Medimix is a herbal Ayurvedic soap that has been used in India for generations. It is made from a special blend of 18 herbs and oils that are believed to be beneficial for the skin. This soap is known for its strong antibacterial properties, making it useful in treating common skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. It is also known to help improve the overall complexion of the skin. Medimix is available in both bar and liquid forms.
The medimix bar soap is a green bar with a herbal scent, while the liquid soap is a clear liquid that lathers well and has a mild scent. Many people in India prefer to use Medimix soap due to its unique Ayurvedic properties, as well as its affordability. Medimix soap can be found in almost any store in India, as well as online.
The soap is also known for its long shelf life and its ability to replenish the natural oils in the skin. Despite its popularity, it is important to note that Medimix soap should not be used by those with sensitive skin, as it may cause irritation
