We used exosomes - Do you know them?

In recent years, cosmetology and aesthetic medicine have increasingly reached for solutions inspired by biological mechanisms of body regeneration. We see that the number of treatments with the latest discoveries confirmed by scientific clinical studies is growing. One of the newest and most promising discoveries in this field are exosomes – microscopic extracellular vesicles that play a key role in skin cell communication. Exosomes are naturally produced during cellular processes and are secreted by various cell types, including stem cells, fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Their main task is to transport signaling substances – such as proteins, peptides, RNA and lipids – that regulate skin regeneration, skin healing and skin barrier reconstruction. The interest in regenerative therapies in cosmetology is systematically growing. We are increasingly looking for cosmetics and treatments that not only mask the signs of aging, but actually improve the condition of the skin at the cellular level. These modern intercellular communication systems fit perfectly into this trend as a component with a strong repair and anti-inflammatory effect, which supports the natural mechanisms of the cells of the dermis. Thanks to the ability to transfer information between cells, exosomes open a new chapter in regenerative cosmetology. What are exosomes? These are nano-vesicular structures of cellular origin that act as information transmitters between cells. They are tiny, lipid-membrane-enclosed vesicles with a diameter of 30–150 nanometers that are naturally secreted by various types of cells. They are formed inside the cell in so-called multivesicular bodies and then released into the extracellular space. Their primary task is to transport bioactive molecules – such as proteins, lipids, microRNA, growth factors and enzymes – to other cells, thereby initiating and regulating various biological processes, including the acceleration of skin regeneration , immune response and the course of inflammation. They can be obtained from different types of cells, which affects their biological properties and application. In cosmetology and aesthetic medicine, exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are most often used, because they contain a particularly rich set of regenerative and anti-inflammatory factors. Other sources of exosomes include keratinocytes (cells of the epidermis), fibroblasts (cells responsible for the production of collagen and elastin) and immune cells. The type of cell from which these biological signalling vesicles come determines their function – some are more effective in accelerating skin regeneration, others have better anti-inflammatory or immunomodulatory properties, and still others are used to improve skin tone and rejuvenate the skin. Although they are often compared to other active ingredients, such as peptides or cytokines, they differ fundamentally. While these substances act individually and locally, biological signaling nanovesicles are complex “delivery systems” for multiple biological signals simultaneously. Scientific clinical studies have shown that they are able to deliver their charges to the interior of cells in a targeted manner, which significantly increases their effectiveness. Thanks to the lipid coating, their content does not degrade in contact with the environment, and their microscopic size allows them to penetrate deeper layers of the skin. In other words, they not only deliver active ingredients, but also "teach" cells how to behave - for example, how to start skin cell renewal, calm inflammation or initiate collagen production. These are wonderful ingredients that work effectively on skin aging. Serum with exosomes from Orientana One of the best Orientana cosmetics is the modern Serum with exosomes. Hydro-Moisturizing Serum for facial skin. Exosomes used in this cosmetic come from Calendula Officinalis Meristem Cell Culture stem cells, Biological signal nanobubbles used in the serum act at the cellular level, which is why visible wrinkle reduction is observed. They stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, restoring skin firmness and improving skin tension. Additionally, they contribute to increasing skin thickness, which improves its structure and resistance to external factors. By strengthening the hydrolipid barrier, thanks to the reinforcement with snow mushroom extract (tremella), they provide intensive skin hydration, and their brightening properties make the skin more uniform, which is manifested by smoothing and soothing existing discolorations. The effect is a healthier, younger and more radiant appearance of the skin. The serum not only effectively supports regenerative processes and improves the appearance of the skin, but is especially appreciated by skin prone to breakouts and shine. After use, there is an immediate improvement in color, the complexion is full of radiance, and the skin is less oily. Exosomes in Serum - InnovaStemCell Calendula® Exosomes obtained from InnovaStemCell Calendula® W significantly improve the appearance, structure and condition of the skin. This ingredient reduces wrinkles, intensively moisturizes, smoothes, brightens and evens out the skin tone. Additionally, it has a soothing and anti-aging effect, and the effects are visible after 2-4 weeks of regular use. InnovaStemCell Calendula® Studies Have Shown: Wrinkle reduction: After 28 days of using the cream with 4% InnovaStemCell Calendula® W, wrinkle depth decreased by an average of 38.3% , while in the placebo group only by 6.25%. Intensive hydration: A preparation with 4% of this ingredient improved the skin's moisture level by as much as 74.17% after 28 days, and after just 14 days the increase in moisture was over 42%. Increasing skin thickness and elasticity: Visible "filling" and thickening of the skin - after 4 weeks, skin thickness increased by an average of 58.3% and elasticity by 23.3% . Smoothing and brightening the complexion: Skin became smoother ( 59% increase) and brighter and more radiant ( 25.8% increase in skin brightness after 28 days). Reduction of discoloration: Participants noticed a significant reduction in discoloration and acne scars ( 33.3% reduction in pigmentation). Color evenness: Skin tone evenness improved by 54.2% after one month of use. High tolerance and safety: Studies have shown no side effects or irritations even at higher concentrations of the ingredient. Exosomes in aesthetic medicine Biological signal vesicles in aesthetic treatments are an innovative technology that revolutionizes the approach to tissue regeneration. These microscopic extracellular vesicles (30–150 nm in size), naturally secreted by cells, especially stem cells with the main task of transmitting biological signals, contain growth factors, RNA, peptides, enzymes and lipids that support intercellular communication. Thanks to this, they are able to activate skin regeneration processes without the need for direct administration of cells. Exosome treatments are becoming increasingly popular in professional medical cosmetology clinics. They are most often combined with technologies that disrupt the epidermal barrier, such as microneedling (e.g. dermapen), fractional laser or microneedle radiofrequency. Exosome treatments using this technique make them reach deeper layers of the skin faster, where they stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, improving firmness, elasticity and the overall condition of the skin. They also have strong anti-inflammatory properties, which shortens the recovery time and reduces the risk of complications after invasive procedures. In aesthetic medicine, exosomes are used not only in anti-aging therapies. They are also successfully used in reducing acne scars, discolorations, treating atopic dermatitis, sun damage or in therapies for sensitive and reactive skin. Biological signal vesicles also support the treatment of androgenetic and telogen effluvium by stimulating hair growth and improving microcirculation of the scalp. Their action is not only based on a temporary aesthetic effect, but on deep, biological tissue regeneration. ASCE Exosomes In aesthetic treatments, the ASCE™ exosome treatment has gained great popularity. ASCE exosomes (Advanced Stem Cell Exosome) are an advanced form of cell-derived exosomes, most often obtained from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), and are designed to maximize regenerative and anti-aging effects. ASCE exosomes are produced in controlled laboratory conditions using strict protocols, ensuring their high purity, safety and repeatability. They are free of DNA, cell nucleus and contaminants, which distinguishes them from some other biological preparations. They contain over 200 types of proteins, peptides, cytokines, growth factors, lipids and RNA, and are most often used in the treatment of aging skin, with discolorations, to eliminate acne scars, to stimulate hair growth or as preparations supporting tissue healing after procedures (e.g. micro-needling, laser, HIFU). They are available both as a component of professional cosmetics and in the form of ampoules for microneedle mesotherapy. They are often used in combination with transdermal therapies (e.g. microneedling, dermapen), which increases their bioavailability. They work well as a regenerative treatment with a deep effect. The ASCE exosome treatment gives very good results, but costs several thousand zlotys, e.g. the Dermapen treatment costs around 3 thousand zlotys. The duration of the treatment is 15-30 minutes. Number of treatments - from 3 to 5 at intervals of 3-4 weeks. Contraindications to the treatment include pregnancy and breastfeeding, autoimmune diseases or neoplastic diseases. The mechanism of action of exosomes on the skin They exhibit an extremely versatile biological effect, which makes them exceptional ingredients in regenerative cosmetology. