In our previous blog posts, we have raved about how well Merakhi, and our other oils, work well for those with skin troubles like acne, dull skin, imbalanced skin, dark circles, pigmentation. So instead of writing about how great our oils are, we will show you two of our lovely video reviews.

Merakhi is amazing at reducing acne as using an oil based moisturiser also works to help reduce the skin’s sebum production. Using an organic face oil that keeps the skin moisturised and supple, will trick the skin into thinking it already has enough moisture. 

Our Merakhi face oil contains amazing skin loving ingredients including Neem and Pomegranate oils - which help to regenerate skin calls, heal the skin, improve the skin’s texture and tone. It is suitable for normal-oily skin types, including sensitive skin and mature skin. However, we do not recommend it for dry skin.

Before pouring the Merakhi oil, give it a good shake. Apply 4-5 drops of Merakhi into your hands and warm it up by rubbing your hands togehter. Then pat the oil onto the skin after using Nzuri Chamrhi cleanser and toning.

We recommend using Merakhi once a day - usually in the evening - up until your skin gets used to the oil - then you can use it twice a day.

Don’t be afraid of using Merakhi before applying any makeup, as it can help to keep your make up looking fresh and comfortable for a long time. It absorbs nicely into the skin and won’t make your skin look very greasy or oily - so there is no need for any worries like that.

We at Bonita Biaan are all about Ayurveda, and keeping our products as natural as they can be. We have made sure to formulate our products using the highest quality and purest of oils, using only cold pressed and organic oils.

Also, we do not have any nut oils in our products either, making them suitable for those with nut allergies.

Amazing Benefits of Neem Oil in Skincare

Neem Oil is also an amazing oil that is in all of our products, as it benefits the skin and hair so much, it helps to heal the scalp, promote hair growth, moisturise and heal the skin. Originating in India, Neem is a multi purpose herb with many medicinal properties and can be used internally and externally. Every part of the tree - branch, leaves, fruits, flowers - are extremely beneficial for the body, helping to fight off diseases and strengthen the immune system. 

In ancient Vedas, the Neem tree is referred to “Sarva Roga Nirvarini” – one capable of curing every illness and ailments. Neem has been used in India for thousands of years and is constantly used in many Ayurveda medicines for its amazing disease fighting properties.

Neem Oil itself contains fatty acids like oleic acid and linoleic acid which are beneficial for the skin. It contains high levels of antioxidants that help to protect the skin from environmental damage, age promoting free radicals and fights the signs of ageing. It also helps relieve symptoms of eczema (dry, itchy and irritated skin), reduces redness and inflammation making it an effective acne treatment too. Both Merakhi and Nzuri Chamrhi have had amazing results for customers, raving about how the products have reduced their acne and blemishes, and stopped their skin being oily throughout the day. We believe that our amazing oil blend will help to clear the skin from any acne troubles, excess oil production; making the skin glowing and healthy. Furthermore, Neem oil helps to reduce pigmentation as it halts the excessive formation or melanin.

For the hair, Neem Oil works just as well as it does for the skin! It is a natural cure for dandruff and dry scalp. To start off with, using HAIRBEAST regularly can help to stop hair thinning and strengthen the roots. Neem Oil helps to neutralise the effect of excessive oil production, reduce hair greasiness, fortifies and flushes out the any bacteria from the scalp. If you’re experiencing slow hair growth, Neem Oil repairs damaged hair follicles, helps with hair thinning and improves the quality of your hair whilst promoting it’s growth.

As our oils are 100% natural and pure, they have quite an earthy scent - so you can be sure that it will work really well on acne, blemishes and inflamed skin without causing any irritation. Also, we do not have any nut oils in our products either, making them suitable for those with nut allergies. 

We have made sure to formulate our products using the highest quality and purest of oils, using only cold pressed and organic oils. All of our oils have been sourced from vegan and cruelty free backgrounds.

Does Oil Get Rid Of Acne?

One of our most frequently asked questions and concerns is: “Do your products work on acne prone skin, and can this get rid of my acne?”. The answer is YES. Both our Nzuri Chamrhi cleanser and Merakhi face oil are amazing for sensitive, acne prone skin.

Acne can be caused by excess sebum that is trapped beneath the surface of the skin, or simply over active sebum production. When using a lot of over the counter acne creams and lotions, these products tend to dry out the skin as it works to dry out any existing spots and acne. HOWEVER, these creams can do more damage to the skin as it can become too dry. Naturally, the skin’s way of coping with this is to produce more sebum - which can cause more acne and so it becomes a cycle.

When the skin feels dry, it will start producing sebum - which is a natural process - to compensate for any dryness on the skin. So it’s very important to use products which will keep the skin moisturised and also help heal the skin.

