It has been a while since I’ve extended the usage of organic and herbal products more in my daily routine. Even if the products aren’t herbal or organic, I do ensure to see the ingredients and get the stuffs that don’t contain nasty preservatives, parabens or “cones” in them.

However, little did I know that in my search, I’d not only find the Indian herbal and organic brands but also some of the international (German) brands too like Sante  Naturkosmetik, Logona etc. that too on a website operating in India.

And now coming to the treasure trove where I found these, I am really glad to introduce...