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that they are not a single active ingredient, but a complex carrier of bioactive molecules, capable of modifying the behavior of skin cells. They are like materials for strengthening the natural scaffolding of the skin, not only providing "building material" for but also transmitting signals regulating repair and anti-inflammatory processes. One of the key functions of exosomes is the transport of bioactive molecules such as proteins, lipids, enzymes and microRNA. These substances penetrate the interior of target cells and affect their metabolism and gene expression. Thanks to their structure – a lipid envelope resembling a cell membrane – they are stable and able to effectively cross biological barriers, which allows for precise delivery of information deep into the skin. The action of exosomes also includes the stimulation of tissue regeneration. The growth factors they provide, such as TGF-β (transforming) or EGF (epidermal), activate fibroblasts to produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The effect is an improvement in skin density and firmness, wrinkle reduction and accelerated healing of micro-damages. This action is of great importance not only in anti-aging therapy, but also in the treatment of scars, excessive pigmentation or skin damaged by aesthetic treatments. Another important aspect is the modulation of inflammation and oxidative stress, which is responsible for premature skin aging. Exosomes contain immunomodulatory factors that can calm excessive skin inflammation, limiting cellular damage and supporting skin balance. The microRNAs they contain can also affect the expression of genes related to oxidative response, reducing the amount of free radicals and inhibiting degenerative processes. Their immunomodulatory properties are used to regulate the activity of the skin's immune system, also influencing the condition of sensitive skin and skin prone to acne. The fundamental role of exosomes is also supporting intercellular communication, or so-called paracrine signaling. It is this ability – transmitting biological signals from one cell to another – that allows them to coordinate repair and rebuilding processes in the entire structure of the skin. Thanks to this, they do not act point-wise, but trigger a regenerative cascade encompassing many cells and tissues. As a result, the skin regains its ability to self-regenerate, i.e. skin regeneration processes by itself, and its barrier and structural functions are significantly improved. Application of exosomes in cosmetics Thanks to their advanced biological structure and ability to transmit information between cells, they are increasingly used in new generation cosmetics. Their presence in care formulas allows not only for intensive acceleration of facial regeneration, but also for real support of its physiological functions. Unlike many traditional active ingredients, these microscopic signal vesicles act not on the surface, but on the cellular level, restoring the skin's ability to repair itself. One of the key areas of exosome application is the regenerative processes of mature and damaged skin. Skin, which loses its ability to effectively regenerate with age, requires support at the cellular level - and this is where microscopic information vesicles operate. Exosomes contain growth factors and microRNA, which is why they support the proliferation of keratinocytes and fibroblasts, rebuild the structure of the dermis and stimulate collagen synthesis. As a result, the thickness and elasticity of the skin improves, as well as its ability to retain water and defend against external factors. Cosmetics containing exosomes are also an effective element of anti-aging therapy. Thanks to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, these ingredients counteract damage caused by free radicals, inhibit micro-inflammation accompanying skin aging (so-called inflammaging) and limit the degradation of supporting fibers. Regular use of products with exosomes can lead to visible wrinkle reduction, improved skin firmness and improved skin tone. Importantly, their effect is not only superficial - they activate deep repair processes, increasing the durability and effectiveness of the rejuvenation treatment. Another important area of ​​application of exosomes in cosmetics is the reduction of scars, acne symptoms, reduction of acne scars and skin redness, healing of skin cells, improvement of skin tone. They can affect the regulation of sebaceous glands and alleviate chronic inflammation typical of acne skin. In addition, they support the even healing of skin lesions and prevent the formation of hypertrophic scars or post-inflammatory discolorations. In the case of skin with disturbed pigmentation, they support control over melanogenesis processes, which leads to the unification of skin tone and lightening of spots. For this reason, they are a valuable ingredient in formulas intended for the care of problematic skin requiring special care. Safety and effectiveness of exosomes The advantage of exosome therapy is its high safety profile. Unlike stem cells, these nano-cellular messengers do not contain a cell nucleus, so they do not carry the risk of genetic transformation or immune response. Products such as ASCE™ exosomes are additionally purified and standardized in laboratory conditions, which ensures their purity and effectiveness. What's more, they are compatible with most aesthetic treatments, so they can be easily implemented as part of combined therapies. These modern intercellular communication systems represent the future of aesthetic medicine – regenerative, targeted and safe. They not only improve the appearance of the skin, but also have a real impact on its functioning at the cellular level. This is a technology that combines the latest biological discoveries with the needs of modern cosmetology and aesthetics. As research develops and new forms of application are implemented, cellular nanobubbles have the potential to become the gold standard in skin aging therapy and supporting regenerative processes. The effects of exosome treatment in cosmetology have generated great interest not only because of their regenerative potential, but also because of their high safety profile. Unlike many biological substances, they are well tolerated, biocompatible and do not trigger an immune response. Their natural origin and mechanism of action based on physiological cellular communication make them an attractive and safe ingredient in modern cosmetic preparations. The effectiveness of exosomes has been confirmed in numerous in vitro and clinical studies. In laboratory conditions, the use of exosomes derived from MSC has been shown to support fibroblast proliferation, stimulate the production of type I and III collagen, and limit the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 or TNF-α. Clinical studies conducted on patients with signs of skin aging, discoloration or acne scars indicate a significant improvement in skin parameters - including firmness, hydration, skin density and improvement in skin tone. Importantly, the results are usually long-lasting, and the side effects - if any - are minimal and limited to temporary redness after the treatments. Compared to stem cells, new generation signaling molecules have numerous practical and safety advantages. Stem cells, despite their high regenerative potential, carry the risk of immunogenicity, genetic variability, and difficulties in storage and standardization. As a "by-product" of cell activity, they are devoid of cell nucleus and DNA material, so they do not pose a risk of neoplastic transformation or cause a rejection reaction. They are easier to purify, more stable, and more predictable in action, making them a better alternative in the context of local use in cosmetics and aesthetic treatments. However, the high quality and safety of exosomes used in cosmetic products depend on compliance with rigorous manufacturing standards. Advanced preparations, such as ASCE™ exosomes, are obtained in laboratory conditions compliant with the principles of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). These processes include thorough purification of exosomes, elimination of cellular impurities and standardization of the content of bioactive components. Only products that meet the appropriate standards can be safely used on the skin, especially in regenerative and perioperative therapies. In the case of consumer cosmetics, new generation signaling molecules tested toxicologically and dermatologically are also increasingly used, which increases user confidence and effectiveness. Considering the above perspectives, these intelligent cellular communicators have the potential to become one of the pillars of the future of cosmetology and regenerative dermatology. Their versatility – from the ability to accelerate healing and reduce scars, through stimulating hair growth, to the potential for skin rejuvenation – makes them a unique tool in the hands of specialists. Of course, many challenges still lie ahead. Further improvement of their production methods and standardization, thorough clinical studies confirming their effectiveness and ensuring the full safety of such therapies are necessary. However, the results so far are very promising. If science manages to fully harness the potential of these nano-bubbles, cosmetology may experience a real revolution. Perhaps in a few years, exosome-based products will become a standard element of beauty and dermatology clinics, offering patients personalized, effective, and naturally acting care. The use of exosomes combines the world of cell biology with the practice of beautifying and treating the skin – and such a synergy of science and beauty can result in amazing effects. It is very likely that they will be one of the foundations of the upcoming era of regenerative cosmetology, in which therapy focuses on stimulating the body's internal repair capabilities and targeted delivery of youth stimuli for our skin.

WHICH COSMETICS HYDRATE THE SKIN?

