Biobaza Golden Sun super tanning golden marmelade

June 25, 2016

I really like Biobaza as a brend, but the one product that I think it is the best one that they have is for sure Golden Sun super tanning golden marmelade or as I like to call it "tanning marmelade".

After I included this marmelade in one of Instagram photos in which I showed you some of my summer must haves, I got many messages asking where can you buy it, what is it like and does it really work. I knew I had to get this post up as soon as possible because the summer is here and also I think many of you would want to read a review.

Biobazu kao brend jako volim, a proizvod za koji smatram da je najbolja stvar koju imaju je Golden Sun super tanning golden marmelade iliti Zlatni pekmez za brzo tamnjenje i brončanu put od milja još nazivan i "pekmezom za sunčanje".

Nakon što sam ovaj pekmez pokazala u jednoj od slika na Instagramu gdje sam slikala neke sitnice koje su moje ljetni "must have", dobila sam puno poruka u inbox gdje ste pitale gdje ga kupiti, kakav je, da li stvarno djeluje i slično. Znala sam da brzo moram izbaciti ovu recenziju jer je ljeto počelo, a vjerujem i da će ju dosta vas rado htjeti pročitati.

Another thing I like is that Biobaza has (some of them) their products in a pretty cardboard boxes. I know that is not that important, but I really appreciate the effort and nicely designed packaging.

So the marmelade comes in a gold - olive - brown box with gold writings, logo and that kind of stuff you usually put on the packaging. The box has a opening on one side so you can see the clear jar and the actual product inside of it. I really like that because the original version of this marmelade that has no glitter you can't actually see without opening the jar and you can't compare them.

I've had this marmelade since last summer and I've used it all the time, every time I was tanning and I have so much left in the jar. Also, it's has been stored in a relatively cold and dark place because it can melt and spill all over.

Još jedna stvar koju volim kod Biobaze je to što (neke) proizvode dodatno zapakiraju u kartonske kutijice. Znam da to nije toliko bitno, ali što mogu kad cijenim trud oko dizajniranja lijepog pakiranja.

Pekmez dolazi u zlatno - maslinasto - smeđoj kutijici za zlatnim natpisima, logom i sličnim stvarčicama koje se već stavljaju na ambalažu. Kako je kutijica otvorena na jednom dijelu, možeš vidjeti posudicu koja je prozirna, te unutra sam proizvod. To je još jedna stvar koja mi se sviđa, s obzirom da klasičnu verziju ovog pekmeza ne možeš vidjeti, a samim time ni usporediti bez da ju otvaraš.

Ovaj pekmez imam već drugu godinu, odnosno, kupila sam ga prošlo ljeto i koristila sam ga često i pri svakom sunčanju, a potrošila sam ga jako malo. Isto tako, čuvala sam ga na ralativno hladnom i mračnom mjestu, s obzirom da se zna otopiti i razlijevati.

Although there are two more versions of this marmelade, the one without glitter and the liquid one, I wanted this particular one because... just because of the glitter! :) It contains olive and calendula oil which make it easy to spread on the skin, and the cocoa seeds powder makes it to have a hard consistency, at least when the temperature is below 30 degrees of Celsius. It also has carrot and rosewood oil that nourish the skin. The glitter particles aren't that visible, but they give a subtle glow to the skin and some of them stay on the skin even after you come out of the water.

Iako postoje još dvije verzije ovog pekmeza, ona obična bež šljokice i tekuća, željela sam baš ovu jer... pa šljokice! :) Sadrži maslinovo i nevenovo ulje radi kojih se lako razmazuje, a kakao maslac ga čini krutim, barem na temperaturama do 30 stupnjeva. Također sadrži i mrkvino i ulje ružinog drveta koja njeguju kožu. Što se tiče šljokica, nisu toliko uočljive na koži, nego više daju suptilni sjaj, a nešto se zadrži na koži i nakon kupanja.

The truth be told, this marmelade doesn't look like the most appealing thing in the world... Actually, it doesn't look that pretty at all, but the one thing that I find very appealing is the scent. It is such a unique and pretty scent, the one that you can't actually describe. It smells herbal, but not like just any herb... Intense, rich, sweet and sour at the same time and is not going to be everyone's favorite. This is the one of the make it or brake it "details" that are going to make you even love or hate the product. The scent stays on the skin for 3 hours after application, so you better make sure you like it and that it doesn't make you puke or cause headache (yes, I've heard that already), because, I repeat, it is a very intense and unique one.

The one thing that some of you may find is a downside it the fact that it does come in a jar, which means you have to grab it with your fingers, and then it gets under your nails, and us women don't really like having junk under our nails. :)

I agree, it would be better if it came in a tube, but I don't mind it that much. When I have long nails, I use them as a little spatula to grab some of the product.

Iskreno, ovaj pekmez ne izgleda kao nešto najprivlačnije na svijetu... Ustvari, uopće ne izgleda privlačno, ali ono što mene osobno privlači je miris. Predivan miris. Miris koji se ne da opisati. Po biljkama, ali ne bilo kojoj biljci... Intenzivan, bogat, slatkasto - kiselkast i nije za svakoga. Ovo je jedna od onih stvari koja čini ili da voliš ili mrziš proizvod. Ostaje na tijelu i do 3 sata nakon nanošenja, pa se pobrini da ti paše i da te ne tjera na povraćanje ili uzrokuje glavobolje (neki kažu da i to), jer, ponavljam, stvarno je intenzivan i poseban.

