What are the benefits? |
Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil is valued for its contribution to skin's appearance and feel. It is recognized as a skin conditioning agent due to its rich composition of various beneficial compounds. This oil contains a unique blend of fatty acids, including omega-3, omega-6, omega-9, and the less common omega-7. These fatty acids are known to help maintain the skin's moisture barrier, which is important for supporting skin hydration and a smooth feel.
Additionally, Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil is a source of certain vitamins, such as Vitamin E and Vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids, which the skin can convert to Vitamin A). It also contains compounds like flavonoids and other plant-derived components. These ingredients contribute to the oil's potential to visibly soothe the skin and help reduce the appearance of temporary redness associated with dryness or irritation. It is often utilized in products to promote the appearance of healthy-looking skin and can assist in maintaining the skin's natural resilience. Comedogenic rating: 1-2 Vertical Divider