WHY IS IT WORTH HYDRATION OF YOUR SKIN? Moisturizing and hydrating are key elements of proper skin care, especially important for those with dry and mature skin. Why? Because dry and dehydrated skin does not look very attractive: it is gray, tired and sagging, it is easily irritated and ages faster. So if you want your skin to look beautiful and stay healthy for many years, try to constantly take care of its proper level of moisture and hydration. HOW CAN YOU HYDRATE YOUR SKIN? The skin can be hydrated in two ways: from the inside and from the outside. The basis is of course the intake of the right amount of fluids (approx. 2 liters a day). It is worth noting, however, that fluids supplied to the body can come not only from drinks, but also from food products, such as fruits and vegetables, such as apples, oranges, radishes or cucumbers, which consist of 80% - 90% water. External hydration, in turn, will be provided by properly selected natural cosmetics. WHICH NATURAL COSMETICS PROMOTE HYDRATION? When choosing skin hydrating cosmetics, it is essential to pay attention to their composition, especially the active ingredients contained in them, because the effect of the preparation depends mainly on these ingredients. Let's reach for natural cosmetics in the form of creams and masks, containing saffron, aloe and other herbs that store large amounts of water, and bio serum, stimulating the production of hyaluronic acid, which perfectly binds moisture in the skin. WHAT ARE THE BEST COSMETICS FOR HYDRATION OF THE SKIN? Our offer includes many skin hydrating cosmetics, including: natural bio face serum brahmi & hyaluronic acid ; hydrotherapy with saffron ; hydrotherapy with turmeric ; natural silk face mask with ginkgo biloba and aloe ; natural glow mask pink cherry . Each of these natural cosmetics has a multifaceted and comprehensive moisturizing effect, which means that it hydrates both the epidermis and the deep layers of the skin, and additionally prevents water loss from cells. HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU HYDRATE YOUR SKIN WITH NATURAL COSMETICS? Skin hydrating cosmetics should be used as needed. If our skin is only slightly dehydrated, let's limit the daily use of natural moisturizing cosmetics to bio serum or hydrotherapy. However, in the case of very dry and dehydrated skin, it is worth additionally enriching its care with masks. Let's remember that skin hydrating cosmetics, such as bio serum or hydrotherapy, can be used not only on the face, but also on other parts of the body, such as the neck and décolleté - they also need hydration.

serum for discoloration

Przebarwienia to jeden z najczęstszych problemów skórnych, z którym zmagają się osoby w różnym wieku – zarówno po lecie, jak i w wyniku zmian hormonalnych czy stanów zapalnych skóry. Nierównomierny koloryt, ciemne plamki czy ślady po trądziku mogą wpływać nie tylko na wygląd cery, ale też na nasze samopoczucie i pewność siebie. Na szczęście nowoczesna pielęgnacja oferuje skuteczne rozwiązania, które nie tylko rozjaśniają przebarwienia, ale też działają prewencyjnie. Jednym z najbardziej polecanych kosmetyków w tej kategorii jest serum rozjaśniające – produkt o wysokim stężeniu składników aktywnych, który działa intensywnie i celowanie na źródło problemu. W tym artykule przyjrzymy się, jakie składniki naprawdę działają na przebarwienia, dlaczego serum jest skuteczniejsze od kremu, a także które produkty marki Orientana warto włączyć do swojej rutyny, jeśli marzysz o gładkiej, świetlistej i jednolitej cerze. Dlaczego serum, a nie krem? W pielęgnacji skóry z przebarwieniami kluczową rolę odgrywa serum, a nie – jak mogłoby się wydawać – krem. Dlaczego? Serum to kosmetyk o skoncentrowanej formule, który zawiera znacznie wyższe stężenie składników aktywnych niż kremy do twarzy. Dzięki swojej lekkiej, wodno-żelowej lub wodno-emulsyjnej konsystencji łatwo przenika przez warstwę rogową naskórka, działając bezpośrednio tam, gdzie powstaje problem – czyli w głębszych warstwach skóry. W przypadku walki z przebarwieniami liczy się precyzja i intensywność działania. Substancje takie jak witamina C, kwas traneksamowy czy ekstrakty roślinne potrzebują odpowiedniego nośnika i formy, by skutecznie hamować nadprodukcję melaniny, rozjaśniać istniejące plamy pigmentacyjne oraz wspierać odnowę komórkową. Serum zapewnia optymalne warunki dla ich działania. Co więcej, dobrze dobrane serum może pełnić również funkcję terapeutyczną i profilaktyczną – wyrównując koloryt skóry, ale też chroniąc ją przed pojawianiem się nowych zmian pigmentacyjnych. W ofercie marki Orientana znajdziesz właśnie takie nowoczesne sera – lekkie, naturalne, a jednocześnie silnie skoncentrowane. Ich działanie wspiera dalsze etapy pielęgnacji, w tym kremy nawilżające czy ochronne z filtrami UV, które utrwalają efekty kuracji rozjaśniającej. Składniki mające realny wpływ na przebarwienia Nie każde serum na przebarwienia działa skutecznie – wszystko zależy od doboru składników aktywnych i ich stężenia. W walce z przebarwieniami najważniejsze są te substancje, które wpływają na proces melanogenezy, czyli produkcji barwnika skóry – melaniny. Właśnie takie składniki znajdziesz w produktach marki Orientana, które łączą siłę natury z nowoczesną biotechnologią. Witamina C (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) To jeden z najskuteczniejszych składników rozjaśniających skórę. Witamina C hamuje aktywność enzymu tyrozynazy, odpowiedzialnego za syntezę melaniny, dzięki czemu zmniejsza intensywność przebarwień i zapobiega ich nawrotom.Orientana stosuje stabilną i dobrze przyswajalną formę witaminy C – 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, która nie ulega szybkiemu utlenieniu, nie podrażnia skóry i działa długofalowo. Znajdziesz ją m.in. w: Serum Rozjaśniającym Hello Papaja Serum-Ampułce z Ashwagandhą, Rozjaśnienie Kwas traneksamowy To składnik, który szturmem podbił rynek kosmetyczny w kontekście walki z przebarwieniami. Działa na poziomie komórkowym, ograniczając nadmierną pigmentację, a jednocześnie wykazuje działanie przeciwzapalne. Jest polecany szczególnie przy melasmie i przebarwieniach pozapalnych.Orientana wykorzystuje kwas traneksamowy w Serum-Ampułce Ashwagandha + Witamina C + Kwas Traneksamowy, gdzie wspiera działanie witaminy C i naturalnych ekstraktów. Ekstrakt z papai (Carica Papaya Fruit Extract) Zawiera naturalny enzym – papainę, który delikatnie złuszcza martwe komórki naskórka, odsłaniając jaśniejszą i gładszą cerę. Działa synergistycznie z witaminą C, wzmacniając jej właściwości rozjaśniające.Znajdziesz go w rozjaśniającym serum Hello Papaja, idealnym do codziennego użytku. Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera Root Extract) Adaptogen o szerokim spektrum działania, w tym również rozjaśniającym. Wzmacnia barierę ochronną skóry, działa antyoksydacyjnie i wspomaga wyrównywanie kolorytu. Dodatkowo koi skórę i zmniejsza podatność na mikrostany zapalne, które często prowadzą do powstawania przebarwień.Występuje w nowoczesnej formule Serum-Ampułki z Ashwagandhą – razem z witaminą C i kwasem traneksamowym tworzy silne trio depigmentujące. Ashwagandha nie jest składnikiem depigmentującym sensu stricto. Jej działanie rozjaśniające wynika głównie z redukcji stresu oksydacyjnego, działania przeciwzapalnego i regulacji pigmentacji, ale nie jest tak silne ani bezpośrednie jak w przypadku witaminy C czy kwasu traneksamowego. Może być dobrym składnikiem wspierającym kurację na przebarwienia, zwłaszcza dla cery reaktywnej lub narażonej na stany zapalne. Kluczowe produkty Orientany – które serum na przebarwienia wybrać? Wybór odpowiedniego serum na przebarwienia to podstawa skutecznej pielęgnacji. W ofercie marki Orientana znajdziesz kilka innowacyjnych produktów, które łączą naturalne ekstrakty z nowoczesnymi składnikami aktywnymi o potwierdzonym działaniu. Poniżej przedstawiamy trzy wyjątkowe sera rozjaśniające, idealne dla różnych typów skóry i różnych rodzajów przebarwień. Serum rozjaśniające Hello Papaja To lekkie, naturalne serum na przebarwienia opracowane z myślą o codziennym stosowaniu – zarówno rano, jak i wieczorem. Zawiera: 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid – stabilna forma witaminy C o silnym działaniu rozjaśniającym i antyoksydacyjnym, Kwas traneksamowy – skutecznie redukuje przebarwienia i przeciwdziała powstawaniu nowych, Ekstrakt