How to choose a GOOD face booster? TOP 3
A good face booster is one of the elements of anti-aging care today. What is a face booster? The English word "boost" means "recharge" and this is where the name of this amazing cosmetic comes from, which is designed to provide the skin with a shock dose of concentrated active ingredients. A good face booster is a special purpose cosmetic that adds energy to the skin and also has specific properties depending on the substances used in them. Boosters usually have a lighter consistency than creams. They can be used alone or, like a serum, under the cream that we apply to the face. A good face booster is a cosmetic that acts as a "booster" for the skin. It contains highly concentrated active ingredients such as vitamins, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid, which help solve specific skin problems. Features and Functions of a Good Face Booster Boosters have common features but also unique ones. Different ingredients but similar consistencies. Boosters are light and watery, so they absorb quickly and start working immediately. Their task is to strengthen and protect the stratum corneum of the epidermis, which creates a protective barrier for the skin. They can also support the action of other cosmetics, such as serums or creams. There are different types of boosters available, e.g. regenerative ones. Boosters can be used alone on cleansed skin or as an addition to other cosmetics to increase their effectiveness. A good face booster offers many benefits. First of all, it quickly improves the condition of the skin - this is due to the high concentration of ingredients. Boosters help to moisturize, brighten and strengthen the skin, as well as reduce the signs of aging. Thanks to their concentrated ingredients, boosters enhance the effects of other care products. Why choose a natural facial booster? Boosters can of course take different forms. Their consistency can range from light like water to rich like cream, but they usually take the form of a light creamy emulsion, i.e. a semi-liquid cosmetic that absorbs very quickly, allowing for the application of another product - face cream or foundation or powder. Among boosters, those that are characterized by a high degree of naturalness deserve special attention, but you should also check what exactly they contain to provide the skin with what it needs and for the effect to be as spectacular as possible. If we find the perfect ingredient for our skin, it is worth checking whether a given brand of natural cosmetics offers, in addition to the cream, a booster with the same active substance. Properties of natural boosters. Natural facial boosters have a number of beneficial properties that make them increasingly popular among people who care about the health and appearance of their skin. One of these unique properties is the skin boosting with active ingredients . A good facial booster contains ingredients of plant or mineral origin that help in cell regeneration, slow down the aging process and regulate the skin's function. The purpose of a good face booster is also to add energy. Boosters help to refresh and improve the condition of the skin, giving it a look full of energy. They protect the skin from adverse factors such as pollution and solar radiation. They also have a care function. They provide skin care, improving its appearance and health. They protect the skin by strengthening its natural protective barriers, protecting it from water loss and ensuring proper hydration. The advantage of natural boosters For those looking for natural skincare, a good facial booster is a great choice. Why do we choose it? Because it contains natural ingredients that are more skin and environmentally friendly than synthetic substances, which is especially important for people who want to live in harmony with nature. Despite their naturalness, natural boosters are just as effective as synthetic products, providing visible care effects. They protect the skin's water-lipid coat, preventing water loss and supporting its natural functions 6 . Natural booster charges the skin with active ingredients that are of plant or mineral origin. This is extremely beneficial for the skin. Thoroughly tested and proven in modern laboratories, ingredients that have amazing properties in a completely natural and effective way regenerate cells, slow down their aging process and regulate the skin's work. How to use facial booster? How often you use a facial booster depends on your skin’s needs and the manufacturer’s recommendations. In most cases, you can use a booster every day, both morning and night, as part of your daily skincare routine. If your skin is very sensitive, you may want to start with a lower frequency, e.g. every other day, to avoid irritation. Using the booster twice a day optimizes the effects of other cosmetics and provides the skin with continuous support. If we have only used a cream or serum so far, it is worth trying to see how a booster will work on our skin. It may turn out that the current care supplemented with its action will gain a completely new dimension and quality. A good facial booster can be used alone or under cream.

WHAT IS SESSA OIL?
