“Wikka products are based on Aromatherapy, the practice of using the natural oils extracted from flowers, bark, stems, leaves, roots or other parts of a plant to enhance psychological and physical well-being. The aroma extracted from “essential” oils and natural products can stimulate brain function. Essential oils, when absorbed through the skin, can travel through the bloodstream and promotes holistic healing. “
Aromatherapy from last few years seems to be restoring its importance. The well-stablished and everyday growing beauty/skin care sector can finally see people looking for options to replace the chemicals filled beauty/skin care products with more skin-friendly and natural product. To be more precise, most of us today are looking for products which may help us in maintaining our skin balance for a longer term, if not forever.
When I said, “Aromatherapy is restoring its importance”; I wanted to inform you that it existed in some form for thousands of years. Though, it wasn’t until the 11th century when steam distillation first made it possible to properly remove the essential oils from plant materials. Since then, cultures around the world have utilized aromatherapy for a wide range of functions. Perhaps the most common countries to find aromatherapy being practiced would be in India, France, England, and the United States, although it can be found in dozens of other countries as well.
Here today, I am introducing you to one such brand – WIKKA. I had been using Wikka’s beauty potion for almost a year and there again tried two more products from the same brand and had no reason for not sharing it with you.
WIKKA BODY FRESHENER
PRICE- ₹900/ 200ML
BRAND CLAIMS:
Jasmine Body Freshener has a beautiful delicate aroma, enjoy the relaxing soothing benefit of Jasmine with this Jasmine Body Freshener as a body splash. Can also be added to the face packs for a radiant glow.
ESSENTIAL OILS- Jasmine
INGREDIENTS- Floral Jasmine Water
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
- Packaging- It is packaged in an enticing wooden textured cardboard box. Nicely packed in a plastic, you will find a blue tinted plastic bottle with a nozel. It has a rope tied around the plastic protective cap over the spray nozel. The rope contains two tiny tags which have brand tag along with the description tag giving you a brief about the products. All the ingredients are mentioned on the box as well as on the bottle. The packaging is pretty enticing and bottle is lightweight which makes it easier to be carried in a handbag.
- After Opening- As you open the protective cover, you can already smell the jasmine fragrance oozing out. It is irresistible and you won’t be able to stay for long without pressing the nozel. The novel is tight enough to prevent the leakage and loose enough to let you squirt the freshener.
- After application- A firm stream of jasmine floral water comes out of the bottle and gives you a fresh feel and for a moment you just get lost into the aromas of jasmine fragrance.
FINAL VERDICT:
It can be applied just after bathing. Though the fragrance stays in the body but don’t expect it to work like perfumes as it is not. It is more like a mist which needs to be applied after ever few hours to feel refreshed. It is not a strong jasmine instead it has a softer touch and feel of it.
It has been competitively priced, hence no complaints about that.
You may also use it as a replacement of water or rose water in your face packs and it works beautifully with them. Having said that, I believe it can be applied on the face as well. I am doing that and feeling really amazing about it.
It is a good buy.
