Sea Buckthorn Oil

What is Sea Buckthorn Oil?

Sea buckthorn oil is like nature's vibrant repair kit for your skin. This striking orange-red oil, pressed from the berries and seeds of the sea buckthorn shrub, gets its rich color from an exceptional concentration of carotenoids—higher than almost any other plant on earth.

Imagine each drop of this oil as a tiny treasure chest packed with nutrients: omega fatty acids (including rare omega-7), vitamins A, C, and E, and numerous antioxidants. What makes sea buckthorn truly special is its unique fatty acid profile—it contains all four omega fatty acids (3, 6, 7, and 9), making it a complete nourishment package for your skin.

For damaged or compromised skin, sea buckthorn oil works like a dedicated restoration team, simultaneously hydrating, soothing inflammation, supporting barrier repair, and protecting against further damage. It's particularly effective for conditions where the skin barrier is impaired, like eczema, rosacea, or extreme dryness.

Despite its rich nutrient density, the oil absorbs surprisingly well, leaving skin nourished rather than greasy. Its vibrant color may temporarily give skin a slight orange tint, but this fades quickly—a small price to pay for its remarkable healing properties.
