The Holy Fruit of Skin and Wellness

Sea Buckthorn isn’t just another skincare ingredient; it’s a superfruit with a history as rich as its nutrients. Known as the “holy fruit” in Tibet, it has been revered for centuries in traditional medicine across Tibet and China. From treating skin issues and wounds to supporting digestion and even mood, Sea Buckthorn was a cornerstone of wellness long before modern science caught up.

A Legendary Origin

The genus name of Sea Buckthorn, Hippophae, comes from the Greek words hippo (horse) and phaos (to shine). Ancient Greeks discovered that feeding the berries to horses restored their strength and gave their coats an unmistakable shine.

Even history’s greatest conquerors may have witnessed its benefits. When Alexander the Great returned from India, passing through harsh desert regions, his troops and horses were suffering from exhaustion and lack of food. Those who fed on Sea Buckthorn berries and leaves reportedly regained vigor, a natural boost captured by this extraordinary plant.

Nature’s Most Complete Nutritional Package

What makes Sea Buckthorn so remarkable today isn’t just legend; it’s the scientific profile of its nutrients. Wild-harvested and sustainably sourced, Sea Buckthorn contains:

• Omega 3, 6, 7, 9 - including the highest known concentration of Omega-7 in the plant or animal kingdom

• 17 vitamins, 14 minerals, and 18 amino acids

• Over 190 bioactive compounds, including powerful antioxidants like proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, and polyphenols

The Antioxidant Powerhouse

Sea Buckthorn’s antioxidant profile is astounding. Studies suggest it has up to 70 times the antioxidant power of vitamin C, helping to protect cells from free radical damage, reduce oxidative stress, and support overall skin health. This makes it not just a skincare hero, but a holistic wellness ingredient.

Why It Works in Skincare

Topically, Sea Buckthorn oil is rich in omegas and antioxidants that support skin hydration, elasticity, and barrier function, while also helping skin feel nourished, soft, and resilient. Its nutrients work synergistically with vitamins like C and E to brighten, calm, and protect your complexion.

Taken internally, it supports gut health, immunity, and natural energy levels, making it a unique ingredient that bridges both beauty and wellness.
