Description

Our Seabuckthorn Seed Oil is extracted from the seeds of the Seabuckthorn  berries, Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil has been used for centuries to promote wound healing, cell rejuvenation and anti-ageing. It is renowned for its anti-aging and  skin healing benefits. Sea buckthorn repairs oxidative damage and has wonderful anti-aging properties.

There are two types of Sea Buckthorn Oil that can be extracted from the plant, namely fruit oil and seed oil. The fruit oil is derived from the fleshy berries, while the seed oil is extracted from the small seeds of the nutrient rich berries that grow on the plant. Both oils have a difference in terms of appearance and consistency. Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil is a dark red or orange-red color, and has a thick consistency (it is liquid at room temperature, but becomes much thicker if refrigerated), whereas, the Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil is a pale yellow or orange in color and more fluid (does not solidify under refrigeration). They both offer fantastic skin benefits.
