  We were taken to this garden by a “local friend” and in our opinion badly overcharged for cosmetics i.e. around LKR 5000 each. During our trip we found very similar cream for 10 times less costing LKR 390 in an identical container but slightly bigger in size. We don’t know the difference in ingredients used (we’ll try to check it when back to the EU in a lab as some say in more expensive creams no vaseline is present) although locals have confirmed it’s a rip off. There are many warning reviews on trip advisor. There is a good sales technique used to make tourists feel obliged they should buy something after a presentation is made. Also, a tip is expected for students that carry out massages. So, beware of such places. This one wasn’t even listed on google maps so doubt it's legit and marked it in order to warn others.
