The extensive nutrient portfolio of Sea Buckthorn
primarily found on a shrub grown in asia & europe, medicinal uses of sea buckthorn oil for health, skin and hair go back many centuries.
The nutrient portfolio of the sea buckthorn plant that makes it such a beneficial and powerful booster for the skin. Sometimes known as the “wonder plant” due to its wide usage in the food, medicinal and pharmaceutical fields, sea buckthorn contains 190 nutrients and phytonutrients!
Here’s a spotlight on this mighty booster oil’s main benefits, based on it’s most beneficial active nutrients and skin types -
Acne Prone Skin
Sea buckthorn’s vitamin C content is 12 times higher than that of an orange. This high concentration of vitamin C is immensely beneficial for acne prone skin.
For acne, scarring, and pigmentation, vitamin C can drastically reduce skin inflammation. What this means is that it can heal acne as well as fade scars and pigmentation by inhibiting melanin production. What’s more, because it is a natural oil, sea buckthorn will heal acne prone skin without drying out or irritating skin like some retinoids or acne treatments.
Mature Skin
The high concentration of vitamin C also means sea buckthorn oil has the brilliant ability to boost collagen production. This helps plump, firm, and smooth skin, effectively targeting skin ageing concerns such as sagging, wrinkles, fine lines and textured or rough skin.
Powerful antioxidants such as carotenoids, tocopherol and lycopene are also present extensively in sea buckthorn oil. Fun fact: carotenoids, a type of antioxidant that produces bright yellow, orange colours in plants, vegetables and fruits is where sea buckthorn oil gets its deep orange colour from.
Antioxidants work to neutralise free radicals. This prevents them from causing oxidative damage from age and our skin’s exposure to environmental factors. This not only makes sea buckthorn an amazing booster to reduce signs of ageing, but also brightens dull skin by preventing our skin’s melanin production from being triggered due to excess exposure to the sun.
Dry Skin
Another extremely beneficial skin loving ingredient are fatty acids. Omega 3, 6 and 9 can all be found in sea buckthorn. The oil also one of the few plant sources that contain an exceptionally high content of omega 7, excellent for skin repair and regeneration processes. These fatty acids are especially beneficial for dry skin as they provide the skin with a surge of hydration, helping you achieve that plump, glowy look.
Oily Skin
Topical usage of facial oils are generally known to help balance skin’s hydration and oil. While sea buckthorn oil does not directly help reduce sebum production for oily skin types, it can still provide beneficial nutrition that can improve and enhance overall skin health.
The nutrients highlighted in this article are just a few of many that make up sea buckthorn oil’s impressive portfolio. Vitamins B1, B2, K, A, and E, folic acid, an array of powerful antioxidants and minerals are all actives present in sea buckthorn oil. Regardless of skin type, sea buckthorn is a multifaceted plant oil that works to boost your skin health to the next level.
