CUPCAKE Original Little Baby Underarm Cream Review

Today I'll review on one of the popular beauty products from Thailand, that you can find on Instashop (Instagram), CUPCAKE Original Little Baby Underarm Cream.

Let us look at the packaging.

With cute packaging size that targets
young women from age 16 - 24.






















What it claims:

  • Soften & Whiten Underarms 
  • Moisturize Underarms 
  • Reduce Pigmentation
  • Long Lasting Odor Control 
  • Reduce Hair Growth
  • Can Be Used At Other Parts of Body

Ingredients:
Well, there isn't any formula nor ingredients stated at the back of the tub. So I roughly googled for the ingredients. 
  • Mulberry Extract 
  • Jojoba Oil
  • Shea Butter
  • Alcohol 
... and many other ingredients (with chemicals names) that looked unfamiliar to me.

Testing on the product.






















Directions
Apply twice a day after shower on dry skin.

Pros
It is a lightly scented cream. Strong scented creams are worse if you have body odor.

Cons
It doesn't absorb as it claims & is greasy too. I feel like I'm applying a layer of candle wax on my underarms. Probably this is to reduce the perspiration on underarms. Cream is also slightly overpriced at SGD$16 for a 50g tub, where most Instashop are selling it. 


 Question is.. Are Thailand made products safe & effective? 


Honestly, I think everyone should stay away from it. Most beauty products made in Thailand do not use specially controlled ingredients and are not scrutinized & approved by FDA. Labeling are all in Thai language & with restricted English language, so consumers doesn't have clear and appropriate information on usage & warning of safe use. 

I Say
Use natural & affordable deodorants such at AromaGuard Meadow Mist from Young Living . To achieve a lighter color & softer underarms skin, invest in a IPL Home Kit.
