Whatsapp Order

Sea Buckthorn Oil is a vibrant orange-red oil extracted primarily from the berries (and sometimes seeds) of Hippophae rhamnoides, a hardy shrub native to the coastal and mountainous regions of Europe and Asia. Renowned for its rich composition of essential fatty acids (including omega-3, 6, 7, and 9), carotenoids, vitamins (notably vitamin C and E), flavonoids, and antioxidants, Sea Buckthorn Oil is prized for its regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties. It has a distinctive fruity, slightly tart aroma and is valued in traditional medicine for skin healing, immune support, and cardiovascular health.

In modern applications, Sea Buckthorn Oil is a sought-after ingredient in high-performance skincare, nutraceuticals, hair care, and therapeutic formulations. It also finds uses in dietary supplements and functional foods for its nutrient-dense profile.
