How we selected ACTIVE ingredients

Active ingredients in the Hello Daktyl series When creating the Hello Daktyl series for every age group (ANY AGE) and for virtually every skin type (ALL TYPE), we took into account the multitasking and universality of the products and the targeted action of active substances . We considered how to combine active ingredients so that they mutually enhance each other's effects. SERUM The concept of creating A active smoothing serum was a light emulsion formula that will provide the right skin moisturising effect. The moisturising effect , which can be felt after the first application, is provided by a complex containing: propanediol (vegetable glycol), trehalose (strongly moisturising disaccharide), Ylang ylang flower hydrolate (moisturise and soothe), low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (has the ability to penetrate deeper layers of the epidermis), sodium polyglutamate (strongly moisturising biopolymer) and Hydromanil (polysaccharide matrix that gradually releases moisture). Thanks to such selected ingredients , the skin moisturising effect lasts for a long time, and the skin becomes soft and elastic to the touch . In order to prevent premature skin aging, in addition to daily protection against UV radiation, it is recommended to use anti-aging products. The combination of date fruit extract , baicalin , Korean ginseng ferment , oat oil extract provides anti-wrinkle and antioxidant effects. The oil fraction is made up of: light ester obtained from milk thistle (which provides a light consistency of the serum), kokum butter and chia oil , which perfectly regenerate the skin. moisturizing cream This unique moisturizing cream was created for people who value a light, yet enveloping consistency. The cream has a cream-gel structure, thanks to which it is perfectly absorbed. The addition of natural mica and silica microspheres gives the complexion a healthy and fresh look . Lotus flower extracts prevent the formation of skin imperfections and support the regulation of sebum secretion. Bhringraj extract, Roman chamomile hydrolate, allantoin and D-Panthenol have a soothing and regenerating effect on the skin. The appropriate level of hydration is provided by date fruit extract, sorbitol, sodium salt of low molecular weight polyglutamic acid and sodium hyaluronate . Light oils - from tomato seeds and vegetable squalane support skin regeneration and make it more elastic. nourishing cream The comfortable nourishing cream is a product adapted to work on the skin of the face, neck and décolleté , as well as for the care of demanding skin around the eyes . It has the form of a so-called "reverse emulsion" - i.e. the water phase is dispersed in the oil phase. This gives an exceptionally rich consistency , without a feeling of heaviness and greasiness. The main task of the Cream is to regenerate the skin, nourish and soothe any skin irritations . Date fruit extract together with Asian pennywort extract and D-Panthenol have an anti-aging , soothing and moisturizing effect. The rich oil fraction, containing sesame oil , mango butter and rice bran oil have an antioxidant , nourishing , regenerating and soothing effect on the skin. Thanks to the addition of cassava flour and fine, cross-linked rice starch, the cream does not leave a greasy feeling, giving a satin finish and a long-lasting feeling of skin hydration . mask Vitamin night cream-mask c was created for people who need immediate effects . The light, yet enveloping consistency of the Mask provides an immediate effect of moisturizing, soothing and calming the skin . Extracts from date fruit and goji berries are extremely rich in vitamins , thanks to which they support antioxidant and anti-aging effects . The addition of D-Panthenol and sodium hyaluronate provides a soothing and moisturizing effect. Niacinamide supported by Balanites Roxburghii tree seed oil helps brighten discolorations and prevent their formation. Vitamin F (which is not really a vitamin, but is in fact a mixture of EFAs - essential, unsaturated fatty acids), mango butter, cottonseed oil, grape seed oil and a high concentration of vitamin E strongly regenerate the skin, have a nourishing, soothing and elasticizing effect on the skin.

Can counterfeit cosmetics be dangerous to your health?

