7.5/10 · cleanserBio Honey Gel Refreshing Foaming Face Wash
Biotique's honey face wash — a gentle Ayurveda-meets-modern-formulation cleanser that's been in Indian bathrooms for over a decade. The formulation puts raw honey (humectant, antibacterial, soothing) at the top of the active ingredients, supported by aloe vera juice, daruhaldi (Berberis aristata — a traditional Ayurvedic anti-inflammatory), and turmeric extract (curcumin — antioxidant and brightening). The surfactant base uses sodium cocoyl glutamate, an amino acid-derived cleanser that's among the most skin-compatible surfactants available — it foams gently without disrupting the acid mantle. At ~$5 for 100ml, Biotique maintains its position as the brand that makes Ayurvedic skincare genuinely affordable. The gentle gel texture lathers lightly and rinses clean — designed for the twice-daily Indian cleansing routine where stripping surfactants would cause rebound oiliness. A solid starter cleanser for anyone building a routine on a student budget.
