Fab India Seabuckthorn After Bath Oil {Product Review}

This is the first time I have bought anything from Fab India. Unfortunately, the brand doesn't really tempt me but I have heard so good reviews of the Coral face pack from the same brand that I am desperate to get it but it is generally not available in the stores. And, regarding this product, Seabuckthorn is a really nutritious fruit which is extremely healthy for skin and hair so I was very excited to find this product available in the Indian market.

Price: 250 INR for 200ml

Ingredients
Sesame oil, Seabuckthorn oil, Almond oil, Soyabean oil, Coconut oil

My Experience
The oil is golden colored and smells sickly sweet which lingers on even after applying the oil. Otherwise, the oil is light and gets absorbed very quickly and doesn't feel sticky to touch. The skin feels soft and hydrated too after that. The moisturizing capacity is a little less compared to other oils so I will say it might not be suitable for extremely dry skin or in winters. But, otherwise, it is a very good oil for one to give it a try. The only problem I have with the oil is that Seabuckthorn oil is listed second in the list  and there are other oils too where as the product is supposed to be Seabuckthorn oil. I wish it was solely that. 

My Recommendation
Yes, it is a good oil for people who love oils on their body and can be tried once to decide.

Biotique Avocado Body Massage Oil {Product Review}

So, confusion about the ingredients in Biotique products has always existed. Similarly, it exists with this one too.

Price:135 INR for 210 ml

Ingredients
Rai Tail (0.5%), Badam Tail (1%), Neem Tail (0.5%), Til Tail (5%), Arandi Tail (7%) [castor oil], Dudhal Mool Kwath (1%), Ankurit Gehun Satva (2%) [Wheat Germ Oil], Vegetable Oil (Base)
As you can see above, there is no mention of avocado any where in the ingredient list and whats up with vegetable oil??? Which vegetable oil or is there some standard oil called 'Vegetable Oil'? When I searched for it, the wiki gives a list of oils which includes almost every edible oil. 

My Experience
This smells mainly of camphor. No camphor in the ingredient list. The oil feels cool on the body as opposed to warm being a massage oil which I am not sure if it is meant to feel like that. There is no drawback as such but I did not like the oil very much and I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone for any purpose.

My Recommendation
Doesn't make sense to write this review coz I don't really have anything to say about the product but I have written it coz I wouldn't recommend any one to buy this one coz it really does nothing frankly so its a waste of money. You can probably go for carrot oil in place of this though I haven't used that one and I have no idea how it is.