Each of us has our favorite cosmetics. Some are cheaper and others are more expensive. Often when we come across our favorite cosmetic for half the price, we buy it without a second thought. Will it occur to us to check if it is really an original product? It is better to remember this, because fake cosmetics can be very dangerous to our health. Where are you most likely to buy fake cosmetics? You go to the market to do some shopping and it turns out that one of the stands is selling cosmetics from the world's biggest brands at super low prices. You are looking for the best price offer for your favorite perfume on the Internet and suddenly one of the auction portal's exhibitors offers a bottle 70% cheaper than the regular price in a well-known drugstore. A friend of mine brought back from abroad some good brand eye shadows bought in a local shop there, but the colour doesn't suit her and she wants to give them to you as a gift because she paid exceptionally little for them. Do you know such situations? Have you ever been fooled and tempted by a low price, bought a cosmetic from an uncertain source and then it turned out that its quality leaves much to be desired, the inscriptions on the packaging quickly wore off and the scent and properties were far from the original? Many people have accidentally or inadvertently bought a fake cosmetic, clothes or shoes. And some buy them on purpose. It's good if such a situation ends only in disappointment and anger, because it can have much more serious consequences. The development of the counterfeit cosmetics market continues In recent years, there has been a significant increase in all kinds of fake skin care products, make-up and perfumes. Thanks to the Internet, counterfeiters can freely and easily reach customers all over the world. The development of electronic banking and alternative forms of payment allows transactions to be carried out practically anonymously. In turn, modern and fast transport also allows for cheap, immediate and also anonymous delivery to any place on the globe. Detecting the original manufacturer of counterfeit cosmetics, clothing or perfumes is extremely difficult. The entire criminal network is so branched out on all continents that it is impossible to determine who is making the most profit from this procedure. Crimes related to counterfeiting products are not as socially harmful as human or drug trafficking. That is why international police do not put them at the top of their priorities. Additionally, if there is a demand for counterfeit cosmetics and other goods, then naturally there are people who do not hesitate to take advantage of such demand and organize further counterfeit factories. The dangers of counterfeit cosmetics The expansion of counterfeit cosmetics affects Europe, the US, Russia, Asia, and South American and African countries. This poses a direct threat to public health and to consumers. In addition, this procedure means that honest cosmetic companies whose products are counterfeited have much lower profits. The global cosmetics industry is currently valued at around 700 billion US dollars per year. After the pandemic, consumers are once again interested in makeup brands, and interest in natural cosmetics has also increased. The development of e-commerce has virtually no barriers in its path, which further contributes to the increase in the share of counterfeit cosmetics in the global market. The weight and scale of the problem are enormous and without the agreement of all interested parties, the counterfeiting of cosmetics will not end overnight. Both cosmetic brands and suppliers of raw materials, national associations of cosmetics manufacturers and governments of all countries should come to an agreement. The educational role of the government and consumer organizations operating in each country is also important. Can fake cosmetics be dangerous? Studies and tests conducted on detected counterfeits of skin care cosmetics, perfumes and make-up products have shown that they may contain even such harmful ingredients as arsenic, cadmium, beryllium, which are suspected of having carcinogenic effects. Additionally, aluminum levels exceeding safe standards and bacterial contamination are often observed. Counterfeit cosmetics can cause problems such as: acne psoriasis allergies skin rashes systemic infections Fake perfumes often contain the ingredient DEHP, which has been classified as a carcinogen. Other substances found in them can cause allergies, asthma, skin rashes, and irritation of the mucous membranes of the nose and eyes. How to recognize fake cosmetics? If we want to buy high-quality and original cosmetics, it is always worth making purchases directly from the manufacturer, in authorized stores or large and reputable online drugstores. Luxury brands will never be sold for a fraction of the price on online auctions or bazaars. You can also find cosmetics whose price is not high enough to make it worth counterfeiting. Also, recipes that are not easy to counterfeit are a certain barrier for criminals. When should we have doubts whether a cosmetic is original? If its packaging differs slightly from the original – it is not a printing error, but a deliberate action of counterfeiters. When an almost identical graphic design features a name that is close to the original. When the price of the product is much lower than the original one and we are not buying from an authorized company store. If the scent of a cosmetic or perfume only resembles the original, or is completely different. In the case of a change in the fragrance composition in skin care cosmetics, manufacturers inform customers about this. In the case of perfumes or toilet water, changing the scent and selling it under the same name is not possible, so we are clearly dealing with a counterfeit cosmetic. If we buy cosmetics at a bazaar, market, kiosk or online from a drugstore that is not well-known and has products in its offer at unbelievably low prices. And it is really better to give up buying cosmetics at a bazaar. Any cases of purchasing counterfeit cosmetics should be reported directly to the brand that was counterfeited or to the relevant state authorities such as the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate or the police.

