Vaseline body ice cream review
Is it the perfect summer gel? What do the ingredients say about it? Well! Let's take a look.
Whoa! In the past few months, I have hardly missed anything from Plum Goodness. Sometimes, I feel as if I am the brand ambassador.
But, nope! As of now, the brand has never contacted me to promote any of its products. Actually, whenever the brand launches something, I feel this immense urge to try that out.
Recently, Plum has launched an armpit cream. Before this, I had only known that such products exist. But, never felt the urge to try one. I have a sweaty armpit and like many women out there, the issue becomes worse from March to October.
So, this time, I felt that I must give this armpit cream a try. It’s been a week already that I am testing this product. How is it? Does it block sweat? Does it work like a solid perfume? Well! It’s time to talk about Plum BodyLovin’ Hawaiian Rumba De-odorizing Pit Cream.
Price: INR 345 for 50g
Shelf Life: 2 years
Buy From: Amazon
Do you want odour free pits for more than 12 hours? Get ready to embrace this de-odorizing armpit cream rich in Kaolin and Green Tea Oil. Hey! Let’s not forget the ocean derived minerals at the same time that have the ability to absorb sweat.
Don’t worry! This pit cream is free from Aluminium and Baking Soda, so no more toxic build-up. Let your armpits breathe fresh like never before.
Is it an Anti-Perspirant?
Nope! It is not. In fact, stay away from sweat blockers. Sweating is good as it cools down your bodily temperature.
This pit cream is a de-odorizing cream or in simple phrase, it’s a cream that absorbs excess sweat and oil. It has a soothing fragrance which is again not an alternative to shower gel or perfumes.
And now, we have come into the section that Cosmetics Arena boasts off. No matter, how exhausted or sick I am, I would never skip this part. Ingredient analysis of cosmetics gives this blog a motto to stand out in the crowd.
Plum BodyLovin’ Hawaiian Rumba De-odorizing Pit Cream is made of 19 ingredients. As you can see, there are only a few names that most of us are aware of or heard of. So, what about the rest? Let’s take a close look.
A safe alternative to Silicone, this component functions as a skin conditioning agent and as an emollient in cosmetics.
Corn Starch works as an absorber. It is a great alternative to Talc. This ingredient also provides a dry silky feeling without making the skin cakey looking.
It is a common name among body lotions. Cetearyl Alcohol functions as a skin conditioning agent and also as a thickener in cosmetics.
Another common name among personal care products. Just like the previous component, this component functions as a skin conditioning agent and also as an emollient.
Silica is popular as an anti-caking agent. It is quite popular in the cosmetic industry due to its power to soak sweat and oil.
This component functions as a pH controller and also as an absorbent.
It functions the same way Magnesium Hydroxide does. This component functions both as a pH controller and absorbent.
Rich in antioxidants, this non-comedogenic butter is an excellent natural butter. It is a great emollient that also helps to get rid of dark spots.
I hope Plum Goodness had mentioned the name of the fragrant agent.
Kaolin clay is full of benefits. But, in this pit cream, this component is used as an absorbent.
Carnauba wax makes a product hard and gives the skin a non-sticky feel which is great especially in a solid bar.
Candelila wax works just the same way Carnauba wax does. It is widely used in conditioners, emulsions, and lipsticks.
Basically, it is Soy wax that functions as a skin-conditioning agent in cosmetics.
It functions as a solvent.
One of the most widely used preservatives in cosmetics.
Another preservative that is quite popular in personal care products.
Don’t worry! The bigger name is the shorter its functionality becomes. As per EWG, this ingredient is a safe antioxidant.
This component functions as an antioxidant in cosmetics.
A safe fragrance agent that also works as a skin-conditioning element.
And, that’s all! Apparently, it might seem that there are loads of chemical components used in the formulation. But, as you can from the analysis, most of the components are safe for both the environment and also for the human system.
I love how they have used alternative solutions. And, also the brand has made sure that no colour is added to the product. The only thing I disliked about the ingredients is the inclusion of fragrance. Overall, the formula deserves a rating of 4.5 out of 5 for the formulation.
Plum Bodylovin Pit Cream comes in a small plastic-made tub with a spatula in the carton. It is worth noting that the brand uses bio-degradable plastics. Tub packaging is often not considered as a hygienic one; but fortunately, you get the plastic spatula too along with it.
The texture reminds me of powdered cream. With slight pressure, the cream melts and leaves a slightly powdery feel. It is easy to apply.
If you have ever used Plum Bodylovin Shower Gel Hawaiian Rumba, then you already know what it smells like. Exactly, the same! The beachy fragrance is really mind-blowing.
In this entire week, I have used this pit cream quite a few times; at least, 5 times if not close. And, every time, I have experienced a combination of things. So, let’s take a look.
And, that’s exactly what I have felt so far. So, as a whole, do I recommend this pit cream? Well! Here is my final pitch on this.
Is it Worth Purchasing?
Honestly, it took me a while to understand the basic purpose of this pit cream. It is not a proper deodorant nor an antiperspirant. Basically, it absorbs the excess sweat and makes the armpits fresh for 3 hours at max.
The claim of 12+ hours of fresh armpits is not feasible at all. It needs reapplication after every 3 hours.
Indeed, it is good that the product is free from baking soda, aluminium, animal cruelty, and is vegan. But, this is not a must for everyone.
So, if you are someone who has an extremely sweaty and patchy armpit, then you can definitely give it a try. Otherwise, you can easily skip it.
