WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS OF POLISH NATURAL COSMETICS

THE IMPORTANCE OF NATURAL INGREDIENTS For thousands of years, people have used natural substances, whether to improve their condition and health, or to treat or improve the condition of their skin. Natural medicine is the forerunner of natural cosmetics . Nature gives us many ingredients that we can use in natural cosmetics. These are thousands of raw materials, some of them easily available in Polish meadows and forests, and some from distant countries tested for thousands of years in Eastern medicine. Natural raw materials are a salvation for people surrounded by chemistry. It is worth emphasizing, however, that natural ingredients are not necessarily outdated. Nowadays, scientists have also returned to these ingredients and have studied them thoroughly. Scientists fascinated by traditional Asian medicine are studying Asian plants for use in medicines and cosmetics, and the results are sensational. Orientana has used these natural ingredients in our cosmetics. ASIAN PLANTS AND HERBS The most interesting ingredients used in natural cosmetics include Asian plants and herbs. Due to their origin, we will find them in Polish natural cosmetics. Their properties have been known for thousands of years and supported by scientific literature not only from ancient times but also by the latest scientific research. Natural cosmetics from Asian plants work effectively, especially those whose properties have been confirmed in Ayurveda, Chinese Natural Medicine and Tibetan Natural Medicine. Although difficult to access and unique due to their properties, they are sought after by many conscious and educated consumers. ALGAE AS AN INGREDIENT OF NATURAL COSMETICS Philippine Agave used in Orientana natural cosmetics are very rich in vitamins and microelements. The anti-aging effect is due to the vitamins E and C present in large quantities in the algae, as well as beta-carotene. Philippine Agave are known for their moisturizing, strengthening and skin protection effects. Philippine Algae work best as an ingredient in cosmetics for combination and oily skin - they perfectly regulate sebum secretion, have anti-inflammatory effects, reduce acne lesions and skin pores.