z papai – delikatnie złuszcza naskórek i poprawia koloryt skóry. Formuła jest odpowiednia dla każdego typu skóry, także wrażliwej. Idealne jako pierwsze serum rozjaśniające w pielęgnacji przebarwień po lecie lub po trądziku. Serum-ampułka Ashwagandha Rozjaśnienie Nowoczesna formuła serum na przebarwienia i stres oksydacyjny, łącząca: rozjaśniającą witaminę C, depigmentujący kwas traneksamowy, wzmacniającą i kojącą ashwagandhę – adaptogen, który redukuje stany zapalne i wspiera równowagę skóry. To serum-ampułka ma działanie wielokierunkowe: rozjaśnia istniejące plamy, redukuje stres oksydacyjny i przeciwdziała pojawianiu się nowych zmian pigmentacyjnych. Idealne dla skóry wymagającej regeneracji i rozświetlenia. Każde z powyższych serum można stosować samodzielnie lub łączyć z produktami uzupełniającymi pielęgnację – np. kremami nawilżającymi, maseczkami rozjaśniającymi czy kosmetykami z SPF, które są niezbędne w kuracji rozjaśniającej. Zobacz też: inne nasze kosmetyki na przebarwienia Poznaj:  inne produkty z witaminą C Jak wprowadzić serum na przebarwienia do codziennej rutyny? Aby serum na przebarwienia działało skutecznie, kluczowe są dwa czynniki: regularność i odpowiednie łączenie z innymi elementami pielęgnacji. Nawet najbardziej zaawansowana formuła nie przyniesie efektów, jeśli nie zostanie zastosowana w odpowiedni sposób. Oto jak prawidłowo włączyć serum rozjaśniające do swojej rutyny: Krok 1: Oczyszczanie skóry Rozpocznij od delikatnego, ale dokładnego oczyszczenia skóry – najlepiej przy użyciu naturalnego żelu lub emulsji bez silnych detergentów. Czysta skóra lepiej absorbuje składniki aktywne zawarte w serum. Sprawdź : Delikatną piankę do mycia twarzy Krok 2: Tonizacja i przywrócenie pH Po oczyszczeniu zastosuj tonik lub lotion-esencję, który przywróci skórze odpowiednie pH i przygotuje ją do przyjęcia serum. Idealnym rozwiązaniem będzie np. tonik różany Orientana, który jednocześnie koi i wspiera regenerację. Krok 3: Aplikacja serum Na jeszcze lekko wilgotną skórę nanieś kilka kropli serum na przebarwienia – delikatnie wklep je opuszkami palców, nie pocierając.W przypadku produktów zawierających witaminę C i kwas traneksamowy (np. Hello Papaja lub Serum-Ampułka z Ashwagandhą), najlepiej stosować je: rano – dla ochrony antyoksydacyjnej i wzmocnienia działania filtrów UV, wieczorem – dla wsparcia nocnej regeneracji i działania przeciwzapalnego. Krok 4: Krem nawilżający i/lub ochronny Po wchłonięciu serum zastosuj krem nawilżający, a rano obowiązkowo krem z wysokim filtrem SPF (minimum 30). Ochrona przeciwsłoneczna jest absolutnie niezbędna w każdej kuracji rozjaśniającej – bez niej efekt serum może zostać zniweczony przez promieniowanie UV. Pamiętaj: nawet najlepsze serum na przebarwienia nie zadziała skutecznie bez codziennej ochrony UV. Kiedy zobaczysz efekty? Przy regularnym stosowaniu (2× dziennie przez min. 4–6 tygodni) zauważysz: jaśniejszy, bardziej wyrównany koloryt skóry, rozjaśnienie drobnych plam i przebarwień, poprawę jędrności i promienności skóry. Serum na przebarwienia działa jak intensywna kuracja rozświetlająca, która – jeśli jest stosowana systematycznie – może znacząco poprawić wygląd skóry i przywrócić jej naturalny blask. Wybierając produkty Orientana, masz pewność, że dostarczasz swojej skórze naturalnych, skutecznych i bezpiecznych substancji aktywnych. Korzyści – dlaczego warto wybrać produkty Orientany? Wybierając serum na przebarwienia, warto zwrócić uwagę nie tylko na obietnice producenta, ale przede wszystkim na skład, filozofię marki i skuteczność potwierdzoną badaniami. Kosmetyki Orientana spełniają te kryteria w 100% – oferując produkty, które nie tylko działają, ale też są bezpieczne dla skóry i środowiska. Naturalne i wegańskie formuły Orientana bazuje na składnikach pochodzenia naturalnego, takich jak: witamina C pochodzenia roślinnego, ekstrakt z papai, morwy czy ashwagandhy. Formuły są wolne od sztucznych barwników, parabenów, PEG-ów, silikonów i olejów mineralnych – dzięki temu są delikatne nawet dla wrażliwej skóry. To idealny wybór dla osób szukających serum rozjaśniającego o czystym składzie, które nie podrażni i nie obciąży skóry. Zaawansowane składniki aktywne Marka sięga po nowoczesne, skuteczne substancje: 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid – stabilna forma witaminy C, dobrze tolerowana przez skórę, Kwas traneksamowy – składnik stosowany w dermatologii do redukcji przebarwień melaninowych i zapalnych, Adaptogeny – jak ashwagandha, które wzmacniają skórę i wspierają jej barierę ochronną.

Discover the power of retinol: The secret to youthful and healthy skin!

Stężenie retinolu w kosmetykach to kluczowy czynnik decydujący o skuteczności produktów przeciwstarzeniowych. Retinol, będący pochodną witaminy A, należy do najskuteczniejszych składników aktywnych w pielęgnacji skóry, jednak jego właściwe dozowanie i aplikowanie wymaga wiedzy i rozwagi. Przedstawię Wam wszystkie aspekty związane ze stężeniem retinolu, regulacjami prawnymi oraz praktycznymi wskazówkami dotyczącymi jego stosowania. Czym jest retinol i dlaczego stężenie ma znaczenie? Retinol to jedna z form witaminy A, która po aplikacji na skórę przekształca się w kwas retinowy – aktywną postać odpowiedzialną za odnowę komórkową. Stężenie retinolu w produkcie bezpośrednio wpływa na jego skuteczność, ale również na potencjalne działania niepożądane. Mechanizm działania retinolu Retinol działa poprzez: Przyspieszenie odnowy komórkowej Stymulację produkcji kolagenu Regulację produkcji sebum Rozjaśnienie przebarwień Wygładzenie drobnych zmarszczek Skuteczność tych procesów zależy od stężenia retinolu, dlatego tak ważne jest zrozumienie różnic między poszczególnymi poziomami koncentracji. Optymalne stężenie retinolu w zabiegach dla różnych typów skóry Proszę, zwróćcie uwagę, że piszę tu o zabiegach a nie stosowaniu w domu. Skóra wrażliwa (0,01% - 0,03%) Osoby z wrażliwą skórą powinny rozpoczynać od najniższych stężeń retinolu. Pozwala to na stopniowe przyzwyczajenie skóry do działania składnika aktywnego bez ryzyka podrażnień. Skóra normalna (0,25% - 0,5%) Skóra normalna zazwyczaj dobrze toleruje średnie stężenia retinolu, które zapewniają widoczne efekty przy minimalnym ryzyku działań niepożądanych. Skóra tłusta i problematyczna (0,5% - 1%) Wyższe stężenie retinolu może być korzystne dla skóry tłustej, ponieważ pomaga regulować produkcję sebum i zapobiega powstawaniu niedoskonałości. Rozporządzenie unijne dotyczące retinolu w kosmetykach Unia od dawna przyglądała się retinolowi, dokonywano analiz zgłoszeń ciężkich powikłań po stosowaniu tego składnika. Wniosek był taki, że konsumenci stosują kosmetyki z retinolem bez odpowiedniej wiedzy i traktują je jak "zwykłe" kremy.  Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) uznał, że kosmetyki mogą stanowić istotne źródło dziennego poboru witaminy A, który – przy jednoczesnym spożyciu (z diety lub suplementów) – może prowadzić do przekroczenia bezpiecznego poziomu. Nowe regulacje prawne UE dotyczące retinolu Zgodnie z Rozporządzeniem Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady (WE) nr 1223/2009 z dnia 30 listopada 2009 r. dotyczącym produktów kosmetycznych, retinol i jego pochodne podlegają ścisłym regulacjom: Załącznik III (Lista substancji objętych ograniczeniami) Maksymalne stężenie retinolu w produktach kosmetycznych nie może przekraczać 0,3% dla produktów do stosowania na twarz i szyję Dla produktów do pielęgnacji ciała limit wynosi 0,05% Produkty zawierające retinol muszą zawierać ostrzeżenie: "Zawiera retinol. Unikać kontaktu z oczami. W przypadku podrażnienia skóry, przerwać stosowanie" Wymagania dotyczące etykietowania: Obowiązkowe umieszczenie ostrzeżeń na opakowaniu Informacja o ograniczeniach wiekowych (nie zaleca się stosowania u osób poniżej 12 roku życia) Wskazówki dotyczące unikania ekspozycji na słońce Ograniczenia wprowadzone przez UE dotyczą również: palmitynianu retinylu, octanu retinylu, retinalu ze względu na ich przekształcanie się w skórze do aktywnego kwasu retinowego. Ograniczenia dotyczące stosowania retinolu w kosmetykach do pielęgnacji skóry wynikają z jego potencjalnej toksyczności, działania drażniącego oraz możliwego wpływu na rozwój płodu. Retinol i jego pochodne nie mogą być używane przez kobiety w ciąży i matki karmiące. Co to jest retinol H10? Retinol H10 to handlowa nazwa surowca, którego składnikiem aktywnym jest