Sea Buckthorn Oil
Sea Buckthorn Oil
A vivid, deep-orange oil pressed from sea buckthorn berries — one of the rare plant sources of omega-7, brimming with carotenoids and vitamins, with a powerful regenerating and protective reputation. Hover any measure to see where sea buckthorn sits on the scale.
What it is
Sea buckthorn oil is pressed from the bright orange berries of a hardy Eurasian shrub. The fruit oil is famously one of very few plant sources of omega-7 (palmitoleic acid), and it's intensely rich in carotenoids and vitamins.
That makeup gives it a strong regenerating, protective reputation for dry, mature and stressed skin. Its deep colour can temporarily tint skin, so it's almost always used in small, well-diluted amounts.

How we use it
Sea buckthorn is a potent, vivid active — we use it in small, well-diluted amounts where a blend wants its omega-7 and antioxidant power.
Because its deep colour can tint skin, a little is layered into treatment blends rather than used as a base.
