Živjo punce.

Hladnejši dnevi sploh ne ustrezajo moji koži na nogah, ki postane suha ter srbeča. Pozimi se res trudim uporabljat losjone ali masla, ki bi mojo kožo dobro nahranili. Tokrat sem imela na testu maslo znamke Ziaja. Za to znamko, poljskega izvora sem že slišala nekaj pohval, zato me njihovi izdelki precej zanimajo. Bazirajo na naravnih sestavinah ter ponujajo izdelke za obraz, telo in lase. Zadnje čase preizkušam več "naravnih" izdelkov in morem vedno omenit, da je lahko količina naravnih sestavin za certifikat tudi zelo majhna. Ziaja izdelke lahko kupite v bolje založenih drogerijah (npr. DM).

Hi girls.
I don't know about you, but the colder days effect the skin on my legs. It becomes dry and itchy, so I need to use quite a lot of body lotions. This time I tested a body butter by a polish brand named Ziaja. I did hear quite a lof of nice things about their products, so they intrigued me. Their ingredients are based on natural origin and in their range you can find products for face, body and hair. Lately I've been trying out quite a lot of natural products, however again I have to mention that natural ingredients play a small factor in manufacturing a natural product.

Pri tem maslu za telo me je najbolj pritegnil vonj kakava. Sicer sama nisem največji sladkosned, ampak nežen vonj kakava je vedno zelo prijeten. Tako kožo prijetno nadišavi ter vonj ni premočan. Maslo ima sicer bolj gosto teksturo, kar je za takšen kreme za telo značilno. Obarvanost pa omogoča, da se hitro razmaže ter ne pušča belih sledi za seboj. Sicer navodila narekujejo, da po telesu razmažeš debelo plast masla, kar se mi zdi malce sporno saj ob uporabi velike količine seveda izdelek hitro porabiš. Priporočam raje tanek oziroma normalen sloj, ki se hitro vpije ter po potrebi še kakšen sloj več. Za seboj pa maslo ne pusti mastnega občutka. Mojo kožo pa lepo nahrani. Izdelek je zelo prijeten za uporabo, vendar bi vseeno omenila, da obstajajo malce bolj hranljiva masla za telo (TBS).

What drew me mostly to this body butter is the smell of cocoa. I'm not a sweets kind of lover, however the nice smell of cocoa is so nice ! This one scents your skin nicely without being over-powering. The body butter has a typical thicker texture. Because it has a slight color to it, it's nicely distributed without leaving white traces behind. On the instructions it says to spread a thick layer across your skin, however that way you'd quickly use up this product. I recommend a thin to normal layer which absorbs quickly and then add another layer if necessary. It doesn't leave a greasy feeling behind but it nourishes the skin nicely. I do really like this product, however there are even more hydrating body butters out there.

Dobre lastnosti tega masla so nekatere sestavine, ki jih vsebuje: karitejevo maslo, kakavovo maslo, vitamin E ter omega 3 in 6 maščobe. Ena izmed slabih lastnosti pa je, da vsebuje palmovo olje. Mogoče, če niste toliko obveščeni o tem, z vami delim to spletno stran -> klik tukaj. Sama sicer pri nakupovanju nisem toliko pozorna na to, ampak vem, da bi vsi morali varovati okolje in se bolj zavedati kaj kupujemo. To olje je prisotno tudi v izdelkih za gospodinjstvo ter predvsem v hrani. Na tej povezavi pa si lahko ogledate tudi v kakšni obliki vse je palmovo olje prisotno, da ga boste tudi lažje našli na deklaracijah izdelkov. Če vas naprimer zanima, je palmovo olje zelo pogosto prisotno v milih. Sama z njimi pogosto čistim čopiče. Lusheva mila tega ne vsebujejo, v primerjavi mogoče z The Body Shop, L'Occitane, Melvita, Oriflame, Laino... Sicer pa lahko tudi sami preverite svoje izdelke. Zavedam se, da vseeno ne smem napačno sodit po podjetjih saj tudi sama uporabljam izdelke s palmovim oljem, vendar bom to poskušala vsaj v neki meri spremenit. Zagotovo obstaja veliko alternativ.

This body butter contains some really good and nourishing ingredients such as: shea butter, cocoa butter, vitamin E, omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.

However it also containt palm oil, which is good for you, however not for the eviroment. Maybe if you're not familiar with it, chekc out this site. Unfortunately I'm still not that aware of the ingredient while shopping, however we should be more aware of what we're buying. This oil is present almost everywhere: in our food, household products. Here you can take a look where and in which forms it is present. I did find out that in cosmetics it is mostly present in solid soaps. Lush soaps don't contain palm oil, in comparison to: The Body Shop and L'Occitane, which do contain it. I do realize that I'm using quite a lot of products containing palm oil, however I'm going to try to change that.