EXCELLENT INGREDIENT OF NATURAL COSMETICS FOR HAIR CARE – AMLA Natural cosmetics with amla are a traditional way of caring for hair in India. It is one of the most interesting cosmetic ingredients, but also an ingredient in food products. Amla is used to make tasty desserts and jams. It has a strengthening effect on the body. Amla used as an ingredient in natural cosmetics primarily strengthens the hair. It also works on the scalp, reducing inflammation and fighting dandruff. NOURISHING INGREDIENT OF NATURAL HAIR COSMETICS – CASSIA. Equally popular as amla, cassia, called neutral henna, is used in many natural hair conditioners. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties, so it has a beneficial effect on the scalp. Indian women use it for dermatitis, chronic inflammation and all kinds of problems related to the poor condition of the scalp. This small plant with yellow flowers, usually used in powder form, will repair the structure of the hair and make it soft and shiny. GINGER AS AN INGREDIENT OF NATURAL COSMETICS FOR THE FACE, BODY AND HAIR. Known mainly from the kitchen, ginger is a real treasure among the ingredients of natural cosmetics. Extremely rich in active substances, it has anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects. These aspects are perfect for facial cosmetics. Its antibacterial and sebum-limiting effects will help fight oily hair and inflammation of the scalp. We know from cooking recipes that ginger warms. Natural cosmetics with ginger will warm up our body, which will help increase circulation and fight cellulite and get rid of excess fat. IS IT WORTH USE OF SNAIL SLIME AS AN INGREDIENT OF NATURAL COSMETICS? Snail slime is a versatile ingredient. It is an active ingredient with a very strong effect. Rich in natural antibiotics, allantoin, glycolic acid, vitamins, collagen and elastin, it has a repairing, rejuvenating and regenerating effect, as well as soothing inflammation and irritated skin. In Asia, snail slime is often used after aesthetic medicine procedures and after deep surgical procedures. It also works on scars, causing them to disappear. Due to its versatile effect, snail slime can be used by people with mature skin who want to rejuvenate it, as well as young people with acne skin who want to eliminate acne. Currently, there are many cosmetics with snail slime on the market, but most of them are chemical cosmetics based on paraffin or other petroleum-derived ingredients. Orientana natural cosmetics with snail slime have a high natural composition and can boast that they are the first natural cosmetics with snail slime on the Polish market. JAPANESE ROSE – A SERIES OF NATURAL COSMETICS WITH A SCENTED ROSE Japanese Rose is mainly a component of oils and body butters. Orientana natural cosmetics also contain rose water, which you will find in the face tonic, among others. We use both rose petals and rose fruit. Rich in rejuvenating substances, vitamins, fruit acids and pectins, Japanese Rose helps in perfect hydration and rejuvenation of the skin and revitalization of the color. ASHWAGANDHA Ashwagandha is called Indian ginseng in India and is an herb effectively used in Ayurvedic medicine. Ashwagandha in cosmetics has anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. It is one of the most effective ingredients of natural cosmetics, which works perfectly in facial cosmetics. It is an active ingredient in facial scrubs and creams. PAPAYA Papaya is a fruit that we know and use in the kitchen. In Asia, papaya is used to make salads, desserts and soups. Asian women also use a papaya mask to whiten discolourations. The brightening effect in papaya is due to an enzyme called papain - it not only exfoliates discolourations but also protects the skin from discolourations. Papaya is an ingredient in a natural facial scrub, a natural face wash gel with rice particles, and also the Bio Essence Mask used at night. SAFFRON Saffron is one of the most expensive ingredients of natural cosmetics, which is why we rarely find it in the offer of other cosmetic companies. It was used thousands of years ago not only as a cosmetic but also as an aphrodisiac. Today, its effects have been confirmed by modern scientific research. Studies confirm that the active ingredients contained in saffron delay the skin aging process, limit the loss of moisture, inhibit the formation of discolorations and reduce the redness of irritated skin. Natural cosmetics with a high saffron content are primarily the Rich Cream and Hydrotherapy with Saffron Kumkumadi. KOREAN GINSENG Korean ginseng is a rare ingredient in Polish natural cosmetics. Unlike the weaker Siberian ginseng, it is much more difficult to obtain. Its cultivation is very limited, it occurs only in Asia. It is a recognized medicinal raw material. Scientists have discovered panaxoside in its composition. This is a highly active active substance that prolongs the life of cells, regenerates the skin and causes its rejuvenation. It can catch and destroy free radicals responsible for skin aging. It also has a detoxifying effect. You will find Korean ginseng in Bio Masks Essence for night skin care. NEEM Neem is a plant originating from India. It is one of the basic herbs of Ayurveda used not only as a medicine but also as an extract supporting the fight against skin problems. The Polish name is Indian lilac. Neem is a tree that commonly grows in India. Leaves, seeds, fruits, bark, flowers and roots are used. Neem extract has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.

Flowers are collected in summer, and the root is obtained in autumn or spring. The most valuable part of Chinese peony is the root rhizome and it is used in rejuvenating cosmetics. The active raw material contained in the root rhizome is the glycoside paeoniflorin. Its task is to protect the skin from aging, it has a firming and smoothing effect. Peony root can also be used in cosmetics supporting atopic dermatitis and treating acne. SHEA BUTTER Shea butter is made from the nuts of the shea tree. These nuts resemble plums in appearance. After harvesting, they are roasted and crushed, and then boiled, during which the actual butter collects on the surface. It is collected by hand and left to cool. Shea butter has very good moisturizing properties, thanks to which it protects the skin from losing water from the epidermis. The butter soothes irritations, accelerates wound healing and supports skin regeneration. It has not only a caring but also rejuvenating effect - it improves the elasticity and firmness of the skin.