Sesa oil is one of the most valued hair care products, dating back to traditional Ayurvedic medicine. It uses natural ingredients such as herbal oils, herbs and extracts that have been used for centuries in India to improve the condition of hair and scalp. Ayurveda creates many oils for the scalp and hair . In this article, we will discuss where Sesa oil comes from, its traditional uses in Ayurveda and the benefits of using it. How was Sesa oil created? SESA OIL AND ITS HISTORICAL ROOTS Sesa oil comes from the tradition of Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine that dates back more than 5,000 years. Ayurveda views hair as a reflection of the overall health and balance of the body. Ancient Ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita describe herbs and oils that support hair growth, prevent hair loss, and delay the graying process. Sesa oil has been developed based on these traditional recipes, combining natural ingredients into a harmonious formula. The product is based on knowledge passed down from generation to generation and is used in India for both hair care and health rituals. SESA OIL - Ayurvedic tradition Herbs and ingredients in the recipe Sesa oil contains a rich composition based on Ayurvedic plants and herbs. Key ingredients include: Bhringraj (Eclipta prostrata) : Known as the "king of hair", it supports hair growth, prevents hair loss and has anti-dandruff properties. Amla (Emblica officinalis) : A source of vitamin C and antioxidants, it strengthens hair follicles and delays graying. Neem (Azadirachta indica) : Has antibacterial and soothing properties, helping with scalp problems. Shikakai (Acacia concinna) : A natural cleansing agent, it adds shine to the hair and improves its structure. Sesame and Coconut Oil : Carrier oils that moisturize, nourish and strengthen hair. Sesa oil is therefore a mixture of oils and plant extracts. Sesa Oil Manufacturing Process The traditional method of producing Sesa oil involves heating the ingredients in a base oil of sesame or coconut. This process extracts the active substances from the herbs, which are then combined into a harmonious blend. This technique is called Kshir Pak Vidhi in Ayurveda, which means "boiling in milk." This allows the oil to retain all its nutritional and therapeutic properties. ORIENTANA SESA OIL - AYURVEDIC THERAPY Orientana also produces its Sesa oil using Ayurvedic oils and herbs and manufactures it according to the principles of natural cosmetics and Ayurvedic guidelines. It is an aromatic oil designed to be rubbed into the scalp and hair before washing. It strengthens, thickens, stimulates hair growth and reduces hair loss. It also has a nourishing effect on the scalp. The Hair Therapy formula contains 11 oils and 12 extracts from Indian herbs. Using Sesa oil in hair care Benefits of regular use Regular use of Sesa oil brings a number of benefits to the condition of the hair and scalp. First of all, this oil strengthens the hair by intensively nourishing the hair follicles, which prevents their brittleness and excessive loss. The active ingredients contained in it, such as bhringraj and amla, support the regeneration of hair follicles, which stimulates the growth of new hair and improves its overall density. Sesa oil also has strong moisturizing and regenerating properties. Thanks to its deep penetration into the hair structure, it helps smooth, soften and give it a healthy, shiny look. This effect is especially beneficial in the case of dry and damaged hair. In addition, the presence of ingredients such as neem and shikakai helps to soothe scalp irritations. These natural substances reduce dandruff and itching, supporting the maintenance of healthy skin microflora. Regular use of Sesa oil can also delay the process of graying hair, which is possible thanks to the high content of antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and slow down the aging process. In summary, Sesa oil is a versatile hair care product that not only strengthens hair and supports its growth, but also improves the condition of the scalp, contributing to the overall health and aesthetics of the hair. How to use Sesa oil? Using Sesa oil requires proper preparation and following a few steps that maximize its effectiveness. The first step is to prepare the hair by combing it thoroughly, which allows you to remove tangles and facilitates even distribution of the product. Then, you should proceed to applying the oil. It is recommended to apply a small amount of the product directly to the scalp, and then gently massage for 5–10 minutes. Massage plays a key role because it improves microcirculation in the scalp, which increases the absorption of active ingredients contained in the oil. This process also promotes