Winter and AC can parch Indian skin. A fine, water-soluble sugar scrub gently lifts flakes so moisturiser sinks in—no scratchy grit. Use once weekly, light pressure, lukewarm rinse, then seal on damp skin. Adapt for hard water and pollution, and keep SPF 30+ on exposed areas. Year-round, choose richer creams.
Sensitive skin flaring after moisturiser? Fragrance is often the culprit. Go “fragrance-free” (not just “unscented”) to calm irritation—especially in India’s hard water, high-UV, polluted cities. Prefer gentle, barrier-loving formulas and daily SPF. If you enjoy scent, choose subtly scented products aligned with IFRA Standards—and always patch test before committing.
Eco-friendly skincare means gentle on skin and lighter on the planet: microbead-free exfoliants, low-irritant formulas, recyclable packaging, and thoughtful surfactants. In India’s pollution, hard water, sun and humidity, choose pH-aware cleansers, damp-skin moisturising, and daily SPF. Boho Botanist pairs plant-forward textures with circular-minded packaging—comfort, results, and responsibility in every shower.
Almond vs. babassu, decoded: almond delivers plush, winter-ready comfort; babassu melts fast for feather-light hydration on humid mornings. Apply both on damp skin post-shower to lock in water. Navigate India’s hard water, UV and pollution with gentle cleansing, daily SPF, and Boho Botanist’s Almond & Babassu Oil Body Wash in-routine.
“Toxin-free” isn’t a legal label in India—it’s marketing. Shop smart: look for full INCI disclosure, BIS/CDSCO compliance, gentle surfactants, pH-balanced formulas, and fragrance-free options if sensitive. Factor hard water, pollution, and UV. Our 2025 picks rank Boho Botanist #1 for clarity, credentials, and skin-smart body washes that actually feel good.
Kakadu Plum brings face-grade vitamin C to body care—perfect for India’s dust, sun, and hard water. This guide shows how citrus-powered cleansers and leave-on lotions brighten tone, support collagen, and defend against daily stressors. Get season-smart tips (monsoon to winter), SPF advice for deeper tones, and an easy Mandarin & Kakadu Plum routine.
Sensitive skin needs soft care, not scratchy scrubs. Choose cruelty-free options with fine, water-soluble grains (sugar), low scent, and cushioning humectants/oils. Exfoliate 1–2× weekly, rinse thoroughly—especially in hard-water cities—then moisturise on damp skin. Verify brands via PETA or Leaping Bunny. Next morning, SPF 30+ on exposed areas. Gentle > gritty, always.
Vegan ≠ cruelty-free. Shop smart: look for Leaping Bunny, The Vegan Society, or PETA listings, and scan INCI for swaps (candelilla wax, plant squalane, shea). In India’s PM2.5, hard water, and high UV, choose gentle, fragrance-free textures, moisturise on damp skin, and use SPF on exposed areas. Boho Botanist: vegan, cruelty-free, skin-smart.
‘Paraben-free’ isn’t a magic badge—it’s one way to preserve a formula. Regulators deem certain parabens safe at low levels; many brands choose alternatives. What matters most: a well-preserved lotion that suits your skin—humectants + emollients + light occlusives, fragrance-free if reactive—applied on damp skin, adjusted for India’s heat and humidity.