HOW TO CARE FOR THE DELICATE SKIN AROUND YOUR EYES

WHY IS THE SKIN AROUND THE EYES SO DELICATE? The skin around the eyes is very thin and therefore sensitive. Due to the fact that it contains a small amount of collagen fibers and sebaceous glands, it is prone to drying out and when it is not provided with sufficient moisture, it easily loses elasticity and ages quickly. That is why it is so important to constantly and carefully care for it using appropriate cosmetics. Natural face creams will help fight the passage of time by making the skin on the cheeks and forehead more elastic, but if we want to smooth out facial wrinkles, the first and biggest sign of aging, let's focus primarily on good natural eye creams or an eye mask. WHAT AFFECTS THE APPEARANCE OF THE SKIN UNDER THE EYES? Many factors affect the condition of the skin around the eyes, but if you constantly experience bruising and swelling in this area, the most likely culprits are: inappropriate diet sleep deprivation long-term stress improper care Sometimes the appearance of the skin under the eyes is genetically determined, but in most cases, appropriate cosmetics and systematic care are enough to restore freshness and radiance to the eyes. HOW TO CARE FOR THE SKIN AROUND THE EYES? It is not recommended to use regular, natural face creams for the skin around the eyes. Instead, it is better to choose products intended for use only on this part of the face - they are dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested, so we can be sure that we will not irritate the conjunctiva. In addition, in eye creams and masks we will find a completely different concentration of active ingredients than in typical, natural face creams, they also do not contain peeling substances and do not shrink the skin's pores like a natural face cream. WHICH NATURAL EYE CREAMS TO USE? When choosing an eye cream, special attention should be paid to its main active ingredient, because it determines the properties of the product. If we choose a natural eye cream with snail slime, we can be sure that it will regenerate, nourish and firm the skin around the eyes. On the other hand, a natural, complex, brightening and ultra-moisturizing bio eye cream containing Japanese honeysuckle extract will guarantee optimal hydration and brightening of the skin under the eyes. WHICH NATURAL EYE MASKS TO USE? Disposable eye masks are the easiest and fastest way to get rid of all imperfections in this part of the face, so it's worth having them with you at all times. Depending on your needs, you can choose a natural silk eye mask rosemary that eliminates puffiness, a natural silk eye mask cascarilla that smooths wrinkles, or a natural silk eye mask Japanese rose that moisturizes and brightens dark circles. Such masks can be used independently of natural face creams, or they can be combined if you want comprehensive facial skin care.

HOW TO STORE NATURAL COSMETICS?

WHAT DO COSMETICS NOT LIKE? Cosmetics are quite demanding when it comes to storage. They need the right conditions to ensure their durability, i.e. the right temperature and protection from harmful factors. Moisture has the most adverse effect on them, as excess water promotes the growth of bacteria and microorganisms. High temperatures also have a negative effect on them, so they should avoid radiators, the sun and other sources of heat. It is also worth limiting the air supply, which could cause them to ventilate and dry out. HOW TO STORE NATURAL COSMETICS? Natural cosmetics they feel best in dry, cool and shaded places. Most of them should be stored at room temperature, i.e. not too low (minimum 18°C), but also not too high (maximum 25°C), and also protected from light, both natural and artificial, because they are photosensitive. It is best to follow the instructions on the packaging - there is always information there about what rules should be followed so that a given cosmetic maintains its properties for as long as possible. WHERE TO STORE NATURAL COSMETICS? Many people store cosmetics in the bathroom - this is certainly a good place for soap or shampoo, but other cosmetic products are better kept in the room. Especially for natural cosmetics, with a low content of preservatives, the bathroom is not a good choice, because it is humid. Some manufacturers of natural cosmetics recommend storing their products in the refrigerator, but only a few exceptions need such low temperatures. In most cases, room temperature is enough, so the best solution is to store cosmetics in the bedroom. HOW LONG CAN COSMETICS BE USED AFTER OPENING? Natural cosmetics, like food products, have expiration dates that should not be exceeded. However, they also have a set time frame that specifies how long a given product can be used after opening. This information is usually found on the packaging – look for an open jar icon, next to it there should be a number of months guaranteeing the product will be usable. Most natural cosmetics can be stored for 3 to 24 months after opening – these expiration dates should always be strictly adhered to. WHY SHOULD COSMETIC PACKAGING BE TIGHT? It is very important that the packaging in which we store cosmetics is tight, this way we prevent: the negative impact of harmful external factors; the reproduction of bacteria and microorganisms; loss or change of the original properties of cosmetics; If the original packaging of the cosmetic has been damaged, we should definitely find a replacement for it, remembering that the new packaging should be equally tight. Sometimes such replacements can be found on the manufacturer's website. Orientana, for example, has a special box for balms in its offer, which will allow you to take care of the proper storage of this cosmetic and allow you to enjoy its effective effects for a long time.

