Sunscreens and Vitamin D ☀
Do sunscreens actually block vitamin D synthesis? Learn about the real impact of sunscreens on vitamin D and why supplementation may be necessary. Sunscreens and Vitamin D Synthesis - Truth and Myths Recently, there have been many messages on social media, the authors of which call for the cessation of using SPF, arguing that sunscreens block the synthesis of vitamin D. Have you wondered if this is actually the case? How does vitamin D synthesis in the skin work? Vitamin D is normally synthesized in human skin under the influence of solar radiation, especially UVB radiation. When the sun's rays reach our skin, vitamin D precursors in the skin are converted into the active form of vitamin D3. Balance between sun protection and vitamin D synthesis Creams and lotions with SPF do not block radiation 100%, so some of it always reaches the skin, especially from April to September, when the solar radiation is strong enough and the skin is exposed to the sun. During this period, if we stay outside for long enough, our body can synthesize an adequate amount of vitamin D. After all, we do not cover the entire skin with SPF - usually the feet in sandals, ears or hands are still exposed to the sun. Vitamin D in autumn and winter: is supplementation necessary? In the fall and winter, when solar radiation is weaker and we spend most of our time indoors, our skin is unable to produce enough vitamin D. In such cases, vitamin D supplementation may be necessary regardless of whether or not we use SPF. Dietary Sources of Vitamin D and the Need for Supplementation Eggs, yellow cheeses and oily fish are rich in vitamin D, so vegans must rely solely on supplementation. We encourage you to always consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting a vitamin D supplement to determine the appropriate dose and check for any contraindications to its use. Vitamin D supplementation will increase your levels, but the effects of photoaging and UVB on the skin are really hard to reverse. Repeated exposure to the sun without proper protection can cause serious and irreversible skin damage, so we recommend our natural cosmetics with SPF and consulting a doctor about vitamin D supplementation. Fun fact: As part of the "National Program of Free Vitamin D Testing in Adults", in February 2014, serum 25(OH)D concentration was measured using the DiaSorin Liaison XL system (CLIA method), and basic anthropometric measurements were performed, including calculation of the BMI (Body Mass Index). The study included 2687 adult volunteers (2091 women, 596 men) aged 54.2 ± 16.1 (15.6-89.8) from 10 Polish cities. The results of the study, covering the largest Polish population to date in terms of numbers, are consistent with most current reports, confirming the very large scale of vitamin D deficiency in our country. The state of supply of vitamin D to the adult part of society, at least in the winter months, is unsatisfactory and requires action in the form of supplementation. Trust the sun but check. Sunscreens are important in care.

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 .

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.

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?

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.

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.

How to choose a natural face serum?
How to choose a natural face serum? Why is it worth choosing a natural facial serum? A face serum is a cosmetic that we usually reach for when we want to additionally nourish and rejuvenate the skin. It is most often associated with an anti-aging product, which is supposed to make the effect of a standard cream stronger. Many products from this series contain many ingredients that are supposed to improve skin tension, reduce the visibility of wrinkles or provide immediate firming. They contain substances with a strong surface effect, which will actually provide such a short-term effect. However, it is worth knowing that a serum can also help in everyday care and with various skin problems. However, for it to work effectively and long-term, it should be a natural face serum. Such a cosmetic composed of specially selected plant extracts will work great as additional care. What is the difference between a facial serum and a cream? Face cream is a product that we all know. It can have a light but compact consistency that absorbs quickly or a more substantial one that leaves a specific "film" - a layer on the skin. There are also protective creams with a very greasy consistency - they are supposed to protect the skin from frost or strong, winter wind. A face serum is, by definition, a cosmetic whose formula should be light, because we apply it under a cream. Serums come in liquid form, but here too we can see their diversity. They may have the consistency of: completely liquid like water gel oil. The method of application and the consistency of both cosmetics also require the use of different packaging. The face cream can be found: in a jar in a tube in a bottle with a dispenser On the other hand, facial serum is most often used in a bottle with a pump in the form of capsules with a portion for one application in a bottle with an attached pipette for dosing the product. Properties of natural facial serums. Natural face serum contains ingredients that have a long-lasting effect on the skin. Plant extracts, vitamins or hyaluronic acid, as well as other natural ingredients, actually penetrate the skin, ensuring that the active substances work properly. In addition, the effect of a good quality natural serum is visible after the first application, because it immediately smoothes the face and moisturizes the complexion, additionally preparing it to receive the cream. It is important to pay attention to the composition of the serum, because of course not every natural face serum will be suitable for every person. For example, the skin will have different needs: vascular acne and others mature or over dried with discoloration. Therefore, it is a good idea to read the description of a given serum on the manufacturer's website to know whether the natural ingredients of a given product will be suitable for our skin. Natural facial serum by Orientana - types.
