Hey guys,
Today I am going to share my review on yet another Indian Brand "Blend It Raw Apothecary" founded by Aarushi. The brand started with organic essential oils and cold-pressed unrefined carrier oils, but later expanded its range to include unrefined clays, pure floral waters (hydrosols), waxes, & fruit, and plant butters which are all ethically sourced from small farmers, NGOs, certified organic manufacturers and suppliers. (You will be making a social contribution while buying your skin care products!)
I love this brand for some DIY recipes which I can create for my skin care and also, for its amazing mists/toners/hydrosols.
Let's talk about Hydrosols:
Hydrosols are distilled water used for aroma-therapeutic purposes. These hydrosols act like toners but are more effective than our usual toners. I mean a Rose Hydrosol is more effective than a rose toner.:)
I love the overall concept of these Hydrosols.
Shelf life: 6 months
Qty: 100 ml
Packaging: Glass
Texture and color: Water like, transparent
My Experience:
I love using toners because they prepare the skin for the next step. So, there is nothing more pleasing than having a toner that actually works. I have previously used Kama Ayurveda's Rose toner and Forest Essentials' Panchpush mist and I loved both of them. But when I first tried the BlendItRaw toners, I knew I would buy them forever.
The most important thing about these toners is: they are very light on skin, never give a sticky feeling and never break me out (Yes, some toners do this to me, but not this one). Also, these toners have such fresh fragrance that they take me back to nature.
It took me time to get used to the Basil Hydrosol's fragrance, but this toner is my go to whenever my skin gets zits. And when I need a little more hydration, I use the Rose Hydrosol.
Pros:
1. Natural products
2. Effective
3. Toners come with spray pump and hence, are very easy to use
4. Natural fragrance
5. Absolutely calm my skin without giving a tacky feeling
6. Last for a long time
7. Suitable for ALL skin types
8. Many variants for different skin concerns (You can check their website and even post a query to get recommendation)

Cons:
1. Glass bottle, so need to be careful while handling it.
Overall Verdict:
Hydrosols are new way to go and work great as toners and mists. We can use them at any time of the day as they make skin look fresh without giving a sticky feeling.
Will I recommend it?
I will buy it again and again and will absolutely recommend these hydrosols to anyone.
Other must try products from the brand:
Body Butters, Licorice Powder, Orange Peel Powder, Pure Aloevera Gel.
