An emollient and occlusive moisturizing oil derived from sea-buckthorn seeds or pulp. Both the seeds and the pulp are a rich source of fatty acids, and the pulp also has a high content of antioxidants.

Occlusive
Moisturizing (Occlusive)
Occlusives are moisturizing ingredients that seal moisture into the skin, forming a water-resistant barrier.

Hippophae rhamnoides oil is red-orange oil derived from the seeds or berry pulp of the sea-buckthorn. The fatty acid composition of the oil depends on which part of the berry it was obtained from.
The seed oil is rich in linoleic and alpha-linolenic fatty acids, while the oil derived from the pulp has a uniquely high concentration of palmitoleic acid. Significant levels of fatty acids make this oil a potent emollient ingredient and ensure that it creates an occlusive film on the skin, which helps to reduce transepidermal water loss.
The sea-buckthorn pulp oil is also a rich source of antioxidants (Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Vitamin E) and carotenoids – which contribute to the orange color of the berry.
Lastly, it contains lipids that strengthen the lipid barrier of the skin and help to protect against external stress.