relaxation and improves the overall condition of the scalp. After application, the oil should be left on the hair for several hours or overnight. Longer exposure time allows for deeper penetration of nutrients into the hair structure and hair follicles, which significantly increases the effectiveness of care. The final step is to wash your hair thoroughly using a gentle shampoo, preferably sulfate-free. Shampoos with mild ingredients help maintain the natural moisture of your hair and scalp without damaging their protective barrier. Following the described steps of using Sesa oil allows you to fully utilize its regenerative, strengthening and nourishing properties, ensuring optimal results in hair care. Ayurveda and hair health Ayurveda's Holistic Approach Ayurveda treats hair care as part of a holistic approach to health. According to this philosophy, healthy hair is the result of balance in the body and the three doshas: vata , pitta and kapha . Sesa oil is designed to support this balance by working externally on the hair and scalp. Ayurvedic Recommendations for Healthy Hair Ayurveda, the traditional system of Indian medicine, offers a holistic approach to hair care, based on balancing the doshas (vata, pitta and kapha) and using natural methods and ingredients. In Ayurveda, healthy hair is considered a reflection of the overall health and balance of the body. Ayurvedic recommendations include both external hair care and internal support for health through diet, lifestyle and supplementation. Balanced diet Ayurveda emphasizes that hair health depends on proper nutrition of the body. A diet rich in nutrients that support hair growth and regeneration is recommended. A special role is assigned to: Proteins : Important for the formation of keratin, the main component of hair. Healthy fats : Vegetable oils, avocados and nuts support scalp hydration. Vitamins and minerals : Vitamins A, C, E, D, iron, zinc and biotin are crucial for keeping hair strong and shiny. Herbs and Spices : Ayurvedic herbs such as amla, bhringraj and shatavari support hair regeneration and prevent hair loss. Proper hydration Ayurveda recommends drinking enough water to keep both your body and scalp hydrated. Inadequate hydration can lead to dry skin, dandruff, and weak hair. Scalp massage Regular scalp massage with herbal oils such as sesame oil, coconut oil or bhringraj oil is a key element of Ayurvedic hair care. Massage: Improves blood circulation, which helps nourish hair follicles. It relaxes the nervous system, reducing stress, which is one of the main causes of hair loss. Supports hydration and strengthens hair structure. Herbs and natural remedies Ayurveda uses numerous herbs and natural ingredients in hair care: Amla : Rich in vitamin C, it strengthens hair and prevents greying. Bhringraj : Known as the “queen of hair”, it supports hair growth and prevents hair loss. Neem : It has antibacterial properties, soothes scalp irritations and reduces dandruff. Shikakai : A natural cleansing agent, it gently cleanses the hair while moisturizing it. Avoiding harmful factors Ayurveda emphasizes avoiding practices and factors that can weaken hair: Excessive use of chemical styling and dyeing products. Sun exposure without hair protection. Frequent use of heat styling devices such as straighteners or blow dryers. Bad habits, such as combing or tying hair too tightly. Stress management Stress is a major factor in hair problems such as hair loss and premature greying. Ayurveda recommends relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga and pranayama (breathing techniques) to minimize the impact of stress on hair health. Sleep and regeneration Adequate sleep is essential for the body's regenerative processes, including hair health. Ayurveda recommends a regular circadian rhythm, avoiding late bedtimes, and creating a relaxing environment conducive to rest. Regular cleansing of the body According to Ayurveda, the accumulation of toxins (ama) in the body can negatively affect the health of hair. Regular cleansing practices such as drinking lemon water, using herbs that aid in detoxification (e.g. triphala), and avoiding heavy meals are key to maintaining healthy hair. Summary Sesa oil is a unique product that combines the tradition of Ayurveda with modern hair care needs. Thanks to a rich blend of natural ingredients such as bhringraj, amla and neem, and a unique manufacturing process, this oil offers effective hair regeneration, strengthening and hydration. Regular use of Sesa oil, combined with a holistic approach to health, can bring long-term benefits, not only for hair, but also for general well-being. Choosing Sesa oil is a return to natural care methods that have proven themselves over the centuries.

IS SODIUM BENZOATE HARMFUL?
