This citrus soap offers a pleasant, gentle cleanse with natural ingredients, but its ambitious brightening claims are likely to outpace the realistic effects of a rinse-off product.
₹199 • Analysed 14 October 2026
This bathing soap is positioned as a natural, handmade product with citrus extracts for brightening and glow, which resonates with Indian consumers' preference for traditional ingredients and skin radiance. At Rs.199 for 100gm, it sits in the mid-to-premium segment for bar soaps in the Indian market. The 'sulfate & paraben free' claim aligns with growing consumer demand for 'clean' beauty. However, claims of 'skin brightening' and 'glow enhancement' for a rinse-off product, while common in Indian marketing, are ambitious without finished-product clinical evidence. The generic disclosure of 'Glycerin Soap Base' and colorants presents a transparency gap under India Cosmetics Rules 2020.
Independent and free. The Clean Sheet takes no money from brands to review, rank, or approve a product. This is a web evidence review, not a Clean Sheet certification. We checked the ingredient list, publicly available test reports, marketing claims, and formula logic using only public information available at the time of review.
Supported by the presence of a soap base, which is designed for cleansing.
Supported by the cleansing action of soap and the presence of citrus essential oils.
This is a subjective claim. While ingredients like glycerin and plant extracts are present, 'unique' and 'nourishing' are not objectively quantified or proven.
Supported by the inclusion of Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil and Citrus Sinensis (Orange) Peel Oil in the ingredient list.
Glycerin is a known humectant. The claim that it 'retains' glycerin is plausible for a handmade soap, but the extent of moisturization for a rinse-off product is limited.
The retrieved INCI list does not contain sulfates or parabens, supporting this claim.
Lemon and orange peel are associated with brightening properties due to Vitamin C content, but this is ingredient-level evidence. No finished product evidence is publicly visible for this specific soap. As a rinse-off product, the contact time for significant brightening is limited.
Similar to brightening, this claim relies on the general properties of citrus ingredients. No finished product evidence is publicly visible.
