If you’re South Asian, you may already be familiar with Parachute’s products. They come in a little blue bottle, and these are the folks who make coconut oil for your hair. Well, what you may not know is that they have a whole line of body and skin care products, infused with traditional ingredients like saffron, turmeric and coconut. Upon reader’s request, I checked out Parachute Body Lotion and was pretty pleased. Simple, non-greasy and light, it glides over skin and infuses moisture with a coconut scent that reminds you of being on vacation.
Pros: Very moisturizing, lightweight, non-greasy and hypo-allergenic. It doesn’t feel too creamy or heavy to the touch. The packaging is sleek too!
Cons: Because Parachute is an Indian brand, it’s not available in drug stores in the US. Look for it online at the Parachute Hair Care site (not a very smart name for a site featuring body lotion) , because its a body care product rather than the traditional hair products. So, while it’s a pretty good product, it’s not the easiest to get ahold of if you’re stateside, and there are other products that are equally solid that you can probably find at your local CVS. Either way, happy moisturizing!

Nice review.. I really like the way this lotion has worked on my skin over the past few months. I actually feel that my skin has gotten softer and smoother with regular application of this lotion. Also loving the light fragrance which doesn’t overpower.

Thanks for this review… I am looking forward to their new summer variant which should work better in the summer. I have enjoyed using this body lotion and would recommend it to others too.

It has been two weeks since I have been using Parachute Advanced Body Lotion. Unlike other summer variants, this is not only non-sticky, but also very nourishing. I would definitely recommend it to others. With regular application, my skin has become softer and the colour’s gone from swarthy to fair.

Great review. I have been waiting for this review for quite sometime so that I can get a bottle for myself. I will definitely try this one out. My skin is very dry and it gets worse during the summer months. I am in search of some good summer variant. Parachute body lotions sounds good.

Hey thanks for the great review. I recently underwent pregnancy and I freaked out seeing my stretch marks. Then my mother recommended Parachute’s new summer variant. I needed something that was light and could erase my stretch marks. I found this body lotion apt. it absorbs really well making my tummy skin lighter and the coconut extracts are helping in removing the stretch marks.

Thanks for the review. I have used the earlier variants from Parachute and they have worked quite well on the skin of my family members. I will surely try this one out. Should be good.

Soon after this lotion launched, I have been using it on a regular basis. Unlike other summer creams, this is non-sticky and very nourishing. I would definitely recommend it to others. With regular application, my skin has become softer and the colour’s gone from swarthy to fair.

I have been an ardent fan of Parachute always. No matter which product, I never fail to try it out. I heard that Parachute is launching a new product, a summer variant. That is cool! Please review it. Thanks!!

Loved the review and it is so impressive that so many women like Parachute products even now when the market is flooded with a host of new products. I am a cricket player and get tanned easily. I started applying this lotion. I had heard my mom say that Mint acts as an anti-tan agent. Parachute advansed body lotion – summer fresh has got mint extracts. Great, my perfect choice!

I have tried all sorts of lotion for my skin but was never satisfied.I drive a two wheeler and my hands were tanned and was is a bad shape (since I am too fair the tan looked really bad) I tried all sorts of sun tan lotions from Vaseline and Nivea and lakme but of no use. Finally I discovered Parachute body lotion (summer variant) and believe me it worked like a miracle my tans disappeared and my skin turned soft supple and glowing . I now carry one in my office kit and one one my dressing table. Also let me add its great to use it after a waxing session it just soothes the burning sensation. I would give a ten on ten and its less expensive compared to other leading products. I am in love with my SKIN!
