Sea Buckthorn Oil

Sea Buckthorn oil has been used for centuries to promote wound healing, cell rejuvenation and anti-ageing.

Containing 30% palmitoleic acid, high levels of vitamins A & E and other Bio-active substances, Sea Buckthorn provides effective protection against free radicals and ageing of the skin. It is a nourishing, revitalising and restorative oil.

It also partially shields the skin’s surface from the sun’s UV rays, acting as a low-level sunblock. For this reason it is a useful addition to suncare products.

Be careful when applying this oil to the skin, though - its high concentration of carotenoids can tint the skin to a light orange colour if it is used heavily.

Because of the oil's high concentration of vitamins that enhance skin growth, it is excellent for healing scars, burns, and wounds such as cuts and scrapes.

Additonally, its anti-inflammatory agents help to heal skin conditions such as acne, ecezma, and dermatitis.
