How to Use Sea Buckthorn Oil

Sea buckthorn offers a variety of vitamins and minerals and all omega fatty acids, including the rare omega 7. It contains over 190 total bioactive nutrients and an array of antioxidants.

When taken as a nutritional supplement, it offers comprehensive support in many areas of health from the inside out. Internal use also supports healthy skin and beauty.

Sea buckthorn oil comes in two varieties- berry or seed oil and each have their own benefits.

Vitamins and minerals are distributed throughout sea buckthorn plants. This means that each part of the plant has different health properties.

The plant as a whole is so nutritious that everything from the bark to the leaves are used in different forms. Our focus is the fruit and seeds of the plant which we use to make sea buckthorn oil.

Sea Buckthorn Berry vs Seed Oil Benefits

Berry Oil

The berry oil is loaded with omega 7, which makes it perfect for boosting the moisture and health of the skin. You might choose to use the berry oil on your skin if you are suffering from chronic dryness.

If your skin is scarred from acne or other reasons, omega 7 can help break down the scar tissue. For scars, massage the oil into the affected areas to help break down the tissue.

To help fight scars before they even happen and promote healing, add a drop of sea buckthorn oil to cuts and burns (after sanitizing). Weekly treatments with sea buckthorn berry oil may help balance out skin that is dry in some areas and oily in others.

Overall, it's great for helping nourish skin that is effected by issues like psoriasis, eczema, or acne.

The berry oil makes a great weekly treatment mask. We created a guide to show you the best way to do a sea buckthorn berry oil mask here.

Seed Oil

Sea buckthorn seed oil is high in Omega 3 and antioxidants. Because it’s a much lighter color oil than sea buckthorn berry oil, it makes a great daily treatment for the skin.

Seed oil also absorbs much more quickly than sea buckthorn berry oil. Since this oil is also rich in fatty acids, it’s great for moisturizing the skin.

Because of its antioxidant content, it can also be good for hyper-pigmentation and wrinkles.

After washing your face, add a drop or two to your fingertips and massage into your face and neck. The oil will act as a serum and deliver nutrients into the deeper layers of your skin.

Add a layer of facial cream to seal in moisture throughout the day or let the oil soak into the skin for 20 minutes before cleansing face to wash away excess oil.

Don’t be afraid to mix sea buckthorn oils! They work great together and play well with other carrier oils. Experiment to create a custom blend!