uwodorniona forma retinolu, czyli Hydrogenated Retinol. W INCI surowca znajdziesz właśnie tę nazwę. Proces uwodornienia (hydrogenation) polega na nasyceniu cząsteczki retinolu wodorem, co stabilizuje strukturę chemiczną i czyni ją bardziej odporną na utlenianie, światło i ciepło. Dzięki temu kosmetyki z Retinolem H10 mają dłuższy okres przydatności, lepszą trwałość i są łatwiejsze do sformułowania. Retinol H10 należy do nowoczesnej generacji retinoidów kosmetycznych. W przeciwieństwie do klasycznego czystego retinolu czy retinylu palmitynowego, działa łagodniej, ale nadal skutecznie. Nie powoduje tak intensywnego złuszczania ani podrażnień jak jego klasyczne odpowiedniki. Oznacza to, że można go bezpieczniej stosować na co dzień, także przy skórze wrażliwej, naczynkowej czy dojrzałej. Dzięki tym właściwościom coraz częściej pojawia się w recepturach kosmetyków pielęgnacyjnych premium. Hydrogenated Retinol łączy w sobie to, co w kosmetyce najtrudniejsze: działanie retinoidu z łagodnością dla skóry. Jest: stabilny – nie ulega szybkiemu utlenianiu, nie traci właściwości pod wpływem światła czy powietrza, lepiej tolerowany – nie wywołuje zaczerwienienia, łuszczenia, podrażnień, charakterystycznych dla klasycznego retinolu, kompatybilny z innymi składnikami – np. ceramidami, niacynamidem, peptydami czy kwasem hialuronowym. To sprawia, że może być stosowany nawet w bardziej wrażliwych obszarach, takich jak skóra wokół oczu, szyja, dekolt. Zalecane stężenie: 0,3–1,5% w gotowym produkcie Hydrogenated Retinol nie jest objęty tymi samymi ograniczeniami prawnymi co czysty retinol, ponieważ: nie konwertuje się bezpośrednio do kwasu retinowego, nie wykazuje działania teratogennego, nie kumuluje się w organizmie. Z tego względu można stosować go w wyższych stężeniach – nawet do 1,5% w gotowym produkcie, bez ryzyka działań niepożądanych (choć nadal zaleca się ostrożność i testy dermatologiczne, szczególnie w produktach całorocznych i dla cery wrażliwej). Przykład skutecznego kosmetyku z retinolem H10 Serum z retinolem H10 marki Orientana stanowi doskonały przykład produktu o przemyślanie dobranym stężeniu retinolu. Orientana wykorzystuje innowacyjną formułę retinol H10 w połączeniu z adaptogenem reishi, która charakteryzuje się: Stabilną formą retinolu zapewniającą długotrwałą skuteczność Optymalnym stężeniem dostosowanym do potrzeb różnych typów skóry Dodatkiem składników aktywnych działających synergicznie z retinolem H10 Retinol H10 w serum Orientana jest przykładem nowoczesnego podejścia do formułowania produktów z retinolem, gdzie stężenie zostało zoptymalizowane dla maksymalnej skuteczności przy zachowaniu bezpieczeństwa użytkowania. Główne działanie: Anti-aging, wygładzenie, koloryt Hydrogenated Retinol ma wszechstronne, udokumentowane działanie przeciwstarzeniowe i odbudowujące. Wspiera procesy odnowy komórkowej, stymuluje produkcję kolagenu i elastyny, a także poprawia teksturę skóry. Regularne stosowanie kosmetyków z tym składnikiem: wygładza drobne linie i zmarszczki, rozjaśnia przebarwienia i wyrównuje koloryt, przywraca skórze jędrność i elastyczność, wspiera regenerację naskórka i poprawia jego barierę ochronną. To wszystko czyni Retinol H10 składnikiem pierwszego wyboru w pielęgnacji anti-aging, ale także wspomagającym terapię skóry z niedoskonałościami czy utratą blasku. Jak prawidłowo stosować produkty z czystym retinolem? Zasady wprowadzania retinolu do pielęgnacji Stopniowe wprowadzanie: Rozpocznij od aplikacji 1-2 razy w tygodniu Wieczorna aplikacja: Retinol stosuj wyłącznie wieczorem Ochrona przeciwsłoneczna: Obligatoryjne stosowanie SPF w ciągu dnia Nawilżanie: Używaj kremów nawilżających aby zminimalizować suchość skóry Nakładaj retinol na suchą skórę Objawy prawidłowej adaptacji Delikatne złuszczanie skóry w pierwszych tygodniach Stopniowa poprawa tekstury skóry Jak stosować retinol by uniknąć błędów Najczęstsze pomyłki: Zbyt wysokie stężenie na początek Rozpoczynanie pielęgnacji od wysokich stężeń retinolu może prowadzić do poważnych podrażnień i zniechęcenia do dalszego stosowania. Łączenie z innymi kwasami Jednoczesne stosowanie retinolu z kwasami AHA/BHA może wywołać nadmierne podrażnienie skóry. Stosowanie w ciągu dnia Retinol zwiększa fotowrażliwość skóry, dlatego powinien być stosowany wyłącznie wieczorem. Pomijanie ochrony przeciwsłonecznej Brak systematycznego stosowania SPF podczas kuracji z retinolem może prowadzić do przebarwień i uszkodzeń skóry. Kiedy spodziewać się efektów? Stężenie retinolu wpływa na szybkość pojawiania się rezultatów: 2-4 tygodnie: Poprawa tekstury skóry, redukcja małych niedoskonałości 6-8 tygodni: Widoczne zmniejszenie drobnych zmarszczek 3-6 miesięcy: Znacząca poprawa elastyczności i kolorytu skóry Przeciwwskazania i środki ostrożności Kiedy unikać retinolu: Ciąża i okres karmienia piersią Bardzo wrażliwa lub uszkodzona skóra Jednoczesne stosowanie innych silnych składników aktywnych Planowane zabiegi dermatologiczne Zalecane środki ostrożności: Test płatkowy przed pierwszym użyciem Konsultacja z dermatologiem w przypadku wątpliwości Przerwanie stosowania przy wystąpieniu silnych podrażnień Systematyczne stosowanie ochrony przeciwsłonecznej Przyszłość retinolu w kosmetyce Rozwój technologii kosmetycznych przynosi coraz bardziej zaawansowane formy retinolu, takie jak retinol H10 stosowany przez naszą markę. Te innowacje pozwalają na: Lepszą stabilność składnika aktywnego Zmniejszenie ryzyka podrażnień przy zachowaniu skuteczności Precyzyjne dozowanie stężenia dla różnych typów skóry Połączenie z innymi składnikami aktywnymi w bezpieczny sposób stworzenie składnika retinol-like z organizmów roślinnych, tzw fito retinolu Stężenie retinolu w kosmetykach to kluczowy parametr decydujący o skuteczności i bezpieczeństwie produktu. Dzięki unijnym regulacjom konsumenci mogą być pewni, że produkty dostępne na europejskim rynku spełniają wysokie standardy jakości i bezpieczeństwa. Serum z retinolem H10 marki Orientana stanowi przykład nowoczesnego podejścia do formułowania produktów z retinolem, gdzie zaawansowana technologia pozwala na optymalizację stężenia dla maksymalnej skuteczności przy zachowaniu komfortu użytkowania. Pamiętaj, że właściwy dobór stężenia retinolu do potrzeb Twojej skóry oraz przestrzeganie zasad bezpiecznego stosowania to klucz do osiągnięcia spektakularnych rezultatów w pielęgnacji przeciwstarzeniowej. Zawsze warto skonsultować wybór produktu z dermatologiem, szczególnie w przypadku skóry wrażliwej lub problemowej. Przeczytaj też: Retinol H10 i ceramidy - razem czy osobno

Tremella fuciformis - plant hyaluronic acid and a natural elixir of youth

Tremella , also known as the "snow mushroom" or Tremella fuciformis, is a unique species of mushroom from Asia, especially valued in traditional Chinese medicine. Its delicate, white, jelly-like fruiting bodies delight not only with their appearance, but above all with their extraordinary skin care properties. Tremella has gained popularity in cosmetics and natural medicine as a plant alternative to hyaluronic acid - it effectively moisturizes the skin, improves its elasticity and delays the signs of aging. It is not without reason that Tremella has been the beauty secret of China's most distinguished women for centuries. Legend has it that Empress Yang Guifei - considered one of the most beautiful women in history - regularly reached for Tremella to maintain her youth and radiance. Today, this unique mushroom is conquering the world of cosmetics, delighting with its effectiveness and natural origin. Botanical profile of Tremella Latin name: Tremella fuciformis Tremella fuciformis, also known as the snow mushroom, silver ear mushroom, or silver ear mushroom, is a species of mushroom in the family Tremellaceae. Its name is derived from the Latin word tremere, meaning to tremble, referring to its characteristic, gelatinous consistency. Occurrence and cultivation The natural habitat of Tremella is tropical and subtropical regions of Asia – primarily southern and eastern China, Taiwan and Japan. In China, Tremella fuciformis has been cultivated for hundreds of years, and currently this country accounts for about 95% of the world's production of this mushroom. Up to 120 thousand tons of Tremella are cultivated annually in China alone, making it one of the most commonly cultivated edible mushrooms in Asia. This mushroom grows on dead deciduous