HOW ORIENTANA CAME TO BE

Did you know that Orientana is a Polish brand? Although these are natural cosmetics made from Asian plants, they are created by a Polish woman. A Polish woman in love with Asia and a natural lifestyle. The creation of Orientana was preceded by several important facts in my life: A few years ago, I focused on nature. I switched my whole family to a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle. I gave up processed food, started teaching my children to read labels and live ecologically. The reason for this change was, among other things, my visits to Asian countries, where people live close to nature and greatly appreciate its value. I visited many Asian countries where I learned about natural medicine, Ayurveda and amazing plants, whose beneficial effects have been known in those regions for thousands of years. I also learned about cosmetics with natural, simple compositions, the formulas of which are different from European ones. I decided to combine my passion for natural cosmetics and Asia with work. This is how Orientana was created - natural cosmetics made from Asian plants. The best specialists and Ayurvedic doctors in India and scientists from Poland who specialize in natural formulas work for Orientana. I create cosmetic concepts, and they transform them into a natural product. Without compromise, always with the best natural composition, as innovative and unique as possible. I want my brand to stand out among cosmetics with its full naturalness, high quality and Asian ingredients. I want it to be available and enjoyable for every Polish woman. I hope you will love Orientan as much as I do.

ACNE SCARS? TRY A CREAM WITH SNAIL SLIME

Acne scars are a common dermatological problem that can significantly affect self-esteem and quality of life. One natural ingredient that can help reduce these scars is snail slime. In this article, we will discuss how snail slime can help treat acne scars and other methods to reduce them. Acne Scars - Causes and Types Acne scars are the result of inflammation that leads to damage to skin tissue. They form during the healing process of the skin when the body produces excess or deficiency of collagen. Acne scars are permanent and can significantly affect the appearance of the skin, causing aesthetic discomfort. There are different types of scars, including concave, convex, and linear. Types of Acne Scars Acne scars are permanent changes in the skin structure, resulting from impaired healing of acne-related inflammation. Their appearance and depth depend on many factors, such as the severity of acne, genetic predisposition, care method, and mechanical interference, such as squeezing or scratching the lesions. In cosmetology, there are several types of acne scars, each of which requires an individual therapeutic approach. The most common are concave, or atrophic, scars, which are formed as a result of the loss of collagen and elastic skin fibers at the site of healing inflammation. There are three main types in this group: "ice pick" scars - narrow, deep and resembling pinpricks, "boxcar" scars - wider, with clearly marked edges and a rectangular shape, and "rolling" scars - with a wavy surface, which cause unevenness of the skin and are the result of tissue adhesions in the deeper layers of the skin. The second type are raised scars, or hypertrophic scars, and keloids. They are caused by excessive collagen synthesis during the healing process, which leads to the scar being raised above the skin surface. Hypertrophic scars are usually limited to the site of the original injury, while keloids can grow beyond its boundaries. These types of changes are more often observed in people who are prone to scarring, especially in the chest, back, and jaw area. The last category is linear scars, which are caused by mechanical damage to the skin, most often by scratching or improper removal of acne lesions. These types of scars take the form of thin, longitudinal lines and can be shallow or deeper, depending on the intensity of the injury. Accurate assessment of the type of acne scars is crucial in selecting appropriate cosmetic and dermatological treatments, such as microneedling, chemical peels, laser therapy or hyaluronic acid treatments. Each type of acne scar requires an individual therapeutic approach, taking into account the skin structure and the degree of advancement of changes. Acne Scars - Can They Be Prevented? Preventing acne scars is possible, but requires a conscious and consistent approach to skin care and a quick response to emerging inflammatory changes. The key is to treat acne appropriately at an early stage - the sooner the inflammatory process is stopped, the lower the risk of damaging the deeper layers of the skin, and therefore acne scars may not occur. One of the most common mistakes that contribute to scarring is mechanical removal of lesions – squeezing, scratching or pressing on immature pimples. Such actions can lead to damage to the skin structure, secondary bacterial infections and more intense inflammation, which significantly increases the risk of scarring, especially in the forehead, back or jaw area. Additionally, a key preventative factor is thorough facial cleansing. If you use SPF or wear makeup, a double cleanse is essential. Two-step facial cleansing is a method that originates from Asian care rituals and has also gained recognition in European cosmetology. Its effectiveness is based on the precise removal of impurities soluble in both fats and water, without disturbing the natural hydrolipid barrier of the skin. The first stage of cleansing is based on the use of an oil-based product – this can be Golden Orange oil. Lipid substances effectively dissolve sebum, makeup, sunscreens and environmental pollutants that accumulate on the skin's surface during the day. The cosmetic is spread with dry hands on dry facial skin, gently massaging, and then rinsed off with warm water or removed with a damp cloth. The second step involves using a water-based product – most often a gel or foam. This step removes any oily product residue and water-soluble impurities, such as sweat, dust and smog particles. A well-chosen water-based product should cleanse effectively but gently, without causing dryness or a feeling of tightness. In scar prevention, daily, well-chosen care of acne skin is extremely important. Cosmetics should have anti-inflammatory, regulating and regenerative effects, while not irritating or drying the skin. Ingredients such as niacinamide, zinc, azelaic acid or panthenol can soothe inflammation and support healing processes without overstimulating the sebaceous glands. It is also worth considering a gentle enzymatic peeling, such as Kali Musli Peeling, which will help remove dead skin cells, smooth the skin surface and improve the absorption of active ingredients from cosmetics. The peeling should be performed 1-2 times a week, avoiding irritation of skin affected by active inflammation. In the case of moderate or severe acne, a dermatologist consultation and pharmacological treatment may be necessary. Anti-inflammatory drugs, retinoids, topical or oral antibiotics can effectively control the lesions before they develop into permanent skin lesions. Early therapeutic intervention significantly reduces the risk of scarring complications. Snail Slime - Active Ingredient for Acne Scars Snail slime is one of the most valued ingredients in regenerative cosmetology, especially recommended for skin care with acne scars. Its rich biological composition means that it has a multifaceted effect: it supports healing, improves skin texture, reduces the visibility of scars and discolorations, and restores a healthy appearance to the skin. One of the key ingredients of snail slime is allantoin, which has strong soothing and regenerative properties. It accelerates the healing process of micro-damages in the epidermis, supports tissue reconstruction and makes acne scars less visible. