Sea buckthorn is a small fruit that grows in the Himalayas at 12,000 above sea level. The oil extracted from the seed is seriously powerful stuff. It’s packed with the stuff our skin needs to look glowing including omegas 3, 6 and 9. Omega is an essential fatty acid vital to the collagen production for healthy skin, hair and nails.
When applied directly to skin the oil prevents wrinkles and has a great anti-aging effect. The oil absorbs directly into skin but doesn’t dry out like other products or lotions. You can also run it through your damp hair or rub it into cuticles to repair damage.
The only downside is that your skin will get a slight orange tint to it if you use it heavily. It works great as a natural bronzer but for those with fair skin proceed with caution as you don’t want to end up looking like this:
