Description
This oil is pressed from the sea buckthorn fruit which gives it a deep orange colour. Undiluted this colour can stain skin and clothes.
Sea buckthorn oil is an orangey-red oil used in anti-ageing and medicinal skincare products, and has nourishing, revitalising, and restorative functions.
The berries appear to be an unsurpassed natural source of vitamin A and several other carotenes, vitamin E and several other tocopherols. They are also rich in several other vitamins, including B1, B2, K and P as well as in numerous flavonoids. The berries have a remarkably high content of essential fatty acids and phytosterols.