wood, especially on the branches of trees of the Cinnamomum or Schima genus. Appearance and morphological features Tremella fuciformis is distinguished by its exceptionally decorative, "coral" shape - its fruiting bodies resemble delicate, irregular, wavy petals. Their gelatinous structure makes them soft and elastic to the touch. The color of the mushroom is white, milky white or slightly transparent, and in a moist environment it acquires a subtle shine. The diameter of a single Tremella fruit body can reach 10–15 cm , and the weight of a fresh mushroom usually ranges from 30 to 80 grams . Due to the high water content (up to 90–95% of the weight of a fresh mushroom), Tremella loses a lot of volume after drying, but retains most of its valuable ingredients. Botanical curiosities Tremella is a parasitic fungus – it needs the presence of other fungi to grow, such as Hypoxylon archeri , on which it colonizes dead wood. This dependency means that its cultivation requires special conditions and knowledge. Tremella is also distinguished by its unique composition of polysaccharides, which are responsible for its incredible moisturizing properties. Studies show that the content of these substances in dried Tremella fruit bodies can reach as much as 60-70% of the dry weight. Tremella's use in various industries Due to its chemical composition, Tremella fuciformis is used not only as a valuable ingredient in cosmetics, but also in functional foods, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals and innovative biomedical materials. Its potential is still being discovered by scientists around the world! Cosmetology Tremella fuciformis is called "plant hyaluronic acid" and enjoys great popularity in modern cosmetology. Tremella extracts: are used in serums, creams, masks and facial gels, they have a strong moisturizing, smoothing and skin elasticity improving effect, support the regeneration of the epidermis and protect against premature aging, soothe irritations and have an antioxidant effect. Studies show that Tremella polysaccharides can moisturize the skin up to 20% more effectively than traditional hyaluronic acid . Food industry In Asia, Tremella fuciformis is a prized delicacy. It is added to soups, desserts, drinks and sweets: increases the nutritional value of foods, improves consistency (natural thickener), It is used as a low-calorie, high-fiber dietary ingredient. Natural medicine and pharmacy Tremella extracts are used as immune-supporting, anti-inflammatory and antiviral agents. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this mushroom is recommended for problems with dry skin, dry cough, and insomnia. Modern research confirms that Tremella polysaccharides can support immune processes and have a neuroprotective effect. Biotechnology industry Tremella polysaccharides are used to produce modern biomaterials: can be used to produce biodegradable films and coatings, are tested as a component of biomedical hydrogels with high biocompatibility. Active ingredients and their properties Tremella's active ingredients, especially polysaccharides and beta-glucans, make it one of the most versatile natural elixirs of youth. Thanks to its synergy with vitamins and minerals, Tremella fuciformis not only moisturizes, but also supports the health, regeneration and youthful appearance of the skin - often more effectively than the popular hyaluronic acid. Tremella Polysaccharides – the secret of extraordinary properties The most important active ingredient of Tremella fuciformis are polysaccharides , and among them particularly valuable beta-glucans . In dry Tremella fruit bodies, polysaccharides constitute up to 60–70% of the mass, of which the dominant part are mucopolysaccharides with high molecular weight (up to 1.2 million Da). Properties of Tremella polysaccharides: Strong hydration : Studies have shown that Tremella polysaccharides have an exceptional ability to bind water – they can retain up to 500 times more water than their own weight (Tang et al., 2016). This is a better result than hyaluronic acid, which retains about 1000 times its own weight , but has a slightly different chemical structure and a different effect in the skin. However, Tremella polysaccharides show a longer time of maintaining moisture, and the effect of "moisturized skin" is more noticeable even up to 24 hours after application (Chen et al., 2018). Stimulation of collagen synthesis : In vitro studies have shown that Tremella extracts stimulate fibroblasts to produce type I collagen, helping to improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines. After 28 days of using a cream with Tremella polysaccharides, an increase in collagen synthesis of about 23% was noted (Li et al., 2017). Antioxidant effect : Tremella polysaccharides effectively neutralize free oxygen radicals. The antioxidant activity of Tremella extracts assessed by the DPPH method reaches up to 83% (at a concentration of 2 mg/ml), which places it among the leading natural protective substances (Zhao et al., 2013). Vitamins and minerals to support skin health Tremella fuciformis contains valuable vitamins and minerals that work synergistically with polysaccharides to support skin condition: Vitamin D (ergocalciferol): helps maintain normal skin structure and supports repair processes. B vitamins : participate in the regeneration of epidermal cells and influence the skin's moisture level. Minerals : Calcium – supports regenerative processes and strengthens the skin's protective barrier, Magnesium – has a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect, Zinc – regulates the function of sebaceous glands, Potassium, iron, phosphorus – support microcirculation and skin nourishment. Comparison to hyaluronic acid Tremella polysaccharides and hyaluronic acid: Tremella polysaccharides bind water similarly effectively, or even better, than hyaluronic acid – their large molecules create a delicate, “breathable” film on the skin surface that retains moisture for a longer time. In clinical tests (Chen et al., 2018), preparations with Tremella showed 28% higher skin hydration after 8 hours compared to preparations with hyaluronic acid. Tremella is better tolerated by people with sensitive skin, and its polysaccharides have additional antioxidant and irritation-soothing effects. The use of Tremella fuciformis in cosmetology Tremella fuciformis has gained recognition as one of the most valuable active ingredients used in modern cosmetology. Its extract is increasingly appearing in the compositions of serums, creams, masks and face gels. Due to its high polysaccharide content, Tremella acts as a “plant-based hyaluronic acid,” providing long-lasting, deep skin hydration. Studies have shown that Tremella polysaccharides can bind water at levels up to 500 times greater than their own weight (Tang et al., 2016), making it one of the most effective natural humectants available in cosmetics. The key cosmetic properties of Tremella include not only intensive hydration, but also improvement of skin elasticity and firmness. Regular use of preparations with Tremella supports the natural synthesis of collagen in the skin. According to research by Li et al. (2017), after four weeks of using a cream with Tremella fuciformis extract, an increase in skin elasticity of up to 23% was noted. In addition, the presence of antioxidants and beta-glucans makes Tremella have an anti-aging effect, reducing the appearance of fine lines and protecting skin cells from the harmful effects of free radicals. A huge advantage of Tremella extract is also its safety of use in people with sensitive and allergy-prone skin . Clinical studies (Chen et al., 2018) have shown that Tremella polysaccharides do not cause irritation, and in fact soothe redness and inflammation of the skin. Thanks to this, cosmetics with this ingredient are also recommended for people with atopic dermatitis, rosacea or eczema. There are few products based on Tremella fuciformis extract available on the market, and Orientana is one of the first brands to use the effects of this fungus in its cosmetics. tremella in orientana cosmetics Moisturizing Serum with Tremella, Exosomes and Lactic Acid 30 ml This modern moisturizing serum created with the needs of combination and normal skin in mind, provides intensive and long-lasting hydration from the first application.

