Organic unrefined sea buckthorn oil is an incredibly healing, regenerative, and fast-penetrating oil with a deep reddish orange color. It contains numerous bioactive ingredients including unsaturated fatty acids (omega-3, 6, 7), flavonoids, vitamins A, C, E, and K, and phytosterols which make it an exceptional addition to reparative and antiaging skincare products. The omegas 3, 6, and 7 in sea buckthorn oil work synergistically to encourage skin cell regeneration, reduce trans-epidermal water loss (thus keeping skin hydrated and supple), reduce inflammation induced by UV radiation, and accelerate the healing of burns and wounds. Topical application of sea buckthorn oil also helps to improve blood circulation, skin oxygenation, and collagen production which work to liven up, tighten, and repair aging skin. The antioxidants present in sea buckthorn oil (vitamins A, C, E, and K) also promote anti-aging: vitamin A works to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging; vitamin C, which is 15 times higher in sea buckthorn oil than in oranges, helps to gently exfoliate the skin, remove dead skin cells, even skin tone, and protect against harmful UVA and UVB radiation; vitamin E encourages moisture retention and provides UV filtration; and vitamin K helps to suppress pigmentation, improve dark spots, and assist the healing of wounds. Finally, the phytosterols in sea buckthorn oil also support anti-aging by promoting skin barrier recovery; a healthy skin barrier is necessary to prevent the penetration of environmental toxins and water loss from skin.

As far as haircare is concerned, the same healing, reparative, oxygenation, and moisture retention effects of sea buckthorn oil on the skin are also true for the scalp. Additionally, sea buckthorn oil helps to support the recovery of damaged hair by strengthening the hair and restoring elasticity; it also helps to prevent hair loss and encourage growth by promoting blood circulation on the scalp and encouraging the regeneration of hair follicles. Finally, the lecithin in sea buckthorn oil helps in the removal of excess sebum from the hair.

Other details: Sea buckthorn oil is a concentrated oil with the tendency to stain, so we recommend that it is diluted with other carrier oils.
