Hi Everyone,
For past few months I have finally took out all products samples I have received in my subscription boxes/bags and trying them out and finishing them off 🙂 So there are going to be bombarding of reviews of a lot of samples. Today I’m here with review of SaND for Soapaholics Oh Curcumal Facial Cleanser(or let’s just call it SaND Oh Curcumal Facial Cleanser).
About SaND for Soapaholics Oh Curcumal Facial Cleanser:
Cultivated from the fields of Southern India, our Wild Turmeric blended into our earthy Gram Flour creates a cleanser for all complexions. To enhance the strength and scent of the cleanser we added our Grapefruit Essential Oil. This oil is delicately distilled over a wood fire from Grapefruit that is cultivated from our towering 40 feet trees. As if it wasn’t enough, we threw in the plant of immunity, Aloe Vera, for good measure! See that uneven tan fade away, as tranquility sinks in.
How to Use:
Take a small amount, mix with water and blend into a paste. Massage face for a minute and rinse off with warm water.
Price, Quantity & Shelf-life:
150/- INR for 30gm
250/- INR for 50gm
500/- INR for 100gm.
Buy it from SaND, Flipkart, Fabbag, Amazon.
Shelf Life: 4 months from date of packing.
Ingredients:
Every 10gm contains Vegetable Glycerine (30.28%), Gram Flour Pdr. (Cicer arietinum) (28.28%), Kaolin (21.21%), Turmeric Rhizome Ext. (Curcuma Longa) (7.07%), Aloe vera Leaf Gel (7.07%), Honey Liq. (3.54%), Ess.Oil blend of Lemon Fruit (Citrus medica), Tea Tree (Melaleuca leucadendron) & Grapefruit (Citrus decumana) (1.70%), Oil of Turmeric Rhizome (Curcuma longa) (0.85%).
My Experience with SaND Oh Curcumal Facial Cleanser:
Packaging:
SaND Oh Curcumal Facial Cleanser sample comes in a tiny golden plastic tub with same color plastic screw open lid. Product Ingredients and instruction to use are written on it. though sample is travel friendly but full-size is not a travel friendly version.
Texture & Scent:
SaND Oh Curcumal Facial Cleanser is gritty paste and more like ubtans or gram flour facepacks you make(Look at the ingredient list). It smells pretty herbal may be due to essential oil mix but scent doesn’t linger for long.
Performance:
SaND Oh Curcumal Facial Cleanser has all natural ingredients. It does the cleansing job pretty well. It removes all the dirt, grim and oil without drying out the skin even in winters. It is slightly gritty that is why it gives mild scurbbing effect and removes dead skin cells and give a smooth and soft skin post wash. For testing it’s effectiveness at cleansing, I removed my makeup with oil, wipe off excess oil with cotton and then washed my face with it, it removed all oil residue from my face. But do not expect it to remove makeup on its own (Anyways it is a good practice to remove makeup before washing your face for effective cleansing 🙂 )
Noe if I look at the ingredient list, I think it is our very old gram flour ubtan with a mix of kaolin clay and essential oils. So if you can do this DIY then you do not need to invest in it. But if you are a lazy bumm like me and cringe at the thought of doing DIY facepacks then this can be a great buy for you.
What I like about SaND Oh Curcumal Facial Cleanser:
- All natural ingredients. No Chemicals.
- Does not irritate my sensitive skin.(Try small size first as few people are sensitive to essential oils)
- Deep cleansing effect.
- Mild scrubbing effect.
- Does not leave any film bnehind.
- Does not make skin dry.
- For all skin types.
- Reasonable price tag given the ingredients.
What I do not like about SaND Oh Curcumal Facial Cleanser:
- Smell can be bothersome for few.
- availability is an issue.
- Non-travel friendly packaging.
Final Verdict: 4.75/5
For me SaND Oh Curcumal Facial Cleanser is a winner. I would love to repurchase it if I could find it online. It is free from harmful chemical, it has goodness of all natural skin-friendly ingredients. It gives mini facial effect to skin. My skin loves it.
Recommended: Yes if you do not want to DIY it.
Repurchase: Yes, As I’m lazy to do DIYs on regular basis 😀

Thank you dear 🙂
Sounds like a great product…. Keep the reviews bombardment coming 😀
Thank you Sonali 🙂 hahaha literally I did not realize I had so many samples 😛
This sounds lovely! Finding a scrub that isn’t overly abrasive can be kind of difficult, but this one seems promising.
Yes this one is promising and chemical free 🙂
sounds like a nice facial cleanser to try out. Sand by Soapaholics seems like India’s response to missing Lush.
Yeah i was thinking the same but glad these do not cost much as Lush 🙂 I’m planning to get a full size..
cucumber love ! 😉 i just love the product.
me too 🙂
I think its worth trying out, I wish it did not have a strong smell though
Yeah me too 🙂 I liked the formula though 🙂
I have always wanted to try sAnd products but never got a chance to try them, this definitely looks like a DIY product and the addition of glycerin & aloe vera gel compensates in not drying out the skin which can happen sometimes with gram flour, Koalin based face cleansers or masks
Yes even I’m, impressed that it did not dry out skin and infact worked on my dry patches and minimized them 🙂 This is DIYable but I’m lazy for that most of the times 😛
Great post, seems amazing products as well, I love to try one of them schoon, thank you for sharing!!!

Thank you Nora 🙂
Just few years back even I was more into making DIY’s , but gradually I became a serious lazy bumm and started using only ready made packs 😛 But this is not that pricey, so easily can try it 🙂
hehehe same feelings 🙂
Looks good…
Thank you 🙂
I actually like herbal scents, so I think I’d enjoy using this.
Yes it is nice 🙂
I have never heard about this brand ma gurl. And I do wanna try this one 🙂
Thank you Girl 🙂 I have checked their website and for now they ship only in India 🙂
That’s an interesting one. But I guess its pretty dupable. Good review though <3
Thank you..yes it is DIYable 🙂

Yes it is worth trying Ramya 🙂
I got something very similar to this in a Fabbag and I has so much trouble trying to open that small container. My fingers kept slipping. Such terrible packaging ideas.
I know but full size packaging is better 🙂
I got this in my Fab Bag too, but the smell was yukky! that is why never used it.
The smell is not good..but cleanser is actually great for sensitive skin 🙂
I love the sounds of the product. Those ingredients are impressive to me. I like knowing that I am using safe and , in this case, beneficial ingredients, since they do get absorbed . I might even like the smell a bit.

It sounds like a really nice cleanser. I have a ton of samples I need to get to as well. Not sure I want to open my sample drawer just yet though lol. 🙂

I really liked this face pack mainly cause its all natural.. Lately I have been loving products with a natural ingredients a lot
I am also liking natural products 🙂
I got a similar product from this brand, quite liked it. love that fact that it’s chemical free and has only natural ingredients.
I agree, i’m willing to try more products by the brand now 🙂

Thank you 🙂
It sounds great and all the herbal products have weird smell but i can use them any way.
I have used the turmeric variant and hated it. Good to see it worked well for you.