If you have ever wondered whether sodium benzoate is harmful, this post will help you dispel your doubts. Sodium benzoate (E211) is one of the most commonly used preservatives in the food and cosmetics industry. Its popularity is due to its effectiveness in preventing the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and molds. Despite its wide use, questions are increasingly being raised about its potential harmfulness to health. This article examines the effects of using sodium benzoate from the point of view of its presence in cosmetics and food, based on available scientific research. If you read it carefully, you will know whether sodium benzoate is harmful or not. Characteristics of sodium benzoate Sodium benzoate is a salt of benzoic acid, which is formed by a neutralization reaction. Its preservative properties are due to its antibacterial and antifungal effects in acidic conditions (pH below 4.5). For this reason, sodium benzoate is often used in food products such as carbonated drinks, fruit juices and sauces, and in cosmetics including creams, shampoos and shower gels. However, is it safe and is sodium benzoate harmful when used as a preservative in food? Is sodium benzoate of natural origin? Sodium benzoate is a synthetic substance, although its counterpart, benzoic acid, occurs naturally in some foods, such as berries, plums, apples, and cinnamon. Benzoic acid is obtained industrially and converted to sodium benzoate by neutralization with sodium hydroxide. The result is a stable, synthetic preservative that effectively protects products against the development of microorganisms. is sodium benzoate harmful in food? Mechanism of action in food Sodium benzoate inhibits the growth of microorganisms by disrupting their metabolism in acidic conditions. This effectively prolongs the shelf life of food products, minimizing the risk of food poisoning. It is particularly effective against yeast and lactic acid bacteria. Food safety According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), sodium benzoate is considered safe at levels up to the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 5 mg per kilogram of body weight. It is considered safe in Europe, but is sodium benzoate harmful in other countries? Sodium benzoate (E211) is a common preservative in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. In the United States, it is classified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), meaning that experts consider it safe when used as intended. In Canada, sodium benzoate is also approved for use as a food additive, provided that certain concentration limits are met. Canadian regulations regulate the maximum allowable levels of this substance in various food products to ensure consumer safety. Scientists asked if sodium benzoate is harmful reported that it can cause allergic reactions, especially in people with asthma or hypersensitivity to salicylates. Research conducted by McCann et al. (2007) indicates that sodium benzoate in combination with artificial colors can affect hyperactivity in children. is sodium benzoate harmful in cosmetics The Role of Sodium Benzoate in Cosmetics In cosmetics, sodium benzoate acts as a preservative, protecting products from spoilage due to the growth of bacteria and fungi. It is particularly often used in natural and organic cosmetics, where it is an alternative to more aggressive preservatives. Safety of use in cosmetics According to the expert opinion of the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS), sodium benzoate is safe in cosmetics at a maximum concentration of up to 0.5%. Toxicological studies indicate that this substance does not have a carcinogenic or mutagenic effect under standard conditions of use. However, in some people it may cause: Skin irritation: Especially with prolonged contact with cosmetics containing sodium benzoate. Allergic reactions: People with sensitive skin may experience redness or itching. Sodium Benzoate is a commonly used preservative in cosmetics, both in the United States and Canada. Its main function is to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, which prolongs the shelf life of cosmetic products. Concentration restrictions: Rinse-off products (e.g. shampoos, shower gels): The maximum permissible concentration of sodium benzoate is 2.5%. Leave-in products (e.g. creams, balms): Permissible concentration is up to 0.5%. Oral hygiene products (e.g. toothpastes, mouthwashes): Maximum concentration is 1.7%. In the United States, sodium benzoate is