Conclusion

Pros

It is a vegetarian and cruelty free product.
It has seed oil from hand-picked moringa.
It is a light cream formula which absorbs beautifully in the skin.
It doesn’t make the skin greasy or oily.
It has tonnes of natural ingredients in it.
It makes skin soft and supple instantly.
The packaging is cute and simple and can be a good product while travelling.

Cons

It needs to be re-applied as it isn’t long-lasting. So, it is a nice product for summers.
The fragrance is very overpowering. Some call it mild, but its a little too much for me.

Yay or Nay

This is little tube of softness. The compact packing makes it idle for daily use even when you are out for work. The smell is genuinely of fresh moringa flowers. but if you’re someone like me who loves mild fragrances, you would like to give this product a miss.

So I conclude my today’s review. I hope you like it.

Until next time

Love
