Fascinated by the term Aromatherapy (or believe in it)? Then you must check out Secret Alchemist, a slow beauty brand that claims to use 100% natural ingredients in wellness products for both mental and physical ailments. Founded by Sumi Thadani, (an aromatherapist for the past 20 years) and Ankita Thadani, Secret Alchemist features a bunch of wellness products for the hair, skin, relief, and relaxation.
Over the past month, I've been using the DREAM - Sleep Inducing Oil which is meant to be a natural sedative that relaxes the nerves and mind. The CALM - Anxiety Reliever packed that is packed with basil, lavender, sandalwood, ylang ylang, and vitamin E which are ingredients that have natural calming properties and uplifts your mood (this one has become a staple for me— I carry it around pretty much everywhere now!) Both of these are roll-ons which are easy to carry, luxe-looking and come in glass containers. And safe to say, do what they claim.
For skin care, I tried the GLOW- Pigmentation Gel that's meant to brighten up your skin, reducing pigmentation. Despite me using it for a number of days I didn't see a significant difference (but do stay tuned for an update) It's packed with cucumber gel, frankincense, lemon, lime, orange, sandalwood—aka, smells heavenly. I also tried the FADE- Acne Scar Gel (though I wasn't sure about applying both at once so I resorted to an AM-PM routine) this one is mainly to control sebum production and clears acne marks, with cucumber gel, hyssop, sage and other things. It did make a difference on my skin—reducing my month old acne scars quite a bit!
Their products usually retail at INR 699 upwards. They also have a bunch of oils (for dandruff, cellulite, migraines, hair etc.) which are definitely worth checking out.