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory effects, which is particularly important in the care of skin prone to acne. Glycolic acid, present in snail slime, is a natural alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates dead skin cells. This facilitates the process of cell renewal, lightens acne discolorations and smoothes the skin's texture. Its action improves the skin's color and texture, making it more uniform and radiant. Additionally, snail slime contains collagen and elastin, structural proteins responsible for skin elasticity, firmness and elasticity. Their presence supports repair processes in the deeper layers of the skin and increases its resistance to the formation of new scars and defects. Thanks to the synergy of these ingredients, snail slime works comprehensively - it not only soothes and regenerates, but also improves the appearance of skin with imperfections. Regular use of preparations containing this ingredient can significantly reduce the visibility of acne scars and restore the skin's smoothness and healthy color. Application of Snail Slime in Removing Scars Snail slime is used in the form of creams and ointments. Regular use can improve skin texture, moisturize it and gradually reduce acne scars. The Orientana Cream with Snail Slime works very well, where in addition to snail slime (Snail Secretion Filtrate), which has a strong regenerating function and supports the reduction of acne scars, the cosmetic contains many other active substances with a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin. Boerhavia Diffusa Root Extract is an extract from the root of the punarnawa, has a soothing, brightening and anti-inflammatory effect. Reduces redness and supports an even skin tone. Sodium Hyaluronate - a salt of hyaluronic acid, strongly moisturizes, smoothes the skin and supports regenerative processes. Helps maintain elasticity and firmness. Camellia Kissi Seed Oil - camellia seed oil, rich in antioxidants and unsaturated fatty acids. Supports regeneration, protects against water loss and has anti-aging effects. The cream's composition is rich in moisturizing, regenerating, soothing and antioxidant substances, which together support the process of rebuilding skin with imperfections, including acne scars. Thanks to the synergy of snail slime with natural oils, plant extracts and active substances, the product works comprehensively, improving the texture, color and overall condition of the skin. acne scars - home remedies Acne scars are a common aesthetic problem, and at home you can use natural ingredients and proven techniques that support the regeneration process of the epidermis, lighten discolorations and improve the skin's structure. One of the most popular substances used in home care is fresh aloe, which has soothing, moisturizing and regenerating effects. Aloe gel contains vitamins, enzymes and amino acids that support skin healing and help even out skin tone. Regular use of fresh aloe leaf gel or a ready-made preparation can bring visible results in lightening fresh scars. Another effective ingredient is honey, especially raw or manuka, which has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and regenerative properties. It can be used as a mask or spot on acne scars – it improves skin elasticity, aids healing and gently lightens acne discolorations. In home care, it is also worth using lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, which, thanks to the fruit acids contained, gently exfoliate dead skin and lighten acne spots. However, they should be used with caution, because they can irritate sensitive skin. Always wash them off after a few minutes and use sunscreen during the day to avoid secondary discoloration. Vegetable oils, such as rosehip oil, tamanu oil or carrot seed oil, are natural sources of vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants. They support skin regeneration, improve its structure and color, and at the same time soothe irritations. They can be used alone or as an addition to homemade masks. Home methods can be an effective supplement to daily care and support the regeneration of skin with acne scars, but they require systematicity and patience. The effects appear gradually, so it is worth using them regularly and in combination with well-chosen cosmetic care. When acne scars are deep, it is recommended to consult a cosmetologist or dermatologist to choose an effective specialist therapy. Acne scars - removal with professional methods In addition to home care methods that can support the skin regeneration process, in the case of more established or deep acne scars, it is worth reaching for professional treatment methods. Modern therapies are available in a cosmetology or dermatology office that can effectively reduce the visibility of scars, improve the skin texture and restore its uniform color. Acne scars are effectively reduced by laser therapy. It involves precise damage to the skin's microlayers using a beam of light, which stimulates intensive production of collagen and elastin and starts regeneration processes. Depending on the type of scars and skin type, ablative lasers (e.g. CO₂) or non-ablative lasers (e.g. fractional) are used. The treatment leads to gradual smoothing of scars and leveling of the skin surface. Microneedle radiofrequency (RF microneedle) combines the action of microneedles with the energy of radio waves. The needles penetrate deep layers of the skin, delivering heat to the tissues and stimulating intensive collagen reconstruction. This treatment effectively improves skin firmness, smoothes its structure and reduces depressions and unevenness caused by acne scars. It is a safe method with a short recovery time. Mesoter a pia is a procedure that involves the introduction of active substances into the skin – such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids or biomimetic peptides – using micro-injections. This therapy improves skin hydration, nourishment and elasticity, and also supports its regeneration. Regular mesotherapy sessions can help smooth out minor scars and improve the overall condition of the skin. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous method that uses plasma obtained from the patient's blood. It is rich in growth factors that strongly stimulate tissue regeneration, collagen synthesis and cellular reconstruction. This treatment is especially recommended for people looking for natural methods of skin renewal, including in the case of more difficult to eliminate acne scars. Professional treatments should be selected individually, depending on the type of scars, skin condition and expected results. In many cases, the best results are achieved by combining several methods as part of a combined therapy. Regular treatments and cooperation with an experienced cosmetology or dermatology specialist are the key to success in the fight against acne scars. The choice of method depends on the type of scars, their severity, and the individual needs of the person suffering from acne scars. If acne scars cannot be reduced with care, it is worth consulting a dermatologist to choose the most effective solution.