How to Explore Asia? Part 3.

You have certainly heard of the Indian festival of colors Holi . It is the quintessence of colorful Asia! It is celebrated in February or March to welcome spring and symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. After an evening of fun by the bonfire, the next day there is a joint game of throwing colored powders and dousing each other with paints. Traditionally, dyes were created from plants that bloom in spring, but now they are produced in factories. Festivals of colors associated with Holi are also held in many cities around the world. Go to such an event in your area and you will feel this specific climate of Asia with your sense of sight and at the same time you will definitely have a great time J If you feel that your eyesight needs a moment of rest, I can recommend wonderful places where you will definitely regenerate your eyes and mind. In addition to the fabulous jungle in Borneo, the eye-pleasing coral reefs in Indonesia and the spacious tea fields in Taiwan, I want to encourage you to visit two places in particular. If you have the opportunity, go to the pink beach on Komodo . The sand has gained its charming color thanks to the content of pieces of coral. The combination of turquoise water and delicate pink sand, the greenery growing on the island and the blue sky is a paradise for the sense of sight. Unfortunately, the beach is visited by many tourists who do not always know how to take care of its cleanliness and appreciate its uniqueness. I had the opportunity to visit it a few years ago, when it was not yet so popular. If any of you visit the Indonesian pink beach soon - please send me photos J Not far away – in Bali, I was very impressed by the rice terraces . Do you know what makes them unique? Rice is the basic source of daily food, but it is also considered sacred – that is why its cultivation is associated with religious holidays and is a kind of ceremony. Due to the lack of sufficient plains, rice is grown in Bali on specially designated “terraces” – on the slopes of hills. It looks really amazing and you can also go for a walk along the paths between the individual plots. If you are lucky, you will then see farmers picking weeds from the fields or tending to their crops. For us, rice terraces are a tourist attraction and for the locals – a source of food and a place of daily work, which we can observe with respect. How colorful Asia is can be seen in our cosmetics line called Power of Orient . We have collected natural cosmetics based on Ayurvedic ingredients and formulas that not only work effectively and smell beautiful, but also please the eyes with wonderfully colorful packaging inspired by the colors of Asia.

interesting facts from asia part 2

Interesting facts from Asia - discover them with me. In Thailand , I was particularly enchanted by two famous buildings - the Grand Palace dripping with gold and the intricately decorated Wat Pho temple with its famous golden statue of the reclining Buddha. The reclining Buddha is (watch out!) 15 meters high and 46 meters long! It is difficult to encompass this figure with your eyes and the impressions are incredible. In Malaysia, on the other hand, I had the opportunity to visit the Batu Caves , the largest of which is 100 meters high! I climbed 272 steps to admire it. In the caves, there are, among other things, incredible and very realistic-looking figures of people with the heads of monkeys or crocodiles. Did you know that these caves were discovered a little over 100 years ago? Maybe during my travels around Asia I will also come across unexplored buildings and places? You certainly know that Asian deities often look menacing. I was very impressed by the figure of Lord Murugan , whose huge, golden figure I met for the first time also in Malaysia near the Batu Caves. You must know that as the son of the very warlike goddess Korravai, he was also identified with the god of war - Skanda. Murugan is armed with a spear and looks as if he is guarding the entrance to mysterious caves. He is almost 43 meters high and because he is the tallest statue of a Hindu deity in Malaysia (and the third largest in the world!) he definitely commands respect among tourists. During religious ceremonies, my special attention was drawn to the flower garlands offered to deities and also decorating altars. Plants are inextricably linked to religious worship and many of them are considered magical. Plants are also widely used in Ayurveda , or traditional medicine. If you are here, you know for sure that I built my Orientana natural cosmetics brand on these plants. In the recipes, I use Ayurvedic extracts, oils, extracts, fruits and herbs, which have a great effect on the skin and hair. Returning to flower garlands, I like the ones that use lotuses, marigolds, frangipani flowers, jasmine, ylang-ylang or oleander the most. Five types of sacred leaves, flowers, twigs and fruits are offered in temples during special rituals. Every time I have the opportunity to observe such ceremonies, my eyes absorb hundreds of shades, colors and shapes. I will tell you another interesting fact from Bali ! In many places I have come across small, colorful baskets made of palm leaves filled with flowers, rice, candies and incense. At first I did not know what their function was. It turned out that these beautiful gifts are prepared as an offering to the spirits and are to ensure their favor. In addition, women often place flowers and incense on trays for their deceased ancestors. Practically every place in Bali where local people live is full of such colorful accents.

