There is always a new super ingredient popping up in the beauty trends. The latest is called sea buckthorn oil. It's medicinal uses have been known for centuries in the Chinese and Swedish cultures, probably because the plant it is produced from grows in cool environments such as Sweden and the Himalayas. This tiny yellowish-orange berry is smaller than a blueberry but has 12 times the amount of vitamin C in an orange! The sea buckthorn berries are also rich with antioxidants, vitamins E and A, as well as Omega 3,6,7 and 9 fatty acids. Pretty much this is a magical fruit!
The oil extracted from this fruit is great for the skin, and can even be eaten for internal health benefits as well. Here are three health benefits:
1. Weight Loss
Research has shown that the sea buckthorn berries have the ability to prevent the storage of excess fat, therefore assisting in weight loss.2. Elimination
The high Omega-7 fatty acid content of this fruit comes with anti-inflammatory benefits that assist with keeping your bowels the perfect healthy consistency, preventing elimination discomfort.
3. Clear Skin
The vitamins in this fruit work to heal the skin from the inside out, calming it to help keep it clear. Some of the skincare benefits you can expect from this fruit are moisture retention, skin repair (scarring/sun damage), a boost of collagen production, aging prevention and glowing skin. It reduces redness as well as burning and itching that can occur.
