Sea Buckthorn oil: A Natural Source of Vitamins and Antioxidants

The Sea Buckthorn berry is one of the most nutrient-dense botanicals in the world. Its oil houses over 190 bioactive compounds, making it a powerhouse botanical for skin health and restoration.

It contains Vitamin A (beta carotene) for radiance and healthy cell turnover, Vitamin K to help calm visible redness and promote an even tone, as well as antioxidants Vitamins E and C. 

A unique balance of fatty acids for skin resilience

Sea Buckthorn fruit oil contains Omega-7 (palmitoleic acid)—a deeply regenerating fatty acid scarcely found in plant oils. Its full spectrum also includes Omega 6, which supports barrier repair and softness, and Omega 9.

This unique fatty acid composition—especially Omega-7—makes Sea Buckthorn fruit oil a deeply restorative ingredient that enhances firmness, suppleness, and overall radiance, particularly for mature, stressed, or dull skin.

Understanding the two types of Sea Buckthorn oil

While Sea Buckthorn oil is often spoken about as a single ingredient, there are actually two distinct types—seed oil and fruit (pulp) oil—each offering their own unique benefits.

Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil: It's a light yellow to pale orange oil, with a fatty acid composition best suitable for sensitive, compromised, inflamed, or barrier-damaged skin. It's rich in Omega 3and Omega 6 fatty acids that reduce inflammation, thus soothing a compromised or damaged skin barrier.

Sea Buckthorn Fruit/Berry/Pulp Oil: It's a deep orange to bright red oil, with a fruity, sweet scent. It's ideal to restore radiance to mature skin, improve dullness, and regenerate skin. Being exceptionally high in carotenoids (beta carotene, lycopene), which give the rich orange hue + strong brightening action, Sea Buckthorn berry oil is also higher in Vitamin C and Vitamin E, and of course Omega 7. These compounds help visibly brighten and even skin tone, support collagen, plumpness, and skin regeneration. 

We intentionally choose the berry oil for its unmatched ability to nourish, brighten, and deliver that warm, sun-kissed glow naturally.
