What Is Sea Buckthorn Oil?
Despite the name, sea buckthorn does not come from the sea. Sea buckthorn (Hippophaes rhamnoides), also called a Siberian pineapple, is a flowering shrub or tree that produces berries which can be cold pressed into pulp or an oil. The plant grows in Europe, the Caucasus, Asia Minor and Central Asia, Siberia, China, and Tibet.
It has been found that sea buckthorn plant berries carry 10 times more Vitamin C than an orange and are the third-highest source of Vitamin E among plants.
Rich in antioxidants: If you’re looking to fight those pesky free radicals, sea buckthorn oil is worth adding to your routine. It is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, both alpha- and beta-carotene, vitamins B1, B2, and B6, vitamin E, fatty acids and flavonoids, Omega 3, 6, 9 and rarest Omega 7 and about 190 bioactive compounds.Potentially anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-psoriatic: Studies are ongoing, but preliminary research suggests that sea buckthorn oil potentially has antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-actinic, and anti-psoriatic properties.
