Indian market is full of brands that make tall claims regarding skincare and haircare. And one such label that became quite famous in the last decade is Biotique. This brand takes full advantage of the current obsession of millennials with Organic and Ayurvedic products. But wait, are we getting fooled around? Yes, maybe.

Biotique is using an over-smart marketing strategy to sell its products but it gets caught once the customer turns the bottle around to look for ingredients. The incomplete contents list is what makes one doubtful of the promises that this label is making to its customers.

Below given is the list of 5 worst products from Biotique:

Biotique Bio Fruit Whitening Lip Balm
Talking about the claims of the product, it promises to even out one’s lip colour and lightens it too. But fails miserably at both. Firstly, it has a beeswax base which gives it a thick consistency. The user feels it heavy on their lips. Secondly, it has a loud scent which might not be liked by every user. Additionally, it lacks SPF which many people look for in their daycare skin application products. So, one can wear it only during the night.

Coming to its packaging, it arrives in a tub at a time when people prefer bullet packaging. This product is a big no from multiple people who have given it a try.

Biotique Bio Bhringraj Therapeutic Hair Oil
This product is formulated with some of the most potent Ayurvedic herbs for hair. The list includes Bhringraj, Mulethi, and Brahmi, blended with goat milk and coconut oil. But unfortunately, if one looks at the ingredient list, the main herb that this product is based on i.e. Bhringraj is only 0.06% of its entire contents. Apart from this, it promises hair growth by nourishing the follicles and preventing hair loss. Not just this, it also assures the user of treating alopecia. But the customer is getting deceived at the hands of the makers.

A verified user on Amazon has written a review of this oil. It states, “The ingredients listed account for less than 10% of what is in the bottle. Doesn’t describe what the primary oil is and it says it is organic but there is no certifiable mark on the product. I wouldn’t recommend putting this product on your body when you don’t know what it’s made of.”

Biotique ocean Kelp Shampoo for Anti Hair fall Intensive Hair Regrowth Treatment
Besides its pricing, there’s nothing good about this cleanser. Simply put, nobody would like to cost their beautiful tresses for some cheap shampoo just because it claims to use recipes from authentic Veda texts and there is no proof of it. So why not to skip it all together.

“This product is terrible on your hair. It’s extremely drying and it smells like cheap shower gel. Only 5% of the ingredients are listed and the rest aren’t even given on their website. This product isn’t natural and I’m not sure how it is legally sold in the UK without listing all of the ingredients,” reads one review of this shampoo on the e-commerce site, Amazon.

4. Biotique Bio Winter Green Spot Correcting Anti Acne Cream
Made with two native herbs- Winter Green and Daru Haldi, this cream comes in beautiful pack and has the best texture. But as soon as it nears to your nose, its smell gets to your nerves. Many verified buyers on leading sites like Amazon and Flipkart have complained about the same. People have experienced pimple breakout after using this particular product.

5. Biotique Bio Morning Nectar Visibly Flawless Skin Moisturizer
This moisturizer have worked against a large number of customers. In fact, one disappointed user gave it five stars so that her review appears on the top and future buyers remain aware of the side-effects this product can have on their skins.

One of the reviews reads, “I purchased this product after seeing many videos to get an affordable moisturizer. But this product is not meant for oily and combination skin people. Horrible experience with this product. Smell is also very irritating. I have to rub by nose constantly bcoz of smell. There are many better options in the market . Please oily skin people don’t even think to buy this product you would regret. In fact my whole skin was ruined. Got horrible pimples all over the face.”
