Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a deciduous shrub with yellow/red berries that has been used for many thousands of years. Its Latin name “hippophae” translates as “shiny horse” – as its leaves were used by the ancient Greeks to supplement their race horse food due to their outstanding nutrient content.

Sea Buckthorn Oil is obtained from the plant's berries. It is an excellent anti-ageing oil and contains over 190 health-promoting bio-active substances, including a high concentration (up to 40%) of Omega 7 (Palmitoleic acid) – an essential fatty acid vital for collagen production and healthy, skin, hair and nails. It is also rich in Omegas 3, 6 and 9, folic acid, and fat soluble vitamins – A, K, E, C, B1 and B2. This amazing oil is also one of the richest natural sources of beta-carotene (Vitamin A), which gives the oil its orange colour - Vitamin A helps to heal damaged skin, promote cellular growth and reduce the signs of ageing.  

Sea Buckthorn is beneficial for all skin types but is particularly suited to dry, mature, damaged and sun burnt skin. It penetrates deep within the skin’s lipid layers to nourish, hydrate and supports the skin’s healing process from within - helping to restore elasticity, firmness and promote younger, healthier looking skin. Its antioxidant powers also help to protect the skin from damaging free radicals - one of the major causes of premature ageing.

In addition to the above, Sea Buckthorn has anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties that can be beneficial in treating skin irritations and acne. It is also believed to accelerate wound repair and reduce scarring.

Note: Whilst the oil can be applied neat to the skin it is best diluted as it can ‘discolour’ the skin if applied in a high concentration. We recommend diluting it at between 2-5% to get all therapeutic benefits whilst avoiding any discolouration of the skin.