recognized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as Generally Safe for Use (GRAS) under certain conditions. In Canada, it is also permitted for use in cosmetics, provided established concentration limits are met. The effectiveness of sodium benzoate is highest in products with a pH below 5. At higher pH values its preservative action may be less effective. Concentration and interaction with other preservatives Sodium benzoate is usually used in cosmetics at concentrations of up to 0.5%, which has been deemed safe by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS). To enhance its preservative effect, it is often combined with other substances, such as: Sorbic acid and potassium sorbate: Provide effective protection against yeast and mold. Phenoxyethanol: Enhances antibacterial activity and extends product durability. Dehydroacetic acid: Especially effective against bacteria. Glycols (e.g. propanediol): Support the penetration of active substances and improve formulation stability. Safety of use in cosmetics According to SCCS experts, sodium benzoate is safe in cosmetics at a maximum concentration of 0.5%. Toxicological studies indicate that this substance does not exhibit carcinogenic or mutagenic effects under standard conditions of use. However, in some people it may cause: Allergic reactions: People with sensitive skin may experience redness or itching. Skin irritation: Especially with prolonged contact with cosmetics containing sodium benzoate. Application of be Scientific research and conclusions Research by McCann et al. (2007): Showed the potential effect of sodium benzoate on hyperactivity in children in combination with dyes. SCCS studies: Confirmed the safety of using sodium benzoate in cosmetics at recommended concentrations. Benzene research: Indicates the need to limit exposure to products containing both sodium benzoate and vitamin C. Conclusions Sodium benzoate is an effective and widely used preservative in food and cosmetics. Its safety depends on the concentrations used and the method of use. Although it is considered safe by regulatory agencies, there is a need for further research into its long-term health effects, especially when consumed in combination with other chemicals. Sodium benzoate, acting as a preservative, is found in several Orientana cosmetics. Based on available information, it is an ingredient in products such as: Natural Vegan Reishi Day Face Cream, 50 ml Natural Vegan Reishi Night Face Cream, 50 ml Reishi and Rhodiola Rosea Brightening Booster for the Day, 30 ml Reishi and Purple Rice Night Regenerating Booster, 30 ml Summary Is sodium benzoate harmful? The answer depends on the context of use. In cosmetics and food, it is considered safe when used according to guidelines. However, potential side effects, such as allergic reactions, and controversy over the formation of benzene indicate the need for informed choice of products containing this substance. Further scientific research is needed to dispel any doubts and ensure maximum safety for consumers.

Do you know how to firm your skin after the age of 50? During this period, the skin undergoes major changes related to hormones, such as a decrease in estrogen levels. Estrogen stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, which give the skin firmness and elasticity. WHY SHOULD WE FIRM OUR SKIN AFTER 50 AND HOW? Firming the skin of the face after the age of 50 requires regular care and the use of appropriate treatments, products and healthy habits. After the age of 50, the skin becomes different than before. This is a natural stage of aging, because our skin simply changes during menopause. What happens to the firmness of the skin at this time? In the first five years after menopause, women lose about 30% of the collagen in their skin. Collagen is a structural protein that is a key component of our skin, providing it with elasticity, firmness and strength . It makes up about 75% of dry skin mass and is the main component of connective tissue, also found in bones, joints, tendons and ligaments. Studies show that skin elasticity decreases by 1.5-2% per year after the age of 50 . Another important factor in skin firmness after the age of 50 is the loss of moisture . 36-64% of postmenopausal women report problems with dry skin, which is due to a decrease in hyaluronic acid and lipid production. The strength of mature skin and its skin barrier are severely impaired during this period, and studies indicate that after the age of 50, women can lose up to 20% of their skin thickness .

