What It Does
Sea buckthorn fruit oil is a distinctive orange-red oil extracted from the berries of Hippophae rhamnoides, native to cold mountainous regions of Europe and Asia. This CO2-extracted variant is particularly prized for its exceptional concentration of omega-7 (palmitoleic acid), carotenoids, and vitamin E, making it one of the most nutrient-dense botanical oils available. Formulators choose it for its unique fatty acid profile and natural antioxidant content, though its intense color requires careful consideration in product development.
