Ziaja
Wednesday, July 15
After my last review of Ziaja's skincare products, I was kindly gifted their new body scrub from their new summer Lemon Cake collection. For those that haven't read my previous review on Ziaja's skincare products (you can read it HERE) Ziaja is a Polish company, which focuses on skin and hair needs by offering the highest quality products based on natural ingredients at very good prices. It's a family owned company which was founded in 1989 in Poland and has over 1000 beauty care products for face, body and hair care and pharmaceuticals of the highest quality. Ziaja is an ecological brand - it's cruelty free, has environmentally friendly production and almost all of their products are vegan. If you are interested to find out more about their Lemon Cake sugar body scrub, then let's get right into the review!
Lemon Cake sugar body scrub comes from the new summer collection Ziaja has launched at the end of May. The collection includes 4 products: hand and body foam wash, hand cream, bath jelly soap and the sugar body scrub. You can shop the collection here. Once again, a big thank you to Ziaja for gifting me the body scrub, so I could test it out and review!
The sugar body scrub has an incredible lemon scent of a birthday cake and it aims to smooth the skin with its natural sugar crystals. It also reduces dryness and roughness of the skin, leaving it feeling super soft, gently oiled and smoothed with no necessity to use a body balm/butter after. This scrub unlike others, can be used daily.
Main Ingredients:
- Shea Butter

Final Thoughts
I was so excited to receive this body scrub and test it out. I am a huge fan of Ziaja's body care products, especially their Olive Oil and Acai Berry collections, so when I heard about their new summer range, I knew I had to try it. I have been using their Gdanskin Oil body scrub for dry skin, so I was also very interested to see the difference between the two scrubs.
I found the Lemon Cake body scrub to feel super nice once applied to my skin. Sugar scrubs are perfect for exfoliating dead skin off of your body and I love to use them all over me. After using the Lemon Cake scrub, it left my skin feeling super soft and smooth and just like it says on their website, there is no need to apply lotion or body butter after. Its scent is also very pleasant because it's not too strong, it smells like lemon and vanilla - just what you would imagine a lemon birthday cake to smell like. Although I had plans to repurchase my Gdanskin oil body scrub, I will be switching to the Lemon Cake one for now because it does an amazing job for my body. I definitely recommend all of you to try out Ziaja's Lemon Cake summer collection as well as their other body care and skin care products because they are super affordable but at the same time high quality!

Another skincare review, this time focusing on Ziaja and their products. Ziaja is a Polish company, which focuses on skin and hair needs by offering the highest quality products based on natural ingredients at very good prices. It's a family owned company which was founded in 1989 in Poland and has over 1000 beauty care products for face, body and hair care and pharmaceuticals of the highest quality. Ziaja is an ecological brand - it's cruelty free, has environmentally friendly production and almost all of their products are vegan. If you're interested to learn more about their skincare products, let's get right into the review!
I decided to purchase and test the following - an exfoliator, face toner, serum and an eye cream. Both, the exfoliator and the face toner come from the Jeju collection which is directed at young skin. The series is dedicated at teenagers, and it has specially selected cosmetics formulas which are super moisturising, soothing, antibacterial, anti-seborrheic and cleansing. The two main forces of the Jeju series are natural, raw materials of Asian origin - Japanese camellia oil and binchotan charcoal.
When I look for a toner, I have to make sure that it doesn't contain alcohol in its ingredients, as alcohol applied straight to your face can cause ageing. Thankfully, this toner doesn't contain alcohol as its ingredient and I was excited to give it a go. I have tested many toners and my skin didn't have the best reaction to any of them, until I tried out this one. My super sensitive skin really likes this toner as so far, I haven't had any issues with it. It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed as well as super moisturised and soothed. The toner swears to refresh the skin, restore its natural pH, soothe irritations and help to get rid of imperfections. So far, this is the best and cheapest toner I have used!
Main Ingredients:
- Japanese Camellia Oil
- Binchotan Charcoal
- Cistus Extract
- Bark of Aspen Poplar Extract
This exfoliator comes in a thick white paste form which contains biodegradable exfoliating substances. It can be used daily. It differs a bit from your normal exfoliator, as you apply it onto your face, add some water and massage it in circular motions. I have used it twice and noticed that each time my skin felt very clean and moisturised. My current favourite exfoliator is the Wishful Yo Glow Enzyme Scrub - you can read my review of it HERE - but I did enjoy trying and using Ziaja's one.
Main Ingredients:
- Japanese Camellia Oil
- Binchotan Charcoal
- Cistus Extract
- Bark of Aspen Poplar Extract
I have also decided to reach out for an eye cream to test out and decided to get Ziaja's eye cream which contains Vitamin E. The eye cream has a very gentle cream-gel formula which is meant to be applied everyday around the eye area. I found that if you apply this cream too close to the eye, it can cause some irritation, more than other eye creams, so I try to be as careful when using it. However, it leaves my eye area very hydrated and moisturised throughout the day.
Main Ingredients:
- Vitamin E
- Provitamin B5 (D-panthenol)
- Grape seed oil
I left my favourite out of the four for last. I have tried many serums to test and review as well as to finally find one that will agree with my skin and I never really found the one. Ziaja's serum not only smooths my skin but also intensely moisturises it. Previous serums caused breakouts to my skin - more blog posts on that will come soon - and I feel like after using this serum for a while now, it has helped to calm my skin down and get it back to normal. It's definitely something I'm looking to stock up for my collection because I can see myself using this serum all the time. Also, I have to mention its beautiful scent which makes my skin smell so yummy!
Main Ingredients:
- Acai Berries
- Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone
- Beta-Glucan
- Hyaluronic Acid
- B5 (D-panthenol)
- Vitamin E
Final Thoughts
As you guys probably already know, I love sharing with you new brands that are unknown to many of you, especially Polish brands, as I am Polish myself. I have used Ziaja's skin products ever since I was little, but never skincare products. This was my first time testing them out and I am very impressed! What surprised me the most is how good these products have been performing on my sensitive skin comparing to other brands that are much more known around the world and have been disappointing for me. I have tried many drug store skin care products but none impressed me as much as Ziaja's. My favourite has to be the serum, but I do enjoy using all four products. I know that we tend to buy products from brand we know and are familiar with, but I would definitely recommend everyone to check out Ziaja because for its price, they 100% do not disappoint!
Let me know down in the comments which one of the four products you'd like to try the most. What other brands would you like me to test out? Let me know! Stay tuned for a new blog post coming soon xo
