This formulation contains 100% pure Sea-Buckthorn Fruit oil that is sustainably-sourced organic unrefined & virgin in origin. This exceptional Sea-Buckthorn Fruit oil is derived from the pulp of the Sea-Buckthorn berry. This oil contains a high concentration of rare palmitoleic acid (Omega 7) for nourishing & protecting the skin. It also offers other fatty acids like palmitic acid stearic acid oleic acid linolenic acid & linoleic acid as well as antioxidants like tocopherol (Vitamin E) carotenoids & lycopene that all help to protect the skin from free radical damage & to maintain the skin’s normal barrier function. Notes: Supplied in UV-protective packaging. Our Sea-Buckthorn Fruit oil is completely unrefined & imparts a natural scent due to its high palmitoleic acid (Omega-7) content. This scent is not an indication of rancidity. Sea-Buckthorn Fruit oil that does not have scent is likely to have been highly refined & therefore would contain less active compounds & would likely offer impaired benefits. The formula's intense natural orange-red hue is due to its high carotenoids & lycopene content. After application the colour of this oil will remain on your skin until it is washed off. Please use a very small amount or dilute with other products for easier application.
