Seabuckthorn Oil
What is Seabuckthorn Oil?
Seabuckthorn Oil is extracted from the berries and seeds of the Seabuckthorn plant, native to Europe and Asia. The extraction process typically involves cold-pressing, which helps preserve its rich nutrient content.
It is commonly used in skincare products due to its high content of vitamins C, E, and omega fatty acids. Some studies suggest it may offer skin-nourishing benefits, though research on its effectiveness is limited and mixed.
