Sea Buckthorn Oil
INCI: hippophae rhamnoides oil
Sea buckthorn oil is exceptionally rich in the rare omega-7 (palmitoleic acid), plus omega-3, -6, -9, carotenoids, and vitamin E — a lipid profile that directly feeds barrier repair. Studies support faster wound healing, reduced inflammation, and improved hydration and elasticity. Its deep orange colour (carotenoids) provides antioxidant benefit but can tint skin in pure form; blended or CO2-extract formulas manage this. At 1–5% in serums and balms it revives dry, damaged, or weather-stressed skin. Traditional use across Asia and Northern Europe for radiation and burn recovery underlines its repair credentials. An outstanding night oil for compromised barriers.