Internal action - Tremella supplementation Tremella fuciformis is becoming increasingly popular not only as a cosmetic ingredient, but also as a dietary supplement. This mushroom has been used for centuries in Chinese medicine as a natural agent supporting health and vitality. Modern science confirms that consuming Tremella extract can have a wide, positive effect on the body. One of the most important aspects of Tremella supplementation is its beneficial effect on the immune system . Studies show that the polysaccharides contained in the mushroom, including beta-glucans, stimulate the activity of macrophages and T lymphocytes, strengthening the body's natural protective barrier (Ma et al., 2018). Regular consumption of Tremella extract can help increase resistance to infections and accelerate regenerative processes after illness. Tremella supplementation also has a unique effect on the condition of the skin "from the inside" . Polysaccharides and antioxidants present in the mushroom support skin hydration at the cellular level, improving its elasticity and color. In a clinical study conducted in Japan (2016), after 8 weeks of taking a supplement with Tremella fuciformis, as many as 82% of participants noticed a clear improvement in hydration and smoothing of the complexion . Additionally, Tremella may have a positive effect on energy levels and overall well-being . Due to its B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, Tremella supplements support metabolic processes, help combat fatigue, and improve the ability to concentrate. Observational studies have also noted a reduction in the symptoms of oxidative stress in people supplementing with Tremella extract (Yao et al., 2020). Tremella supplementation forms are very diverse, so you can easily adjust them to your own preferences and lifestyle. The following are available on the market: Capsules – convenient for everyday use, precisely dosed, Powders – which can be added to cocktails, yoghurts, smoothies or oatmeals, Functional drinks – ready-made mixtures and drinks based on Tremella extract, often combined with other adaptogens. Tremella supplementation is not only a natural support for the skin, but also strengthens immunity and improves energy and general well-being. Regularly taking products based on Tremella allows you to benefit from its rich profile of active ingredients - both externally and internally. Scientific research and confirmation of effectiveness Tremella fuciformis has been of interest to scientists studying natural ingredients with cosmetic and health-promoting effects for years. In the last decade, a number of laboratory and clinical studies have been conducted that confirm its moisturizing properties and strong antioxidant effects. One of the key studies was an experiment conducted by Prof. Chen's team at Taipei Medical University in 2018. This study compared the moisturizing effects of Tremella fuciformis extract and hyaluronic acid on 40 volunteers with dry skin. The results showed that 8 hours after application, skin hydration levels were 28% higher in the Tremella group than in the hyaluronic acid group (Chen et al., 2018, Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology ). The study authors also emphasized the soothing effect of the extract on skin redness and irritation. Tremella's antioxidant efficacy was confirmed by Dr. Zhao's team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. A study published in 2013 showed that Tremella polyphenols and polysaccharides neutralize up to 83% of free radicals in the standard DPPH test (Zhao et al., 2013, Food Chemistry ). This puts this mushroom on a par with the most valued anti-aging raw materials in cosmetology. A 2016 study at Hokkaido University in Japan evaluated the effects of oral supplementation with Tremella for 8 weeks. As many as 82% of participants declared a significant improvement in skin hydration and overall condition compared to placebo. The authors also noted improved elasticity and a slight smoothing of wrinkles ( Hokkaido Journal of Medical Science , 2016). Tremella compares favorably with other adaptogens and medicinal mushrooms . Unlike popular mushrooms such as reishi ( Ganoderma lucidum ) or shiitake ( Lentinula edodes ), Tremella has the highest capacity to bind water and moisturize the skin. Its polysaccharide profile, especially the richness of beta-glucans, makes it a leader among the "mushrooms of youth" with anti-aging effects. Moreover, compared to other plant adaptogens (e.g. ashwagandha, ginseng), Tremella is better tolerated by people with sensitive skin, does not cause allergic reactions and has a stronger humectant effect. Modern scientific research confirms the traditional uses of Tremella fuciformis as an effective moisturizing and antioxidant ingredient – ​​both in cosmetics and supplementation. As a result, Tremella is gaining more and more supporters around the world, and its effectiveness is no longer just a legend of Chinese medicine, but also a documented scientific fact. Who is Tremella ideal for? People with dry, dehydrated skin. People looking for natural anti-aging ingredients. Vegetarians and vegans – an alternative to animal collagen. 8. Summary Tremella as a versatile ingredient – ​​cosmetic and food. A natural way to beautiful, moisturized and youthful skin. Encouragement to try – externally or as a supplement. If you want, I can also help you write an entire post based on this plan, or a specific part of it. Want to take the topic further?

INGREDIENT Trehalose: Revolution for Your Skin

Trehalose Ingredient - Get to Know It! In today's world of skincare, where new and more innovative ingredients are emerging, trehalose stands out as a true revolutionary. If you haven't heard of this amazing disaccharide, it's time to change that. This ingredient is gaining increasing popularity among skincare enthusiasts and dermatologists, and Polish women have also fallen in love with it. In this blog post, we will take a look at what trehalose is, what benefits it has for the skin, and how you can incorporate it into your daily skincare routine. What is Trehalose? Trehalose is a natural sugar found in many plants, fungi, and some invertebrates. It is known for its ability to protect cells from dehydration and oxidative stress. These properties make trehalose a valuable ingredient in skin care cosmetics. INGREDIENT TREHALOSE - Skin Benefits 1. Hydration and Protection Against Dehydration The ingredient acts as a powerful humectant, meaning it attracts and retains moisture in the skin. This keeps the skin well-hydrated, soft and supple. Unlike other humectants, this ingredient not only attracts water from the environment, but also protects skin cells from dehydration in extreme conditions. 2. Antioxidant Properties This ingredient has strong antioxidant properties that help neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals. Free radicals contribute to premature skin aging, causing wrinkles and loss of elasticity. It helps protect the skin from this damage, contributing to a healthier and younger appearance. 3. Skin Regeneration and Repair Thanks to its ability to stabilize proteins and lipids, trehalose supports skin regeneration processes. It helps rebuild the skin's natural protective barrier, which is especially important for people with sensitive skin, prone to irritation and damage. 4.

