I had not heard much about this brand…its manufactured and distributed in England I guess..you can get these at places where one gets all imported products..in Mumbai at Alfa..
It comes in many different variants :

Lavender and Royal jelly: Deep Nourishing Moisturisation

Vitamin AEB5
Tea Tree and Lemon extracts
I have the Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E and Aloe Vera one. It also has an Bio Glow Body Scrub which has papaya and walnut seeds as exfoliators.
What the Company claims: Cocoa butter nourishes the skin with its balmy properties, protecting it against roughness and dryness. Aloe Vera & Vitamin E provide UV protection, skin conditioning & moisturising.

MRP: Rs.100/- for 500ml (Theres this get 200 ml extra on this 300 ml tub from like forever)
Coming to the texture, its neither a runny lotion nor a thick body butter.This has a mousse like consistency as it reads butter cream…so its super easy to spread it on the skin. It actually feels like cocoa cream..I just love applying it. It looks cream colored but goes on transparent on skin.
Pros:
1. Stands upto its claims…get instantly absorbed,is totally non greasy and enough moisturising.
2. As its aqua based,its super smooth to apply and does not give that sticky greasy feeling like cold creams.
3. Super cheap at Rs. 100/-
4. Comes seal packed on the top.
5. Quantity is amazing..and the texture is such how much ever you use..it would stay for a long time.
6. I have not used it on my face but its amazingly perfect for the body.
Cons:
1 Has parabens as preservatives.
2. Availability would be a problem for some.
3. The smell is of like usual cocoa butters..but I am ok with it and it goes away after some time.
4. As its in a jar, you have to dip your hands in and thats unhygienic.
5. It melts in heat..and turns into a runny liquid..though it still works..using it becomes a little difficult.
Rating:
Quality- 5/5
Value for money- 5/5
Availability- 3/5
Overall rating- 4.5/5
Would I buy it again: Yes…I would always…I want to try different variants of it…its one of the best creams or lotions I have used. I think you should surely try this if you get hold of Bio Glow. It makes for an amazing gift too.
Check out Tanveer’s review on Lavender royal jelly here and Jiya’s review on Papaya here
Have you tried Bio Glow ?
hi Bhumika, this one sounds great!
i will give it a try if it is available here.

Its papaya range is my fav.!! thought it’s almost impossible to finish it within 3-4 months. so I get tired of using it and tend to buy something new… but it’s a great moisturizer.
