Sea Buckthorn Carrier Oil - CO2 Extracted
|
Botanical Name: Hippophae rhamnoides
Extraction Method:
CO2
Description: Sea Buckthorn oil (Hippophae Rhamnoides) is a spiny shrub or tree with bright red or yellow berries native to Europe and the northern regions of Asia. These berries are said to be the single highest source of vitamin C, vitamin E, unsaturated fatty acids, essential amino acids, and beta-carotene which gives them their bright color. Because of this, the essential oil is well known for it’s use on the skin.
Aromatherapists have credited it with reducing wrinkles, regenerating skin cells, and for promoting the healing of skin
injuries such as burns, sunburns, wounds and eczema. You will also see it in many skin care products such as creams and
lotions.
Color: Golden Yellow to Light Brown
Aromatic Description: Sea Buckthorn has very little scent characteristic of most carrier oils.
Common Uses: It is reputed to be one of the best sources of natural antioxidants due to the high content of Vitamin C. Anti-oxidants like vitamin E and beta-carotene effectively combat wrinkles, dryness, and other symptoms of dry, aged skin. This oil can also be used promote healing of burns, eczema, radiation injury ulcers and small cuts or wounds. This healing effect is due to the beta-carotene (pro-vitamin-A) that is in Sea-Buckthorn oil. In addition, the UV-spectrum of the oil shows a moderate absorption in the UV-B range which makes sea-buckthorn derived products attractive for sun care cosmetics.
Sea Buckthorn is a fantastic choice as part of a massage blend, an aromatherapy blend, and in all types of manufacturing. Please note if used in massages, Sea Buckthorn oil will stain the skin.
Sea Buckthorn oil is a key ingredient in many different products such as lotions, ant-aging cream, make-up remover, shower & bath gel, shampoos, face mask, sunscreen products and various balms.

Characteristic of Carrier Oils.

Sea Buckthorn lives up to its description. After my mother spent 6 weeks in the hospital after heart valve surgery, her face was dry and leathery. I made a cosmetic cream using several butters from New Directions and a generous dose of Sea Buckthorn. The ravishes of hospital stay and medications were erased from her face shortly after using this precious oil. I also use this and keep middle age at bay. 54 and no lines and wrinkles!
