General informationThis section has been translated automatically.
Sea buckthorn oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid, linolenic acid, palmitoleic acid) with a high content of carotene derivatives and vitamin C.
The extract has an antioxidative, balancing and strengthening effect on the skin. In experimental approaches healing-promoting effects on wounds (Edraki M et al. 2014) can be proven. An improvement of the skin barrier can also be achieved (Khan BA et al. 2014).