ASIA senses? part 1.

Asia senses - part 1. I recently met with you live, where I talked about how you can perceive Asia through different senses. I received many messages from you asking me to expand my story , so I decided to describe my impressions right here - on our blog. Asia is a specific continent. When I visited different countries in this region of the world, I had the impression that my senses were sharpening. I enjoyed absorbing the colors, sounds, flavors and scents of colorful and aromatic Asia. I had the opportunity to visit many places on Earth, but it was Asian countries that enchanted me the most with their intensity of the impressions they provided. Have you ever wondered why Orientana cosmetics have multi-colored packaging ? It's our trademark! We pack natural ingredients obtained from Asian plants, oils, mushrooms and minerals in charming and colorful bottles, tubes and jars. Now I invite you on a short journey, where we will see the different colors of my beloved Asia. Did you know that up to 80% of information reaches our brain through the sense of sight ? In Asia, the abundance of juicy colors around us constantly surprises the eyes. The streets in Asian cities shimmer with colors. Even poor women living in slums wear fabulously colorful saris . An interesting fact is that a sari requires up to 5-6 meters of fabric, which is not sewn or fastened with safety pins - this is an illegal practice that makes this traditional outfit "unclean". Bright red saris decorated with metallic thread are one of the favorite patterns of brides. In western India, saris are finished with patterns referring to paintings in temples. Each region has its favorite patterns and colors, which are visible throughout the subcontinent. In addition to clothes , the stalls with exotic fruits, vegetables and spices also attract attention on Asian streets. You will find there sunny yellow mangoes, pineapples or bananas, intensely orange peaches, tangerines, papayas and turmeric, pink lychees or dragon fruits and purple mangosteens. Right next to them will be green amla fruits, prickly durians, coconuts, cherries, strawberries, watermelons or rambutans with skin in shades of yellow, red or pink and many other delicacies in all colors of the rainbow. Can you imagine that? Following the sense of sight, it is also worth paying attention to the architecture. While in Europe, subdued shades of buildings or temples and their simpler forms reign supreme, Asia definitely stands out with its richness of colors and variety of shapes. My attention was drawn to the Sikh temples called gurudwaras. The beautiful Golden Temple in Amritsar dates back to the late 16th century and is built of marble, copper, and gold. The connection between Hindu and Islamic architecture is clearly visible here. It was destroyed many times, but each time it was rebuilt even more beautiful. I was incredibly impressed by the fact that the dome of the temple, which weighs about 750 kg, was made of pure gold! If you have the opportunity to visit this place, take a look at the ceiling from the inside, which is richly decorated with gold and precious stones. You will not see such splendor as in Asian temples anywhere else in the world.

