Iraya Basil and Mint Balancing Face Wash Review

This is a review of Iraya basil and mint balancing face wash for normal to oily skin. In Summers, our skin produces more sebum, so even dry skin goes normal. Therefore, this face wash would suit dry skinned people too in summers. It contains extracts of basil and mint essential oil, which clarify, soothe and tone the skin.

Balancing means something that creates a balance of natural oil in facial skin, by cleaning only the extra oil and not ripping the skin of too much oil and moisture.

Price: INR 345
Quantity: 150 ml / 5.07 Fl Oz
Shelf Life: 2 Years
Availability: You can buy from: Flipkart.com, Jabong.com, Joybynature.com or from Iraya stores in major cities. For discount, it is best to buy from Jabong.com as they offer 30-45% discount over weekends on a certain min purchase value, which includes beauty and skin care products too. There are sometimes good offers on purplle.com and nykaa.com too.



Most Iraya products come in either glass tubs or square plastic pump bottles with proper lamination. Pump is lockable but not travel friendly.

Brand claims and description:

Iraya basil and mint balancing face wash claims to deep clean without drying, purify and balance the skin by removing excess oil and impurities, leaving the skin refreshed and comfortable. This face wash does everything that it claims.

Best Natural Antibacterial Soap for Summers and Rainy Season

Soulflower Tea Tree Pure Glycerin 100% Vegan Soap

This is a review of Soulflower Tea Tree Pure Glycerin Soap, one of the best antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral soaps that keeps skin amazingly soft, hydrated and infection-free. It is one soap that I would re-purchase without any second thoughts.

At the end of the review, I have also suggested some other best soaps for summers and the rainy season, for keeping skin infections away while keeping your skin beautifully moisturized, healthy and supple.

Soulflower tea tree glycerin soap is small and shaped like a cupcake wrapped inside a cling film packing.

Brand Claims and Description:

Soulflower claims that this soap is 100% vegan and does not use any animal produce like milk or honey. The glycerin they use is produced naturally during the soap making process and they re-use it in their soaps.

"Tea tree oil is regarded as one of the strongest natural antiseptics known to man. Because of its ability to inhibit and kill growth of bacteria, fungi and viruses, it makes a great medicinal soap for cuts and scrapes as well as multi-purpose antibacterial and facial soap for everyday use. All you smell is the invigorating , minty smell of tea tree oil.
