WHAT IS SEA BUCKTHORN OIL?

Sea buckthorn oil is extracted from the fruit berries, seeds, and leaves of the sea buckthorn shrub, Hippophae Rhamnoides. This enormous, thorny shrub grows in the Himalayan region and is sometimes referred to as their holy fruit. It is a plant rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and lots of nutrients. However, harvesting these berries in cold climates can be a difficult task.

Once processed, this pure natural oil has a deep, red colour with a strong but not overbearing smell. Virgin sea buckthorn oil contains valuable ingredients that make it suitable for the skin and body and is non-toxic.

SEA BUCKTHORN OIL BENEFITS

SEA BUCKTHORN OIL FOR SKIN CARE

The many nutrients, fats, and vitamins such as omega-7 and omega-3, present in sea buckthorn oil generally boost skin health when applied directly to the skin.

Sea buckthorn oil is one of the few known oils that contains all four types of omega fatty acids such as omega-3, omega-6, omega-7 and omega-9. It helps keep your skin from visible signs of cracking or wrinkling, making it a good pick for anyone who is dealing with extremely dehydrated skin.

Sea buckthorn oil is used extensively in the cosmetics industry due to its balanced combination of fatty acids and vitamins. Again, for emphasis, it is an effective oil used to help reduce the visible signs of dry or ageing skin. In addition to this, the anti-bacterial properties of sea buckthorn oil work by helping to prevent the spread of bacteria if there is contamination.

What are the other uses for Seabuckthorn Oil?

Sea buckthorn oil is a powerhouse ingredient used in a lot of beauty and personal grooming essentials. Here are simple recipes for various face, hair and body care products:

Body and cleansing oil — Fill a 60ml glass bottle about 3/4 of the way with jojoba oil and the remaining 1/4 with fractionated coconut oil as your base. Then, add 15 to 20 drops of buckthorn oil. Next, include three to four drops of lavender essential oil for a calming scent, and five to seven drops of grapefruit oil to invigorate and brighten. Once everything is combined, give your bottle a good swirl to blend the oils thoroughly. Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before using any new oils. Discard any unused portions within a few weeks.

Facial cream — For normal to dry skin types, melt 15 g of organic unrefined shea butter and 10 g of mango butter until fully liquefied. Then, stir in 15 ml of jojoba oil, 10 ml of sea buckthorn oil and 5 ml of sweet almond oil. Once smooth, add 5 drops of natural vitamin E oil and mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well blended. Pour into sterilised containers and let cool completely before sealing. Discard any unused portions within a few weeks.

Facial oil — Blend 5 ml sea buckthorn oil, 15 ml rosehip seed oil, 20 ml sweet almond oil, 2–3 drops each of lavender, frankincense and geranium essential oils, 2 drops patchouli oil and 5 ml vitamin E oil in a sterilised bottle. Use this lightweight oil in place of your usual moisturiser — simply apply four to seven drops to freshly cleansed and toned skin morning and night. Be sparing with the amount; a little goes a long way and using too much may leave your skin feeling too oily. Discard any unused portions within a few weeks.

Hair treatment — For a hair-strengthening treatment, blend equal parts of sea buckthorn oil and pomegranate seed oil. Gently massage the mixture on hair and let it sit for about an hour. Then, rinse thoroughly with shampoo.

Moisturiser — Melt 5 ml sea buckthorn seed oil, 10 ml rosehip oil and 15 g shea butter. Add 2–3 drops each of lavender, bergamot and spearmint oils, then whisk in 1 tsp arrowroot starch and 3–5 drops of Styrax Benzoin oil. Pour into a sterilised container and refrigerate for one hour to set. Discard any unused portions within a few weeks.

Serum — Combine 5 mL sea buckthorn oil, 15 mL safflower oil, 10 mL jojoba oil and 10 mL evening primrose oil. Blend thoroughly, then transfer the oil serum into a sterilised pipette bottle for use. Discard any unused portions within a few weeks.
