During summers, I came across this really pocket-friendly, innovative
and super useful lotion from Parachute. Parachute happens to be brand that I
tend to overlook, but luckily, I spotted this during one rare trip to a
convenience store. This is a body lotion that has to be dispersed with a spray…
yeah! Something that can get through the nozzle of a spray has to be very thin
right? Well this one absolutely is! It’s a very lightweight lotion that spreads
easily, get absorbed quickly and moisturizes the skin as well. I’m very finicky
about lotions being lightweight because I hate the feeling of having something
on my skin.
Price: Rs. 120 / $
Qty: 100ml /
Ingredients:
I came across this quite late into the summer actually, I was using the Dove Go Fresh Lotion before and that one is pretty lightweight too. But after using this, even the Dove One, which is super lightweight by the way, started feeling heavy :P. So I switched to using this during day time and that one was kept for night time use. I still use this during daytime even though the weather is much cooler now, simply because it works well and I don’t feel like I’ve got anything on my skin, but at the same time my skin is getting the hydration it needs.

The only thing that keeps this from being perfect, and
really puts me off, is its smell. It
has this really medicinal smell, reminiscent of herbal products. I wish that
Parachute had put in a little more effort in this part, if they had, I would
have stocked this lotion by the dozen. I hope that they launch more varieties
of this range because we Indians seriously need such lightweight and pocket
friendly lotions in our life.
If your aim is bad, you’ll end up wasting a lot of this
product, because once its sprayed into the air, you can’t make out the where the
lotion went. This ends up wasting a lot of it, but its hardly the fault of the
product and more of an error on the part of the user, ermm me.
Overall Verdict:
4.5/5
I absolutely love the lightweight texture of the Parachute Summer Fresh Lotion and
the fact that it keeps my skin hydrated all day. Apart from the smell, I have
no qualms about this product. I really hope that this is launched in more
varieties!
