September 15, 2022

There’s a very special, yellow-red berry that is so bursting in nutrients we simply have to tell you all about it!

Sea buckthorn berries are tiny and found on small bushes that thrive in the mountainous regions of Europe and Asia.

Their nutrient content has made them a highly popular skincare ingredient but you can eat them too!

Or why not try this delicious drink recipe!

Their nutrient profile is impressive, as they contain every single omega fatty acid, along with a potent blend of antioxidants, flavonoids, 190+ phytonutrients, polyphenols, vitamins B1, B2, K, C, A, and E, folic acid, and other minerals.

Did you know that their Vitamin C content is higher than oranges, carrots and tomatoes?! Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant vitamin that helps to fight inflammation, boost collagen for younger-looking skin and promote a radiant glow! It’s one vitamin we recommend in every skin care ritual and by including Sea Buckthorn in your daily routine, you can rest assured that your skin is receiving top quality, high concentrations of this beauty vitamin.

What can sea buckthorn do for my skin?

Sea buckthorn is a hit with all skin types, from parched and dry to oily and troubled! It truly is an oil that can benefit all skin types and it is multi-purpose too!

It helps to boost hydration and prevent moisture loss through the pores while helping to repair oxidative damage (hello there, youthful, luminous skin!) You’ll never go back to conventional moisturizer again after trying this nutrient-dense and deeply nourishing oil for yourself.

For our babes who deal with blemishes, sea buckthorn will help to fight inflammation and calm down redness (this is where Vitamin C works its magic) as well as help to balance excess oil.

In fact, sea buckthorn signals to the pores to stop producing excess oil, decongesting the pores and helping to soothe.

Problem skin will soon become a thing of the past for you!

Your hair loves it too!

The fatty acids naturally present in sea buckthorn make it a hit with your strands too! Simply massage a few drops in the mid-lengths to ends of dry hair to seal splits and to provide a lustrous, bouncy shine.

You could also massage some directly into your scalp the night before you need to wash your hair for a truly luxurious hair treatment that will fight dandruff and leave your hair happy and healthy.

Verdict

This little berry helps skin repair from scarring, sun damage, and also helps to boost collagen production. You can expect fewer lines and wrinkles, enhanced skin elasticity, reduced puffiness, eye bags and also dark circles. Of course, your hair loves it too, making it a must have multi-purpose gem!
