Product Claims of Tattva’s Herbs Organics Enlightening Skin Cream
If you find yourself wondering about the various skin lightening products on the market, read our review for Tattva’s Herbs Organics Enlightening Skin Cream. This product claims to produce many results for those struggling with uneven skin tone. It promises to improve the clarity, discoloration, and texture of the skin - leaving it naturally hydrated. Let’s investigate these claims.
Ingredients
- Calendula officinalis (Marigold)
- Curcuma longa (Turmeric)
- Hemidesmus indicus
- Sandalwood
- Xanthan gum
- Glyceryl monostearate
- Cetyl alcohol
- Potassium Sorbate
The manufacturer has clearly expressed that this is a natural product that contains only fully certified organic ingredients. It is also stated that there are no GMO herbs and that it is dairy, gluten, wheat and soy free. The first ingredient on the list is Calendula officinalis, or Marigold, which is a flower that could possess medicinal and anti-inflammatory properties. Secondly, we have Curcuma longa (Turmeric), which has known antiseptic properties and is suspected to have some effect on the skin lightening process. Sandalwood has skin whitening properties and has been used in traditional home remedies for this purpose. Xanthan gum is the main binder found in this cream. Unfortunately, as it is an exopolysaccharide derived from the organism Xanthamonas campestris - it can never be completely organic in nature. Glyceryl monostearate is an emulsifying and thickening agent that is also a fatty acid found in the body. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol that actually hydrates, unlike its counterparts. And while Potassium Sorbate is found in certain berries, the type that is used in cosmetics for its light preservative function is not organic and is made in a laboratory.
Instructions
The instructions for this product is quite limiting and the manufacturer does not offer much detail on how to best use this lightening cream. Apply this cream, to the darker areas where you would like to lighten the skin, in the morning and evening. As skin lighteners can often lead the skin more sensitive to the sun and the elements, quantity should be disclosed.
Cost and Guarantee
This product is listed at a reduced cost of $29.95, from a previous $34.95, on the manufacturer’s website where it is available for sale. As such, we looked to find a returns policy which could be put into action in the event of an unsatisfied purchase. Unfortunately, what we found left much to be desired. You can return the product to the manufacturer within 30 days of purchase. However, you are required to get approval for the return, the product must be unused and unopened and you will be liable for the shipping and restocking fee.
Summary Of Our Tattva’s Herbs Organics Enlightening Skin Cream Review
This review for Tattva’s Herbs Organics Enlightening Skin Cream analyzed this product and its claims. We found that there were some natural ingredients in its formulation and liked that the manufacturer promised a completely organic cream. Upon further investigation, we uncovered mixed reviews from past customers, a few ingredients that were not 100% organic and a returns policy that makes it impossible to try the product out first. This makes us question the effectiveness of this product as a whole.
