Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil
Sea Buckthorn Fruit (Hippophae rhamnoides) Oil is at the top of my list of reparative botanical oils for preventing dryness and smoothing fine lines. This bright orange berry contains over 190 bioactive compounds, including vitamins C, E, A, B1, B2, B12, fatty acids (omega-3, 6, 7, 9), antioxidants, carotenoids, and phytosterols.
The tiny seeds of the berries contain oils that penetrate the skin’s lipid layer, protecting collagen fibers and cell membranes while supporting skin tissue regeneration. This makes it an excellent remedy to accelerate healing of wounds, scars, and burns. The oil also reduces redness, inflammation, and water loss in skin cells, making it soothing for acne and eczema.
Another quality I personally love about sea buckthorn fruit is its ability to harmonize the skin before and after sun exposure, acting as a light, natural sunscreen. As a sun worshipper, this is a true blessing. I have carefully formulated it into my Rose Dew Face Serum.
