Description – Sea buckthorn oil is a red–orange oil derived from sea buckthorn plants. The most commonly used species for this purpose is Hippophae rhamnoides. Species belonging to this genus accumulate lipids in the mesocarp (the fruit pulp), so the oil can be extracted from either the seeds or the pulp.
Application – In herbal medicine, sea buckthorn has long been used to stimulate the digestive system, enhance heart and liver health, and treat skin disorders. Sea buckthorn oil has gained popularity as an ingredient in skin-care products for topical applications. It is used to moisturize the skin, ease irritation, treat acne and heal aging-related damage.