Using a face oil on the skin can help to reduce excess sebum production (when the skin produces excess oil due to being dry), clean trapped dirt and help moisturise the skin. It works to reduce the sebum production as the skin can feel that it is properly moisturised and clean - and therefore doesn’t feel like it needs to produce more oil. 

For some people, the thought of using an oil on oily or acne prone skin can be daunting - as they feel that using oil will only make their skin oilier. However, that isn’t the case at all.

Using a completely organic oil-based product like Nzuri Chamrhi or Merakhi can help benefit the skin in so many ways. 

Nzuri Chamrhi is our oil based cleanser, which helps to completely clean the skin and unblock pores, therefore leading to brighter and clearer skin over time. Instead of a regular soap cleanser, you can use Nzuri Chamrhi instead and reap amazing benefits! It contains Vitamin K, Vitamin C and Zinc, which all work together to help heal breakouts, turn over new skin cells and glow. Our Nzuri Chamrhi oil cleanser helps with reducing acne, along with other problems including dark circles, pigmentation, irritated skin, dull skin and so much more. It has been formulated to work with all skin types, from dry to oily, young to mature skin - to improve the overall appearance and texture of the skin.

When it comes to using our oil cleanser, we recommend giving the bottle a shake. Before washing your face, pour out a small amount of the oil and rub your hands together to worm it up. Then, massage the oil directly onto you skin for 2-3 minutes, making sure to get the neck too. Using a hot cloth, remove the cleansing oil using gentle wipes. Finally, splash cold water to the skin to close the pores and finish off with our Merakhi face oil, which also works amazingly well to reduce acne and blemishes.

Merakhi is amazing at reducing acne as using an oil based moisturiser also works to help reduce the skin’s sebum production. Using an organic face oil that keeps the skin moisturised and supple, will trick the skin into thinking it already has enough moisture. 

Our Merakhi face oil contains amazing skin loving ingredients including Neem and Pomegranate oils - which help to regenerate skin calls, heal the skin, improve the skin’s texture and tone. It is suitable for normal-oily skin types, including sensitive skin and mature skin. However, we do not recommend it for dry skin.

Before pouring the Merakhi oil, give it a good shake. Apply 4-5 drops of Merakhi into your hands and warm it up by rubbing your hands togehter. Then pat the oil onto the skin after using Nzuri Chamrhi cleanser and toning.

We recommend using Merakhi once a day - usually in the evening - up until your skin gets used to the oil - then you can use it twice a day.

Don’t be afraid of using Merakhi before applying any makeup, as it can help to keep your make up looking fresh and comfortable for a long time. It absorbs nicely into the skin and won’t make your skin look very greasy or oily - so there is no need for any worries like that.

The Benefits Of Hemp Seed Oil In Merakhi

Hello readers!

Hemp Seed Oil is one of the fabulous oils in our Merakhi Face Oil. As a cold pressed organic oil it carries many benefits to help people internally and externally. 

Hemp Seeds carry a lot of nutritional value as they are a great source of protein and are rich in both two essential fatty acids - linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linoleic acid (omega-3). With these two combined, Hemp Seed Oil is an incredible oil that can improve the skin in so many ways.

1. One reason why some people are intimidated by using an oil on their skin is because they think it’s going to make their skin even more oily and clod their pores. However, Hemp Seed Oil has a comedogenic rating of 0, meaning that is does not clog pores at all. This makes it a great moisturiser for both oily and acne prone skin types as it’s fatty acid content helps create a protective barrier over the skin to help prevent any moisture loss.
2. Hemp Seed Oil can be used to heal and calm acne prone skin as it’s astringent properties balance sebum production, therefore controlling an excess oil that is naturally produced by the skin. 
3. Whilst controlling and healing acne breakouts, Hemp Seed Oil also soothes and calms any rashes. With our blend of oils in Merakhi, you can apply it to areas with chapped and irritated skin for example, on dry patches on the hands during winter time.
4. As Hemp Seed Oil helps to balance out oily skin, it also works to tighten, tone and firm the skin too. By applying Hemp Seed Oil to the skin, you can minimise and tighten large pores.
5. One of the causes of Psoriasis is a deficiency in Omega 6 fatty acids. As Hemp Seed Oil is super rich in Omega 6, it can help fight off, moisturise and soothe any inflamed and itchy psoriasis patches. 

As our Merakhi face oil contains a blend of super skin loving organic oils including Hemp Seed Oil, your skin can benefit from all of the amazing qualities Merakhi has to offer. 

Our Merkahi oils helps the skin in many ways. If you are dealing with acne, dark circles, pigmentation, dull skin and wrinkles - Merkahi will help to combat those skin troubles and give you more glowing and youthful skin. Our perfect blend helps to really improve the skin’s texture and tone.

