As winters arrive, every one rushes to the shop to buy the winter
lotion cream, skim lotion and moisturizers which will protect their skin from harsh
winter.
Interestingly, a bit of secondary research on the internet
will tell you that middle-class Indian buys more moisturizers than any other
skincare product. As we know, every large-sector FMCG company today has at
least one moisturizer brand in the market.
A product test conducted by the Consumer Voice shows that not
all brands fare equally so far as quality is concerned. While none of the ones
we tested were unsafe or unhealthy, some did score better as they were true to
their claims and were better value for money.
Our tests are primarily based on the ‘related’ Indian
Standard, IS: 6608-2008, which is set for skin creams. Our test report suggests
that in an overall performance Dove, Vaseline and Parachute were the top three
brands.
The key ingredient total fatty substance (TFS) was found
highest in Vaseline, followed by Boro Plus. It was lowest in Lacto Calamine.
The ‘total residue’ was higher in Vaseline followed by Boro Plus, it was lowest
in Vivel.
However, the effect of moisturizer on skin was maximum in
the case of Dove, followed by Parachute and Nivea, it was lowest in Vivel and
Lotus. (To read more: get Consumer Voice magazine at your doorstep)
