Botanical Name: Hippophae rhamnoides Extraction Method:
Pulp Extraction 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. The pulp extraction method involves macerating the sea buckthorn fruit to produce juice which is then placed in a centrifuge to make the pulp oil. The resulting oil contains high concentration of vitamins, carotenoids, tocopherols and saturated fatty acids. The pulpy fruit of the sea buckthorn contains approximately 29%-48% of oil. This extraction method significantly improves both the yields and nutrients obtained from the fruit.
Color: Reddish brown Aromatic Description: Sea Buckthorn has very little scent characteristic of most carrier oils.
Common Uses: Pulp extracted sea buckthorn oil contains a high level of carotenoids, which has beta carotene as its main component, and provides natural UV protection for the skin.

Sea buckthorn oil works wonderful as part of a massage blend and 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 salves & balms.