Jedina stvar koja bi nekima zasmetala je činjenica da je u posudici, što znači da ga moraš vaditi prstima i onda uđe pod nokte, što mi žene ne volimo. :)

Slažem se, bilo bi dobro da je u tubici, ali ne zamjeram mu to. Kad su mi nokti dugački, koristim ih s druge strane, kao malu špatulu kojom zagrabim proizvod.

This is a solid product, but you have take in consideration the conditions in which you will be using it - when it is warm, which means it is good that it is solid; it starts to melt and it is easy to apply. It does leave a greasy feeling, but also the color and the glow on the skin. It isn't actually that dark of a brown color when applied, but more golden, which brings me to the one tiny little thing that (sometimes) bothers me: it can stain the clothes. And the bathing suit and the towel. So I have to be careful which color is my clothes when I do use it although the stains come of easy with a little bit of soap and water. That is why I wouldn't suggest wearing white or any light colored bathing suit when using it because it can look like you had, amm, a little accident. :)

Pekmez je u krutom stanju, ali treba uzeti u obriz vremenske prilike i uvjete u kojima ćeš ga koristiti - kada je toplo; što znači da je dobro što je krući, pa se lagano počne topiti i u dodiru s kožom se lako razmazuje. Ostavlja masni trag, ali i boju i sjaj. Boja nije baš smeđa kao što bi bila na prvi pogled, već zlatna, što me dovodi do jedine male sitnice koja mi (nekada) smeta, a to je da ostavlja mrlje na odjeći. I na kupaćem i na ručniku. Zato pazim koje boje nosim kada ga koristim, iako se mrlje lagano skinu sa malo vode i sapuna. Ono što ne bih preporučila je nošenje kupaćeg bijele ili svijetle boje jer može izgledati kao da si, hm, imala nezgodu. :)

But, does it really make you tan quicker and easier? The answer is yes it does, and the difference is noticable. I don't get tan that quick, but it does stay on the skin for a long time if i take care of my skin (almost until next spring). For example, when using this marmelade, my sking gets as dark as I would get in 40 minutes of laying in the sun in half of that time. So twice as quick. Like I said already, it doesn't have an SPF, so I apply the sunscreen with SPF before each apllication of the marmelade itself. I did try using it without sunscreen just to see the difference and I have to tell you that it didn't show any difference in the intensity nor did it speed up the tanning process. But, I did get more red and burnt without using sunscreen underneath it. Since then, I don't want to take any chances so I use SPF every time.

It nourishes the skin and I noticed that after being in the sea or pool, and after taking a shower, I don't feel the need to put on a body lotion (and usually I always do because my skin is dry).

You can use it in the evening, when you want to have glowy skin and you don't mind the greasy sticky feeling on your skin.

Also, I suggest you wait for some sales which some drugstores here in Croatia have on the sun protection products (sometimes even 30% off). If you did try other two versions of this marmelade, tell me in the comments do you like them.

E sad, da li koža stvarno brže potamni od njega? Da, i razlika je primjetna. Tamnim relativno sporo i brzo pocrvenim, a boja mi se zadržava dugo ako dobro njegujem kožu. Npr., s ovim pekmezom potamnim onoliko koliko bi potamnila u 40ak minuta sunčanja (20 min svaka strana) upola brže. Kako je već napisano, ne sadrži nikakav faktor, odnosno SPF, te obavezno prije nego što ga nanesem, koristim kremu s faktorom. Nekoliko sam puta probala koristiti i bez kreme s faktorom, čisto da vidim razliku sa i bez nje, i moram naglasiti da nisam primijetila da mi je koža potamnila išta brže nego kad koristim kremu, a puno sam više pocrvenila i koža mi je izgorila. Od tada ne riskiram, te uvijek prvo nanosim klasičnu kremu za sunčanje s SPF-om.

Njeguje kožu, te sam primijetila da i nakon kupanja i kasnijeg tuširanja nemam potrebu nanositi losion za tijelo, što inače (kao suhokožac) ne preskačem.

Mogao bi se koristiti i navečer, ako želiš da ti se koža sjaji i ako ti ne smeta taj masni osjećaj na koži.

Predlažem da pričekaš sniženja koja neke drogerije često imaju na proizvode za sunčanje (zna biti i 30% snižen). Isto tako, ako si probala druge dvije verzije ovog pekmeza, napiši mi da li ti se sviđa u komentarima.

Cijena je 90,00kn (12,00€) (250ml), a može se pronaći u drogerijama (Bipa, DM).

Puno privlačnije izgleda zatvoren u ambalaži nego otvoren iz blizu :D :D Inače se čini kao odličan proizvod! A šljokice su stvarno oodlične. Ja sam se za ovo ljeto već opskrbila s L`erbolario pekmezom, tako da možda sljedeće godine isprobam ovo. :)
