Hi,
Today I read on the internet you can get nettle rash from soapnuts. Does anyone know if that is true??

I have used Biotique Honey Gel. It is a foaming face wash meant for all skin types. I have combination skin & though it would be good as it is HONEY gel.
Rubbish. It do control my T-Zone oil in dry weather but completely dries my cheeks & under eye skin. It lathers more than Himalaya Herbals or Pears Face Wash.
120 mL for Rs 135

I am an Indian, and yes S, Biotique is an Indian brand.
Ages before Biotique was formed, and their products were created, we used to live a non-detergent life – they were only meant for our clothes.
We boiled ritha (soapnut), shikakai (walnut bark) & amalaki (indian gooseberry), thenmashed them and extracted the liquid as shampoo to clean and lustre our hair. For the body we generally used gram flour paste, with maybe a bit of powdered ritha water in it (but that exfoliater would be luxury to add in). With these herbal products that add a little more, it just makes life a little more convenient, but yes they are definitely good for you.

I’ve checked, and they do use soapnut in their facial cleansers. I’ve bought the product and although I’ve only used it once I’m optimistic. All of Biotique’s products are biodegradable and aren’t tested on animals. They advertise saying they don’t use any ‘harmful chemicals’ or chemical fragrances. Its a good brand as far as my experience goes.
