Product Overview

This gel is designed to be a versatile addition to your beauty routine, offering hydration, soothing properties, and antioxidant benefits for both skin and hair. It combines two well-known natural ingredients from traditional Indian remedies:

• Aloe Vera: Renowned for its hydrating, soothing, and healing properties. It’s rich in vitamins, enzymes, and amino acids that are beneficial for skin and hair health.
• Turmeric: A powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It’s traditionally used for skin brightening, reducing breakouts, and promoting overall skin and scalp health.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Multi-purpose Application: It can be used on the face, body, and hair, making it a convenient product for daily use.
• Skin Benefits:
  • Soothes Rashes, Acne, and Pimples: Aloe Vera’s cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, combined with Turmeric’s antibacterial action, help reduce irritation, itchiness, and breakouts from acne, rashes, shaving, or sunburn.
  • Hydrates and Moisturizes: Deeply hydrates the skin, making it soft, supple, and healthy.
  • Reduces Sunburn and Tan: Aloe Vera helps soothe sunburnt skin, while Turmeric may assist in reducing tan and promoting an even skin tone.
  • Fights Aging and Breakouts: The antioxidant properties of Turmeric and Vitamin E help protect skin cells from damage, potentially slowing down aging and preventing breakouts.
  • Heals Wounds and Reduces Irritation: Aloe Vera aids in healing minor cuts and wounds.
• Hair Benefits:
  • Hydrates Dry Hair and Scalp: Provides deep nourishment and moisture to dry hair and scalp.
  • Reduces Frizz: Helps to tame frizz by providing adequate moisture to hair strands.
  • Fights Dandruff and Itch: Turmeric’s antibacterial properties, along with Aloe Vera’s soothing effect, can help reduce dandruff and an itchy scalp.
  • Promotes Healthy Hair Growth: Nourishes the scalp and hair follicles, contributing to overall hair health and potentially boosting growth.
  • Suitable for Chemically Treated Hair: Mamaearth states it can be used on colored or chemically-treated hair.
• Natural & Toxin-Free: A key selling point for Mamaearth, as it’s free from Sulfates, Parabens, SLS, Mineral Oil, Petroleum, Artificial Preservatives, Colors, and Synthetic Fragrance.
• Suitable for All Skin & Hair Types: Dermatologically tested and generally considered suitable for men and women aged 15 years and above, across all skin and hair types.

How to Use:

• For Skin: Apply liberally on cleansed skin. It can be used as a daily moisturizer, an after-shave gel, an overnight soothing pack for sunburn/acne, or mixed with other ingredients for DIY face/body scrubs.
• For Hair: Massage directly onto the scalp to reduce dandruff and itchiness. It can be left overnight before shampooing to reduce frizz or mixed with water to create a hair mist. It can also be used as a leave-in gel for curly hair.

Ingredients

The primary beneficial ingredients are:

• 100% Pure Aloe Vera: Provides hydration, soothing, antioxidant, and healing properties.
• Turmeric Extract: A powerful antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening agent.
• Vitamin E: An antioxidant that nourishes and protects skin and hair, making them soft and supple.

Other ingredients commonly found in the formulation to provide texture, preservation, and stability include: Aqua (Water), Glycerin (a humectant), Sodium PCA (skin-identical ingredient/moisturizer), Allantoin (soothing agent), Xanthan Gum (thickener), Sodium Benzoate (preservative), and IFRA Certified Allergen Free Fragrance.

Side Effects

Mamaearth Aloe Turmeric Gel is generally considered safe and “not known to have any side effects” by the brand due to its natural and toxin-free formulation. However, as with any cosmetic product, individual reactions can vary:

• Allergic Reactions/Irritation: Despite being natural, some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies to Aloe Vera, Turmeric, or other ingredients. A patch test on a small, inconspicuous area (e.g., behind the ear or inner arm) is always recommended before widespread use, especially for those with very sensitive skin or known allergies. Symptoms could include redness, itching, burning, or a rash.
• Temporary Staining (from Turmeric): While unlikely with processed cosmetic-grade turmeric extracts, pure turmeric can sometimes leave a light yellow tint on very fair skin or clothing. However, the concentration in such gels is typically not enough to cause significant staining.
• Stickiness (less common): Some users might find certain gel formulations to be slightly sticky, depending on the amount applied and their skin type.

If any adverse reactions occur, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

Prescription

No, Mamaearth Aloe Turmeric Gel for Skin & Hair does not require a prescription.

It is an over-the-counter (OTC) cosmetic and personal care product. You can purchase it directly from various retail outlets, online platforms, and pharmacies without a doctor’s consultation. Its formulation is based on common natural ingredients and is designed for general cosmetic use, not for treating specific medical conditions that would necessitate a prescription