Snails were used for their regenerative and moisturizing properties, although the active ingredients of their slime were not fully understood at that time. Modern interest in snail slime was revived in the 1980s when snail farmers in Chile noticed that their hands were exceptionally smooth and healed quickly from cuts. This discovery attracted the attention of scientists who began to study the properties of the slime, leading to its use in cosmetics. The first snail cream was introduced to the market by a Chilean company in the 1990s. As a result of research, Elicina created the first commercial cream containing snail slime, which started a global trend in cosmetics. The product became popular first in South America and then in other markets, especially in Asia, where cosmetics containing natural ingredients gained huge recognition. The importance of snail slime is not limited to the cosmetics industry. Traditionally, it has also been used in natural medicine, especially in treating infections and accelerating tissue regeneration. Today, its use is mainly focused on skin care, where its unique regenerative properties are invaluable. POPULARITY OF SNAIL SLIME IN KOREA As a Polish expert brand using Asian ingredients in cosmetics, we became interested in Korean skin care using snail slime a dozen or so years ago. This ingredient has gained huge popularity in Korea and has become one of the pillars of the global success of Korean skin care (so-called K-beauty). Its phenomenon is based on numerous benefits for the skin, such as regeneration, moisturization and wrinkle reduction. The Korean approach to skin care focuses on prevention and healthy appearance, which perfectly matches the action of snail slime. Thanks to its regenerative and moisturizing abilities, it has been used in a wide range of products, such as creams, serums, masks and essences. What's more, Koreans value natural and innovative ingredients, and snail slime fits perfectly into this philosophy.