A healthy diet is the basis for good-looking skin. Eat foods rich in antioxidants (vegetables, fruits), healthy fats (olive oil, nuts) and protein that supports collagen production (fish, eggs, legumes). Limit alcohol and smoking. These products have a very negative effect on skin firmness. Hydration is also key. Drink at least 1.5-2 liters of water a day to keep your skin hydrated. Don't forget about physical activity. It has a positive effect not only on your mental state but also on the appearance of your skin. Long walks or exercises improve circulation, which helps nourish and oxygenate the skin. 3. WHAT FACIAL TREATMENTS FOR A 50-YEAR-OLD WOMAN Exfoliation after the age of 50 is essential Choose a treatment under the supervision of a beautician. We would recommend microdermabrasion or chemical peels They help in skin renewal, improving skin smoothness and elasticity. Choose a treatment with acids (e.g. TCA, AHA) that exfoliate the outer layers of the epidermis and stimulate skin regeneration. You can also use gentle acid peels at home. However, check the description of such a cosmetic. In this link you will find acid peeling as the first stage of skin firming after the age of 50. Treatments to stimulate facial skin firming after the age of 50 Needle or needle-free mesotherapy It introduces vitamin cocktails, hyaluronic acid or peptides into the skin, which intensively moisturizes, nourishes and stimulates renewal processes. The result of such treatments is increased firmness and hydration. Tissue biostimulants This is a novelty in firming therapies. Specialized preparations (e.g. with polynucleotides, calcium hydroxyapatite) injected into the skin to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and cell regeneration. The effects are subtle but long-lasting, because they act on deep biological processes in the skin. A subtle improvement in skin hydration and tension may be noticeable after a few days to a week after the treatment, especially in the case of preparations based on hyaluronic acid. Full effects usually appear after 4-6 weeks , when fibroblasts stimulated by the biostimulator begin to intensively produce collagen and elastin. The regeneration process lasts for the next months. The results are long-lasting and can last from 6 to 18 months , depending on the type of preparation, age and skin condition. Fractional CO₂ Laser The treatment stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, improving skin texture and tension and reducing wrinkles. Microneedle radiofrequency (RF) It is a combination of microneedles and radio waves that stimulate the deeper layers of the skin, improving its firmness and structure. HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) High-frequency ultrasound tightens the skin, improving facial contours and elasticity at the deep tissue level. It is worth introducing appropriate supplementation under the supervision of a doctor. Supplements should not be an alternative to healthy eating, however. It is best to perform a package of tests for the concentration of: vitamin A, vitamin B12, total calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium, calcium, iron and folic acid in the blood. Check the collagen concentration in the body. It is necessary to test the blood for the level of C-telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP). This indicator shows the processes related to collagen metabolism in bones and skin. CONCLUSIONS Now you know how to firm your skin after 50. The key to success lies in regularity. A combination of daily care, healthy habits and appropriate treatments can significantly improve the firmness of your facial skin.

AMLA FOR HAIR - "THE CARER" IN AYURVEDA
Amla for hair? Yes, it is! It is an ingredient used in Orientana cosmetics for hair care. It is found in Ayurvedic Shampoos , Ayurvedic Hair Therapy , Hair Tonic and Hennas for hair. You are probably wondering what this plant is, where it comes from and what are its properties that we so willingly use in our cosmetics. We will try to bring the subject of this ingredient closer. AMLA FOR HAIR - Where does this ingredient come from? Amla, or Emblica Officinalis, grows in India and also in Malaysia. It is considered one of the herbs with the strongest rejuvenating effect there – which is why in India, in Ayurvedic medicine, it is called a “caretaker”. It is a long-lived tree, it is believed to bring happiness, love and longevity. In Indian tradition, it has been used for years to care for and strengthen hair – it strengthens hair follicles, prevents hair loss and split ends. Amla is commonly called the Indian gooseberry. This is because of the shape of the fruit – small, firm and green. Amla fruits, tart in taste, refreshing, are exceptionally rich in vitamin C. One such fruit contains about 3000 mg of this vitamin! That is as much as in two lemons! Orientana natural cosmetics use it as a natural source of vitamin C for Bio Serum Vitamin C and Mulberry. What are the properties of amla as an active ingredient? What other properties does it have? It is a basic strengthening and rebuilding ingredient with a versatile effect. Natural hair cosmetics fortified with Indian gooseberry will have an anti-inflammatory and anti-dandruff effect on the scalp. Regular use will add shine, deepen and revive the natural color and delay premature graying. We use this enormous power of amla in Orientana cosmetics. And finally, an interesting fact! In India, Indian gooseberries are eaten raw, cooked and pickled. Often as an addition to muesli, yoghurt or fruit cocktail, they are a great addition to the diet. They are also available in the form of sweets!
