We don’t come across face washes with innovative formulations every day. Most face washes in the market are based on a few common ingredients like neem, aloe vera, and vitamins. Ananta has put a unique spin on face wash formulation by introducing a new “skin superfood” called hemp seed.
While it is impressive to see new ingredients, there is a simple question to be answered: do we even need a new face wash when there are tons of them already available in the market?
Yes, lots of face washes are already available. However, there are some disadvantages to some of the most popular face washes. Take their harsh soap-based formulations for example, that dries out your skin. Synthetic chemicals are no good either. From causing mind irritation to cancer, these chemicals can be responsible for a myriad of suffering. Therefore, we are on the lookout for new promising products.
The hempseed oil-based face wash from Ananta Hemp Works promises to solve these problems. With an innovative and unique combination of gentle yet potent ingredients, the face wash is claimed to be gentle on the skin even out skin tone, and provide a youthful glow.
Ingredients And Their Benefits
So let’s talk about the ingredient profile of Imroz Face Wash.
Key Ingredients:
Hemp seed oil and kumkumadi are the key ingredients of this face wash. These ingredients have been mentioned in Ayurvedic texts. They have been used by ancient Indians to achieve beautiful skin.
Being full of vitamin E and omega fatty acids, hemp seed oil does wonders for the skin. It also has a golden omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acid ratio which provides immense soothing benefits to the skin.
Kumkumadi is a popular Ayurvedic concoction made of several Ayurvedic herbs like yashtimadhu, manjishtha, nisa, sweta chandana, kumkum, etc. It is known to hydrate the skin, reduce inflammation, and even out skin tone.
Other Natural Ingredients:
The natural active ingredients are glycerin, saffron extract, sandalwood extract, coco amido propyl betaine, aloe vera gel, gudhal extract, neem extract, tulsi extract and turmeric extract. These natural ingredients are full of benefits.
Other Ingredients:
Now let’s talk about the chemical ingredients. It has the following chemical ingredients: sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, lauryl glucoside, sodium gluconate, sodium benzoate, and potassium sorbate.
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is an FDA-approved lathering agent. It is non-toxic and gentle on the skin. Lauryl glucoside is another safe and effective cleansing agent.
Sodium gluconate, sodium benzoate, and potassium sorbate are safe ingredients added to increase the shelf life of the product and stop moulds from growing.
Essential oils are nature-derived ingredients and are usually safe. However, they may still irritate some so a patch test is always recommended.

My Experience
The face wash comes in a light green tube. It has a gel base that is almost translucent with a slight hint of yellow with little to no odour. There is a slight hint of a pleasant natural sandalwood fragrance.
The smell comes from the natural sandalwood added to the face wash as no artificial fragrance has been added. I applied it with my fingers evenly and it generated a decent amount of lather. There was no sensitivity or irritation.
There was no greasiness and my skin was refreshed. It also did not dry out my skin as it became supple. I followed up with my regular toner and moisturizer after using this face wash. So far there has been no irritation or reaction. It suits my combination skin very well.

This face wash comes in a beautiful cool mint green tube with a white flip-top lid. It’s easy to squeeze the product out of the tube. The packaging is quite convenient.
