is a part of you. What you eat should have the property that it can be put on your face and whatever you put on your face should be edible. My products go through many-many years of testing before they are introduced.

Q: How does aromatherapy help in enhancing beauty?

Blossom: Aromatherapy is excellent for the body, mind and soul. You can use essential oils for massage, for instance, you can use them in your bathwater, after shower, and for any stress related ailments like body ache, hormonal problems, sinus, headache and migraine. Or you can try lavender for stress and ache. Then there is ‘ylang ylang’ to pep you up and Jasmine to lift you from depression. Sandal wood is also excellent oil.

Q: With monsoons coming what are the special things that one should keep in mind for perfectly healthy hair and skin?

Blossom: During the monsoons, cleanse your skin regularly with a good face wash. Don’t use any heavy moisturizer or creams; exfoliate twice a week with a good scrub. Cleaning hair is very important. Shampoo often as hair tends to get dirty, and dry your hair before braiding to avoid fungal infections.

Q: How would you define beauty?

Blossom: Beauty is holistic, it has to deal with your body, mind and soul and when everything is in harmony the person is beautiful.

Q. What’s your take on cosmetic surgery and Botox treatment? Are there any side effects?

Blossom: Well, they are basically beauty enhancement treatments and in most cases, they are adopted only if there is dire need for it. I mean if you are in a line of work which demands you to look glamorous, say like in showbiz, then there is no harm. However, these operations should only be done after a certain age and youngsters should refrain from such procedures instead they should rejuvenate themselves with aromatherapy.

Q: What can people do to reduce stress? Please suggest.

Blossom: We would recommend you to go for aromatherapy. Get yourself a diffuser, add a little water on the top of the diffuser, light a candle and add a few drops of Peach or Lavender oil. The oils can also be used in bath water, on the pillow and you can also use it in a potpourri.

Q: Can you tell us something about yourself? What all do you do – only aromatherapy or regular beauty treatment and makeup also?

Blossom: I also do make up, beauty and hair as well as skin care and spa therapy. I teach Reiki and play golf.

Q: Which celebrity do you think has the perfect skin tone and hair?

Blossom: Priyanka Chopra and…yes this pretty girl Katrina Kaif.

Q: We have heard that there are some international stars visiting your store for beauty and essential oils…

Blossom: It was only some time back that at our Qutub Colonnade store, we had a surprise visitor one day – Richard Gere. He walked into the store once and picked up ‘Dreams` (an essential oil). Ever since, whenever he’s in Delhi on his way to Dharamshala, he drops by at the store.

What do you people think ? Do you like Blossom Kocchar and her products ?
