Sea Buckthorn seed oil Organic
Description
Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a concentrated ingredient, not a base oil, used as an ingredient or diluted with vegetable oils to bring extra regeneration, protection, and radiance. It is recommended for mature, dull, blemish-prone or atopic-prone skin, and for anti-aging formulas where cell regeneration is the primary goal.
Unlike the oil obtained from the fruit pulp, the seed extract is less viscous and is concentrated in active substances. It contains a balanced ratio of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, along with carotenoids, vitamin E, and phytols. It is obtained through a supercritical carbon dioxide extraction method, free from chemical solvents and high temperatures, which keeps the complex biochemical profile of sea buckthorn seeds intact. Its vibrant orange color, given by carotenoids, is the visual sign of its high concentration of active principles.

Usage & Synergies
Face care
Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil is an active ingredient for mature, dull, or blemish-prone skin, used in small percentages (2-10%) in serums or creams. The intense orange color tints formulas, an aspect to consider when dosing, especially in light-colored products.
Practical recommendations
- Ingredient in anti-aging serum: Incorporate into an oily serum alongside lighter oils. The carotenoid concentration is sufficient to have an effect in low doses.
- Mask for dull skin: Add a few drops to a clay-based mask for extra regeneration and radiance.
- Ingredient in creams: Incorporate into creams intended for problematic, damaged, or aging skin, alongside specific active ingredients.
Synergies in face care
For an anti-aging serum, the synergy with Blackcurrant Seed Oil and Vitamin A supports regeneration and firmness. On blemish-prone skin, the association with Black Cumin Oil and Phyto-Silicone as a base offers a balancing effect and a non-greasy texture. Diluted in Olive Squalane, it maintains the fluid texture required for application to the face.
Body care
At the body level, Sea Buckthorn oil is valuable in formulas for mature, devitalized, or scarred skin, being used in low doses alongside base oils.
Practical recommendations
- Ingredient in regenerating cream: Incorporate at 2-10% into the oil phase of a cream for mature or scarred skin.
Synergies in body care
As a regenerating ingredient in body creams, the synergy with Rosa Mosqueta Oil and Schisandra Extract completes the skin repair spectrum.
Hair care
On hair, Sea Buckthorn oil can be included in small concentrations in treatments for a dehydrated or dandruff-prone scalp, due to its regenerating properties.
Practical recommendations
- Ingredient in scalp serum: Incorporate at 2-5% into a regenerating scalp oil alongside other active oils.
Synergies in hair care
As a regenerating active for the scalp, the synergy with Burdock Oil and Rosemary Essential Oil provides a complete treatment for scalps in need of revitalization.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does it tint formulas?
The vibrant orange color comes from the natural carotenoids present in a high concentration. It is a sign of the extract's concentrated strength. In low doses, the tinting effect is usually discrete.
What is the difference between the seed oil and the fruit pulp oil?
Seed oil (CO2 Extraction): It is dominated by polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6), optimally distributed. It has a much lighter texture, absorbs quickly into the skin, and is ideal for restoring the skin barrier and reducing inflammation.
Pulp oil (Pressed/Centrifuged): It is famous for its concentration of Palmitoleic Acid (Omega-7), has a stronger staining effect, and is used primarily as a regenerator for burns and damaged tissues.
