Sea Buckthorn Oil
Sea buckthorn oil is a vibrant orange-red oil packed with antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamins that nourishes and protects skin and hair. Popular in natural beauty products, it helps restore moisture and gives a healthy glow without feeling greasy.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, sea buckthorn oil is valued for its rich content of omega-3, -6, -7 and -9 fatty acids together with high levels of vitamin C, vitamin E and carotenoids. It absorbs well into the skin, helping to replenish the lipid barrier, support natural moisture retention and impart a radiant finish in facial oils, creams, serums and hair treatments.
