Everyone has skin problems, whether dry, oily, sensitive, or combination skin. In daily life, skin conditions will inevitably arise due to unstable weather or consuming too much oily or salty food recently.
Seeing a dermatologist, taking medication, and adjusting your diet are still a long way from "good skin." Just as the body needs good fats, the skin also needs to absorb good fats. Therefore, we need sea buckthorn seed oil.
What are the benefits of Sea Buckthorn?
In addition to its high Vitamin C content, sea buckthorn fruit also contains SOD, which is important for the human body and has antioxidant effects, as well as the unsaturated fatty acid Omega-7, which offers strong protective benefits for the skin and digestive tract. Extracted sea buckthorn fruit oil is a very well-known "good oil" in the nutrition world:
-Promotes collagen formation and helps wound healing.
-Contains multiple amino acids, vitamins, trace elements, unsaturated fatty acids, SOD, and other highly nutritious natural ingredients, radiating healthy skin glow from the inside out.
-Also improves sleep quality and helps maintain youthful, anti-aging skin.
What's the difference between Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil and Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil?
Sea buckthorn fruit oil is extracted from the pulp of the fruit. Its Omega-7 content is higher, as are its Vitamin C and carotenoid levels. Therefore, it performs more outstandingly in skin repair, moisturizing, promoting collagen formation, and enhancing skin defense.
Sea buckthorn seed oil is mainly extracted from the seeds of sea buckthorn. It is rich in Omega-3, 6, 9, and Vitamin E, leaning more towards antioxidant benefits and promoting skin and blood cell health.

Facial care
-As a pre-essence oil / serum oil:After cleansing your face, either before or after toner, take 2-3 drops of sea buckthorn seed oil in your palm, gently rub to warm it, then lightly press or spread it over your entire face and neck. As a pre-essence oil, it helps soften the cuticles and enhances the absorption of subsequent skincare products; as a serum oil, it deeply moisturizes and repairs the skin, providing antioxidant protection.
-Mixing with toner/serum/lotion/cream:Add 1-2 drops of sea buckthorn seed oil to your daily toner, serum, lotion, or cream, mix evenly in your palm, and then apply to your face. This increases the moisturizing and repairing effects of skincare products, especially suitable for dry, sensitive, or dehydrated skin. Oily skin types can appropriately reduce the amount used.
-Facial massage oil:Take 3-5 drops of sea buckthorn seed oil in your palm and gently massage your entire face, from the inside out and from bottom to top. You can especially focus on fine lines around the eyes and lips.
Deeply nourishes, promotes blood circulation, and enhances skin radiance and elasticity. It is particularly effective for mature skin or skin in need of deep repair.
-Targeted intensive repair:For areas that are particularly dry, peeling, red, or prone to acne, apply a small amount of sea buckthorn seed oil by gently dabbing and massaging until absorbed. The repairing and anti-inflammatory properties of sea buckthorn seed oil help soothe skin discomfort and promote localized repair.
-Lip and eye area care:Use fingertips to take a very small amount of sea buckthorn seed oil and gently apply it to dry lips or fine lines around the eyes. For oily skin, it is recommended to reduce the amount or mix it with a refreshing toner. Sea buckthorn seed oil is also suitable for facial massage, providing deep nourishment, promoting blood circulation, and enhancing skin radiance and elasticity, especially with noticeable effects on mature skin, and can be used with massage tools. For particularly dry, peeling, red, or acne-prone areas, a small amount can be applied topically to soothe discomfort and promote repair. Sea buckthorn seed oil can also be used for lip and eye area care to provide additional moisture to delicate skin.