WHY THE HYDROLIPID BARRIER NEEDS ATTENTION

Do you know how important the skin's hydrolipid barrier is? Its role is not only protection, but it plays an important role in maintaining the health and integrity of the skin, which directly affects its appearance. Hydrolipid barrier – what is it? The hydrolipid barrier is a natural protective layer of the skin, which consists of water, lipids (fats) and dead skin cells. Its main task is to protect the skin from moisture loss and harmful external factors, such as bacteria, pollution and UV radiation. Composition of the hydrolipid barrier Lipids (fats): These are natural oils, ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol that fill the intercellular spaces in the stratum corneum of the epidermis. Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF): Water-binding substances such as hyaluronic acid, amino acids, lactates or urea. Dead epidermal cells (corneocytes): They create a specific protective structure, resembling "bricks" that are held together by lipids ("mortar"). Functions of the hydrolipid barrier The skin's hydrolipid barrier acts as the first line of defense against harmful external factors such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, pollutants, and toxins, protecting the skin from infections and irritations. It is also a key element in maintaining the right level of skin hydration, protecting against excessive water loss (transepidermal water loss - TEWL) through the epidermis. Proper hydration is essential for the elasticity, softness, and overall health of the skin. The hydrolipid barrier also helps maintain skin homeostasis by regulating the metabolic processes occurring in skin cells, such as cell renewal and healing processes, which contributes to the healthy and youthful appearance of the skin. Moisture Loss Protection: Prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by keeping skin hydrated. Protection against external factors: Provides a barrier against allergens, pollutants, microorganisms and UV radiation. Microbiome Regulation: Supports the balance of good bacteria on the skin's surface. Disturbances of the hydrolipid barrier If the hydrolipid barrier is damaged, the skin may: Become dry, rough and more susceptible to irritation. Experience inflammatory conditions such as eczema, atopic dermatitis or acne. Be more susceptible to allergens and infections. How to care for the hydrolipid barrier? Proper care and protection of the hydrolipid barrier are important to prevent water loss and protect the skin from negative environmental factors. Dry skin, a feeling of tightness, overproduction of sebum are just a few symptoms of a damaged barrier. Avoid aggressive detergents: Use gentle detergents without SLS and alcohol. Use moisturizing products: Choose cosmetics with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, vegetable oils and niacinamide. Protect your skin from UV: Use sunscreen regularly. Avoid over-exfoliation: Use chemical and mechanical exfoliants in moderation. Maintain proper air humidity: Use humidifiers during the heating season. Keratinocytes - what is it? Keratinocytes are responsible for the production of keratin, an important element of our skin, hair and nails. Disturbances in the keratinization process can lead to damage of the epidermis and weakening of the hydrolipid barrier. Keratinocytes are the main cells of the epidermis, constituting about 90% of all cells in this layer of the skin. They are responsible for the production of keratin , a structural protein that strengthens the skin and makes it more resistant to mechanical and chemical damage. Disorders of keratinocyte function and the hydrolipid barrier Damaged keratinocyte function can lead to: Susceptibility to irritations, allergies or skin inflammations (e.g. eczema, atopic dermatitis). Weakening of the hydrolipid barrier. Increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Orientana cosmetics and the hydrolipid barrier Orientana brand products, such as essences, creams and oils, contain ingredients that support the reconstruction of the hydrolipid barrier, e.g.: Ceramides : Strengthen the intercellular “mortar”, you will find them in REISHI CERAFLUID SERUM Natural oils (e.g. almond, macadamia, sunflower): Rebuild the protective lipid layer. You will find them in Ayurvedic creams such as Sandalwood Cream, Ashwagandha Cream and facial oils . Hyaluronic acid: Binds water in the epidermis, moisturizing the skin. Apply Serum ampoule MOISTURIZING . A properly functioning hydrolipid barrier is the basis for healthy and beautiful skin! 😊 Ceramides are the key to HYDROLIPID BARRIER care Ceramides are key lipids that act as a cement for skin cells, keratinocytes. Due to their structure, they are effective in rebuilding the skin's natural barrier, which is crucial for keeping skin healthy and moisturized. Ceramides in daily care The use of ceramides can provide support for dry, sensitized skin and during retinoid or acid treatment. Choosing the right ceramides, such as CERAFLUID® contained in ADVANCED SKIN REPAIR SERUM , can significantly contribute to the reconstruction of the skin barrier. Hydrolipid barrier protected by liquid ceramides This unique CERAFLUID® ingredient has the ability to mimic the function of skin cell membrane lipids, which translates into deeper penetration and more effective action. It is the ideal solution for those who want to improve skin elasticity, firmness and hydration and quickly and effectively rebuild the skin barrier. CARESOFT - a modern complex with a new approach to the hydrolipid barrier CARESOFT™ is an innovative active ingredient derived from the root of the Curculigo orchioides plant, known for its soothing and skin regenerating properties. Its main action is to improve the condition of sensitive skin by reducing reactivity, restoring the integrity of the epidermis and strengthening the hydrolipid barrier. Creams strengthening the hydrolipid barrier with this ingredient: Kali Musli day cream , Kali Musli night cream, Kali Musli enzymatic peeling . CARESOFT™ action: Skin pH regulation: CARESOFT™ affects the NHE1 protein in keratinocytes, which leads to the reconstruction of the pH gradient in the epidermis and acidification of the stratum corneum. Thanks to this, it improves the cohesion of epidermal cells and increases the effectiveness of the epidermal barrier. Reduced skin reactivity: In a 28-day study on people with sensitive skin, the use of CARESOFT™ reduced the frequency of irritation by 65%. In people who still felt sensitive to irritants, the intensity of the irritation reaction was significantly lower. Strengthening the hydrolipid barrier: CARESOFT™ accelerates the regeneration of the skin barrier by 20% and increases its protection by 13%, resulting in better integrity of the stratum corneum and increased skin resistance to external factors. CARESOFT™ - a component of the series for sensitive skin CARESOFT™ is recommended for products designed for sensitive and atopic skin, such as emulsions, gels, decorative cosmetics, as well as products for men (e.g. aftershave), children and intimate hygiene cosmetics. Thanks to its natural origin and effectiveness in improving the condition of the skin, CARESOFT™ is a valuable ingredient in modern cosmetic formulas, supporting the health and comfort of the skin. Soothes irritations: Thanks to its soothing properties, CARESOFT™ reduces skin discomfort by reducing burning, itching and redness. Skin Barrier Reconstruction: Improves epidermal cell cohesion by restoring the integrity of the hydrolipid barrier, which protects the skin from moisture loss and harmful external factors. Reduced reactivity: Regular use of CARESOFT™ products reduces skin sensitivity to irritants, which is particularly beneficial for people with atopic or irritation-prone skin. Restoring and supporting the hydrolipid barrier with DIY cosmetics is possible thanks to the use of natural ingredients that moisturize, regenerate and protect the skin. Here's how to create products that support the hydrolipid barrier: The hydrolipid barrier can be supported with home cosmetics. The basic principles of home care are as follows: Use moisturizing ingredients: They help bind water in the skin (e.g. glycerin, aloe, hyaluronic acid). Strengthen skin lipids: Choose natural oils rich in fatty acids, e.g. jojoba oil, avocado oil, shea butter. Avoid irritating substances: Denatured alcohol, SLS and other harsh detergents can weaken the skin barrier. Get your pH right: Products should have a pH of 4.5–5.5 to support the skin’s natural acid mantle. How the hydrolipid barrier will be strengthened with DIY cosmetics Below are recipes for homemade cosmetics that the hydrolipid barrier will love: 1. Moisturizing face toner Ingredients: 50 ml of rose hydrolate (moisturizes, soothes). 5 ml of vegetable glycerin (binds water in the skin). 5 drops of D-panthenol (regenerates and soothes irritations). Preparation method: Mix all ingredients in a spray bottle. Use after cleansing your face, before cream. 2. Protective face cream Ingredients: 30 g shea butter (protects the skin, strengthens the barrier). 10 g avocado oil (rich in vitamins and fatty acids). 5 ml of vitamin E (natural antioxidant). Optional: 5 drops of your favorite essential oil (e.g. lavender). Preparation method: Melt the shea butter in a water bath. Add avocado oil and vitamin E, mix thoroughly. Pour into a jar and wait until it hardens. Use as a night or day cream, especially in the winter season. 3. Moisturizing serum based on aloe Ingredients: 20 ml aloe gel (moisturizes and soothes). 5 ml jojoba oil (mimics sebum, supports the lipid barrier). 3 drops of hyaluronic acid 1% (binds water in the epidermis). Preparation method: Combine all ingredients in a bottle with a pipette. Shake before each use and apply before cream. 4. Regenerating overnight mask Ingredients: 2 tablespoons of natural yogurt (moisturizes and regenerates). 1 teaspoon of honey (soothes and supports regeneration). 1 teaspoon sweet almond oil (strengthens skin lipids). Preparation method: Mix all ingredients and apply on face for 15–20 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water and apply cream. Additional home care tips Natural DIY cosmetics are a great way to strengthen the hydrolipid barrier, while also providing the skin with safe, natural care ingredients. 😊 Remember not to overdo it with exfoliators. The hydrolipid barrier can be easily damaged by those with coarse particles. In DIY cosmetics, use gentle exfoliators, e.g. based on finely ground oatmeal. In fact, you can make a natural lotion with a UV filter, using zinc oxide as a protective ingredient. However, the hydrolipid barrier will be more secure if you use good creams with SPF. Take care of the humidity in the room so that the skin does not lose water.