It is suitable for normal-oily skin types, including sensitive skin and mature skin. However, we do not recommend Merakhi for dry skin. 

Also, we do not have any nut oils in our products.

All About Merakhi

Hello readers!

Today’s blog post is all about our fabulous face oil, Merakhi! Merakhi is a completely organic and natural face oil that helps the skin in many ways. 

If you’re dealing with acne, dark circles, pigmentation, dull skin and wrinkles - then Merakhi will help combat these skin issues and give you a more glowing and youthful appearance. 

Our Merakhi face oil came about when Rajinder - co-founder of Bonita Biaan - had tried and tested all kinds of acne treatments and remedies, but hadn’t found anything that controlled and prevented her breakouts. Husband, Ranvir, had trialled and tested a blend of skin loving natural oils to help heal Rajinder’s skin, to help heal her acne breakouts and blemishes. This blend of natural oils worked amazingly well, and Merakhi was created.

Merkahi is a Greek word, which means ‘to put love into something’ - and we love to put all our love into our products.

WHAT IS MERAKHI MADE FROM:

Two of the key ingredients in Merakhi are Neem and Pomegranate oils, along with a blend of other skin loving oils. These two oils in particular are very beneficial for the skin. Neem oil originates from India, which is well known for healing the skin. Pomegranate oil contains Vitamin K and Omega 5; it helps to regenerate skin cells and promotes blood flow to the surface. Our perfect blend helps to really improve the skin’s texture and tone. 

Merkahi is suitable for normal-oily skin types, including sensitive skin and mature skin. However, we do not recommend Merakhi for dry skin. Our Merakhi oil is ideal for ages 17 upwards.

HOW TO USE MERAKHI:

Before pouring the Merakhi oil, give it a good shake. Apply 4-5 drops of Merakhi into your hands, warm it up by rubbing your hands together and pat on to your skin after cleansing and toning. We recommend using Merakhi once a day - usually in the evening - up until your skin gets used to the oil, then you can use twice a day. If you’re a makeup wearer, we recommend using Merakhi before applying makeup.

A Formal Introduction

Hey Bonitas!

We have been absent from our blog for a hot minute, but we are back to bring you lovely readers some weekly fresh content, straight from the Bonita Biaan HQ. As our previous posts consisted of mostly makeup, we are still going to post beauty related content alongside health related posts too. 

For those of you who are new to our website - Bonita Biaan - here’s a small breakdown. We are a UK based beauty company specialising in carefully formulated face and hair oils to help better skin and hair troubles. Due to our own personal skincare issues and hearing of friends and family beauty problems, we decided to create our own blend of natural products, which have proven to give phenomenal results! 

We have formulated all of our products using 100% natural, cold pressed oils that haven’t been refined or bleached - as we believe in completely natural skincare. Our products are cruelty free and vegan.

Our first two products, HAIRBEAST and Merakhi, hit the market mid 2016 and have become a huge hit with customers across the globe.

HAIRBEAST has been a phenomenal hit, as customers have routinely tried the oils and come back to tell us how much their hair has grown, started to grow hair thicker hair and how bald patches are starting to sprout new hairs. One of our most amazing testimonials included a lady who had lost patches of her hair due to Androgenic Alopecia. Despite trying many serums and ointments from the doctors to help grow her hair back, nothing seemed to work for her. She decided to try HAIRBEAST within our market research period, and after 14 years of being unsuccessful, her hair started to grow back. We know that our oils are truly ‘magic in a bottle’ and after hearing success stories like these, it further proves how well our products work!

Merakhi, too, has also been a hugely successful as we have seen how it works to help fade acne scars, dark spots and pigmentation - yet also making the skin look and feel amazing. Our Merkahi oil is recommended for normal to oily skin and works amazingly on sensitive skin too! People can be scared of using an oil on already oily skin, but Merakhi helps to control sebum while maintaining adequate moisture for the face. 

After the success of HAIRBEAST and Merakhi, we decided to launch our very own cleansing oil - Nzuri Chamrhi. 

Nzuri Chamrhi was created as a complimentary product with Merkahi, as cleansing and moisturising are very important skin care steps. We formulated Nzuri Chamrhi as a natural and very gentle cleansing oil for all skin types, to be used once or twice a day - depending on your preference. As all of our products go through weeks of testing in our own market research group, we have seen huge differences in complexions. Nzuri Chamrhi works by removing dirt and excess oil from the skin, adding moisture and reviving complexions to make them brighter and glowing. 

Over the coming weeks, we will have a full breakdown of each of our products with more information as to what each product does. Feel free to follow this blog, or keep an eye out for our email subscriptions as we will have our new posts linked within.
