Why we use it
The sea buckthorn plant is a hardy little shrub found in northern Europe and throughout the Himalaya. The seeds of its orange berries produce an oil rich in essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids. Both fatty acids are crucial to skin health and can help with barrier function, breakouts, and inflammation.
