Sea buckthorn fruit oil, certified organic

Sea buckthorn fruit oil, certified organic

Organic, cold‑pressed virgin sea buckthorn fruit oil is extracted from the bright orange berries of the Hippophae rhamnoides shrub. This oil is distinctly different from sea buckthorn seed oil, as it is pressed from the fruit rather than the seeds, resulting in a richer concentration of carotenoids, giving it a deep orange colour. Undiluted, this vibrant pigment can stain skin and clothing, making it a potent addition to formulations that require careful blending. Traditionally used in skincare, sea buckthorn fruit oil is appreciated for its nutrient‑dense profile and has become a valued ingredient in modern beauty formulations.

Sea buckthorn fruit oil vs. Sea buckthorn seed oil

Both sea buckthorn fruit oil and sea buckthorn seed oil are highly valued for their unique properties, but they differ in composition and usage.

• Fruit oil has a deep orange colour due to its high carotenoid content and is often used in small amounts in skincare formulations to enhance nourishment and radiance.
• Seed oil is lighter in colour and contains a well-balanced blend of essential fatty acids, making it a more versatile option for everyday skincare and haircare products.

Each oil offers distinct benefits, and the choice between them depends on the desired formulation and personal preference.

Skincare Uses

Nutrient‑rich composition: Sea buckthorn fruit oil contains a remarkably high concentration of vitamin A, carotenes, tocopherols (vitamin E), and flavonoids, making it a sought‑after ingredient in skincare formulations.

Deeply coloured and potent: Due to its intense orange hue, this oil is typically used in small amounts and blended with other carrier oils to avoid staining the skin.

Moisturising and revitalising: Frequently found in facial serums and creams, it is often included in formulations designed to support a nourished, radiant complexion.

Haircare Uses

Rich in essential fatty acids: The berries provide a unique combination of fatty acids, making this oil a popular addition to scalp and hair treatments where deep conditioning is desired.

Enhances shine: Sea buckthorn fruit oil is sometimes included in haircare formulations to help improve hair texture and add a natural radiance.

Additional Uses

Ideal for custom formulations: Sea buckthorn fruit oil is commonly used in DIY skincare and haircare products in small percentages due to its strong pigmentation and concentrated nutrient profile.

Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known allergies or skin sensitivities.