Vitamin A: The Secret of Youth and Healthy Skin! Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is gaining increasing recognition in the skin care industry, mainly due to its anti-aging and skin-improving properties. Retinol’s effects include wrinkle reduction, skin texture improvement, lightening discolorations, moisturizing, and fighting acne. ​ How does retinol affect the skin? It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, key proteins responsible for skin elasticity and firmness. Thanks to this, retinol is able to reduce the visibility of wrinkles and expression lines, lighten discolorations, and normalize melanin production, which leads to an even skin tone. Are there any disadvantages of using retinol? Despite its many benefits, retinol can cause skin reactions, such as irritation, dryness, or flaking, especially when first starting out. That's why it's important to use it as directed and protect your skin from the sun. A modern form of retinol – RETINOL H10 With the modern ADVANCED SKIN LIFT UP SERUM REISHI I RETINOL H10 0.5%, the Orientana brand has introduced a modern form of retinol to the market – RETINOL H10, which is devoid of irritating properties typical of most retinoids. The hydrogenation process increases its stability, making it more resistant to oxidation, light and high temperature. RETINOL H10: Effects and Use RETINOL H10 is focused on stimulating the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, thanks to which the skin becomes soft, elastic and firm. It is recommended to gradually introduce this product into the daily care routine, monitoring the skin's reaction. Hydrogenated retinol makes the skin "pumped" with moisture like a sponge, thanks to which its firmness is visibly improved, and unevenness or wrinkles are smoothed out. To maintain this condition, it is also worth taking care of the skin barrier, which is responsible for the long-lasting effect and will make the results of RETINOL H10 last longer. In order to strengthen and rebuild the hydrolipid barrier, the above-mentioned serum will be perfectly complemented by the second novelty of the Orientana brand - ADVANCED SKIN REPAIR SERUM REISHI I CERAFLUID® 5% used on the day.

Hair care in summer

Hair care in summer Summer is a demanding time for hair. Regardless of whether we spend our vacation on the Baltic Sea, in the Maldives or in the city, it is worth taking special care of our hair. During sunbathing and sea bathing, as well as due to high temperatures, the condition of hair can deteriorate. Fortunately, this can be effectively prevented. What damages hair in summer? Summer weather and outdoor activities can dry out your hair. They become prone to breakage and split ends. The sun, chlorinated water, and seawater can be particularly damaging to weakened, dyed, or bleached hair. Such treatments, combined with summer weather, can make your hair even more susceptible to damage. An interesting fact is that strong exposure to sunlight can also have an adverse effect on the scalp, so it is worth taking special care of it using delicate natural shampoos without SLS and, if necessary, oiling the hair. Then, in the fall and winter, you will be able to enjoy strong and shiny hair without the need for additional regeneration. How to care for your hair in summer? It is a good idea to visit a hairdresser at the beginning of summer and have your hair slightly trimmed.

During the summer, it is worth using a few universal tips that will definitely protect your hair from drying out and weakening. Here are a few of them: Whenever possible, protect your hair from the sun by wearing a head covering. Choose a highly moisturizing natural shampoo and a light natural hair conditioner. At the end of washing, rinse your hair with cold water. Avoid heating your hair with straighteners and curling irons. Let your hair dry naturally or blow-dry it with cool air from a hair dryer. Limit tight updos and don't tie your hair too tightly. Protect your hair with a swimming cap if you plan to immerse your head in a pool or the sea. or at least rinse them. Use oiling when going to the beach. You will protect your hair from the harmful effects of the sun and sea water. It is worth remembering that when we immerse our hair in a pool or the sea, we wash off what we have previously applied to it. Therefore, in the interests of the environment, we should wash our hair before using a swimming pool or bathing in a lake, river or sea. This is not always possible, so it is worth at least ensuring that what runs off our hair does not harm the environment. Residues from dye, leave-in conditioners, mousses or hairsprays penetrate the aquatic environment, harming plants and fauna. The same applies to oils and other tanning products. From generously smeared skin, such creams or balms also run off into the water, so you have to take this into account when choosing cosmetics that you use on the beach. How to dye your hair in summer? In the summer, hair can lighten and fade faster from the sun. In the case of shades of blond, this can be a desirable phenomenon. Brown hair can also look beautiful with delicate, naturally sun-lightened strands. Dyed hair always loses its expressive color faster during the holiday season and often becomes dull. A good way is to use natural hair dyes . Herbal hennas are perfect for hair care in the summer and all year round.

