A Short
Introduction
Sea Buckthorn oil is produced by the
cold pressing of the entire fruiting body that this small shrub
produces. A small layer of oil is isolated within a vat of pressed
material which is then vacuumed off and separated as "pure oil".
This helps to explain the requirement of upwards to 10 pounds of
berries to produce 1 pound of oil.
This marvelous oil has
copious amounts of Phytosterol, Vitamin E, Beta-Carotene,
Anti-Oxidants, and Carotenoid which helps to substantiate its
relatively high success rate as a skin repairing and conditioning
oil.
Sea Buckthorn has been traditionally used for a wide range
of skin ailments for its revered nourishing, regenerative, and
restorative actions. Sea Buckthorn oil is used superficially to
assist in healing skin injuries, burns, wounds, eczema, lesions, sun
damaged skin, and abrasions. Current studies are being performed on
its ability to combat wrinkles, acute dryness and other symptoms of
prematurely aged skin.
This deep colored oil is obtained from
the whole berries of the scrubby brush Hippophae Rhamnoides
which is a native to Russia, and northern parts of China and
Mongolia, and produces a thick, red/orange oil with the consistency
and viscosity of syrup.
Medicinal
Use

treatment, recent findings and further studies have substantiated

supplement It has shown to help promote healthy blood circulation,