In this case, it is recommended to perform an allergy test before fully using the product. Due to its natural composition, allergic reactions are rare, but can occur, especially if the product contains additional chemicals. Where do we buy snail slime from? In response to the growing demand for snail slime, ecological farms have emerged, where snails are bred in environmentally friendly conditions. On such farms, snails are fed natural food, and the slime is obtained humanely, without harming the animals. The slime is obtained using non-invasive methods, e.g. by gently stimulating the snails, which causes them to secrete slime. Then the snails are returned to their natural environment, where they continue their normal life. One of the basic principles of the Orientana brand is not to use ingredients to the detriment of animals. We attach great importance to ensuring that snails are bred humanely. Countries where snail slime cream is the most popular Creams with snail slime are particularly popular in Asia, especially in South Korea, which is a pioneer in the production of innovative cosmetics. In recent years, snail slime has also gained popularity in Poland. MUCIN Mucins are a family of heavily glycosylated proteins that are secreted by snails for adhesion, hydration, lubrication, and other functions. Despite their ubiquity, snail mucins are largely uncharacterized. Snails produce mucin proteins in their mucus with a wide range of biological functions, including microbial defense, adhesion, and lubrication. Recently, snail mucins have also become a lucrative source of innovation with a wide range of applications in chemistry, biology, biotechnology, and biomedicine. In particular, snail mucins are used as skin care products, wound healing agents, surgical adhesives, and for the treatment of gastric ulcers. Recent advances in integrated omics (genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, glycomic) technologies have improved the characterization of snail mucins, enhancing the generation of new biomaterials. Therapeutic applications of snail mucin in medicine have been explored as antimicrobial agents, drug carriers, anticancer agents, wound healing agents, and biomaterial coatings, among others. Additionally, applications in cosmetics include anti-aging care, moisturization, anti-acne, scarring, and hyperpigmentation. It is important to emphasize that most of the studies conducted are preclinical studies or small clinical trials, which underscores the need for additional large-scale clinical trials to support these claims. The global market for snail mucin products is estimated to be worth between $457 million and $1.2 billion, with growth forecasts in the coming decade. snail slime filtrate In fact, at Orientana we use snail slime filtrate.

Raw slime contains water, proteins, enzymes, trace minerals, and other substances that may contain contaminants. The purification process is designed to eliminate unwanted substances such as dead cells, bacteria, and environmental pollutants. After purification, the mucus is filtered several times to obtain a pure and concentrated product that is ready to be used in cosmetics. During the filtration process, the mucus is transformed into a filtrate – a light, watery solution that easily penetrates the skin while preserving all the valuable active ingredients. The filtrate must be stabilized to maintain its properties over a long period of time. Therefore, appropriate preservatives or auxiliary substances are added to prevent decomposition and maintain the biological activity of the ingredients contained. Active ingredients in snail slime filtrate Snail slime filtrate contains a number of active ingredients that have a beneficial effect on the skin: Allantoin – accelerates cell regeneration, soothes and supports healing.
