Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil
Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil is a vibrant orange-red oil packed with antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamins. Popular in natural skincare, it nourishes and helps protect the skin’s barrier while delivering a healthy glow. It is cold-pressed from the berries and seeds of the sea buckthorn plant.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, organic sea buckthorn oil functions as an emollient and antioxidant-rich active. Its high content of omega-3, -6, -7 and -9 fatty acids, along with natural vitamin E and carotenoids, helps replenish lipids, support the skin’s moisture barrier and defend against environmental stressors. The bright colour comes from beta-carotene and other plant pigments that give many balms, facial oils and creams a natural golden tint while contributing to a radiant finish.