Summer weather and outdoor activities can dry out your hair. They become prone to breakage and split ends. The sun, chlorinated water, and seawater can be particularly damaging to weakened, dyed, or bleached hair. Such treatments, combined with summer weather, can make your hair even more susceptible to damage. An interesting fact is that strong exposure to sunlight can also have an adverse effect on the scalp, so it is worth taking special care of it using delicate natural shampoos without SLS and, if necessary, oiling the hair. Then, in the fall and winter, you will be able to enjoy strong and shiny hair without the need for additional regeneration. How to care for your hair in summer? It is a good idea to visit a hairdresser at the beginning of summer and have your hair slightly trimmed. This way you can quickly get rid of split ends, regain the natural lightness of your hairstyle and refresh your summer look. During the summer, it is worth using a few universal tips that will definitely protect your hair from drying out and weakening. Here are a few of them: Whenever possible, protect your hair from the sun by wearing a head covering. Choose a highly moisturizing natural shampoo and a light natural hair conditioner. At the end of washing, rinse your hair with cold water. Avoid heating your hair with straighteners and curling irons. Let your hair dry naturally or blow-dry it with cool air from a hair dryer. Limit tight updos and don't tie your hair too tightly. Protect your hair with a swimming cap if you plan to immerse your head in a pool or the sea, or at least rinse it off. Use oiling when going to the beach. You will protect your hair from the harmful effects of the sun and sea water. It is worth remembering that when we immerse our hair in a pool or the sea, we wash off what we have previously applied to it. Therefore, in the interests of the environment, we should wash our hair before using a swimming pool or bathing in a lake, river or sea. This is not always possible, so it is worth at least ensuring that what runs off our hair does not harm the environment. Residues from dye, leave-in conditioners, mousses or hairsprays penetrate the aquatic environment, harming plants and fauna. The same applies to oils and other tanning products. From generously smeared skin, such creams or balms also run off into the water, so you have to take this into account when choosing cosmetics that you use on the beach. How to dye your hair in summer? In the summer, hair can lighten and fade faster from the sun. In the case of shades of blond, this can be a desirable phenomenon. Brown hair can also look beautiful with delicate, naturally sun-lightened strands. Dyed hair always loses its expressive color faster during the holiday season and often becomes dull. A good way is to use natural hair dyes . Herbal hennas are perfect for hair care in the summer and all year round. Due to the fact that natural henna can be used to dye hair much more often than chemical dyes, the hair color can be maintained at an equally intense level throughout the holiday :) Natural hair cosmetics for the summer Among natural hair cosmetics for the summer, it is definitely worth distinguishing a good quality shampoo , which will not only have a cleansing function, but will also moisturize the hair.

Is it worth using SPF every day?

Among consumers in Poland and throughout Europe, awareness of skin photoaging and why sun protection is so important is growing. There is no doubt that the most effective way to protect the skin from premature aging is to use sunscreen cosmetics. It is important to remember that the skin is exposed to the negative effects of UV radiation all year round - regardless of the weather or season. It is therefore worth reaching for cosmetics with high SPF values ​​not only in the summer. Ideally, these will be natural cosmetics. For everyday use, a product with an SPF of at least 30 will be suitable, but it is worth paying attention to whether the cream also protects against UVA radiation. Of course, in the summer and generally on sunny days, the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of our skin is much higher. Therefore, it is worth paying even more attention to protection at this time by using cosmetics with an SPF 50+ filter. Unfortunately, no cosmetic, even with the highest sun protection factor, protects the skin 100% - so you should follow a few additional rules: avoid exposure to full sun (usually around noon), avoid sunbathing, even by using sunscreen creams, wear protective clothing and headgear, Reapply sunscreen approximately every 2 hours when outdoors and after each time you come out of the water. The level of protection against UV radiation is directly dependent on the amount of product applied and whether it creates an even, uninterrupted film on the skin. According to the methodology adopted by the European Commission, the SPF value (specifies the level of protection against UVB) and PPD (specifies the level of protection against UVA) are measured by applying 2 mg of the product to 1 cm 2 of the proband's skin. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to whether we apply the right amount of the cosmetic to be sure that the product will protect the skin to the extent declared by its manufacturer. Reapplication of sunscreen creams is extremely important because over time, our facial expressions, the presence of sebum or sweat on it negatively affect the continuity of the protective sunscreen layer. Properly selected creams with UV filters are a proven and one of the most effective ways to protect your skin from the harmful effects of UVA and UVB radiation. By using such products before going out in the sun, you also minimize the risk of unpleasant irritations or even painful burns. Sun protection is also a way to limit the rapid aging process of the skin and reduce the risk of unsightly discolorations and wrinkles appearing on the skin.
