In Appreciation Of | Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil
Containing an impressive amount of nutrients, this little pearl-shaped, orange berry (native to Europe and Asia) really packs a punch. We are also told by Plimon (raw material supplier) that the oil also has the ability to absorb UV rays and astronauts use it to avoid suffering radiation burns whilst working in outer-space. That's impressive.
Lets outline the vast benefits of Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil:
Anti-ageing:
Sea Buckthorn oil is naturally abundant in antioxidants, including Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and carotenoids. These antioxidants protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can accelerate ageing. The oil also contains Palmitoleic Acid (the highest of any fruit oil), which helps to stimulate collagen synthesis and improve elasticity helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Moisturising:
Sea Buckthorn oil is a wonderful hydrator. High in complex lipids making Sea Buckthorn exceptionally hydrating and nourishing. It contains omega-7 fatty acids, which can help to keep the skin soft and supple.
Anti-inflammatory:
Sea Buckthorn oil has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to soothe irritated skin. The oil contains Beta-Sitosterol (a fatty acid derived from plants), which will help to reduce redness and inflammation. This makes it particularly useful to help treat skin concerns such as eczema or psoriasis.
Wound healing:
Hailed as a holy fruit of the Himalayas, Sea Buckthorn oil has been used for more than 1000 years to treat wounds and burns. The oil is rich in vitamin E, which can help to promote cell regeneration and reduce scarring.
Anti-oxidative:
Due to a high amount of Vitamins A, E, C, carotenoids, as well as omega 3,6,7 and 9, offer a balanced composition of fatty acids to help protect the cells from damage caused by oxidation.
