🌿 Let’s Talk About Sea Buckthorn Oil – My Favourite Skin Secret
If you’ve ever chatted with me about skin, you’ll know I’ve got a bit of a love affair with Sea Buckthorn oil. Honestly, it’s one of those ingredients I’ll never stop being excited about. It’s bright, bold, and bursting with skin-loving goodness — the kind of oil you discover once and wonder how you ever managed without.
Now, before you picture a soft, delicate plant whispering quietly in a field… stop right there. Sea Buckthorn is a powerhouse. It comes from a hardy little shrub that thrives in the wild, often growing in the most inhospitable coastal and mountainous areas. The oil is extracted from its vivid orange berries — and let me tell you, it looks like liquid sunshine. But more importantly, it acts like it too. As sweet as it sounds the actual berry itself is very bitter to taste, although safe to eat I,m not sure I would try it again as a food source!
Why do I love it so much?
Because it works. Sea Buckthorn oil is genuinely one of the most nourishing, repairing, and glow-giving oils I’ve ever come across — and trust me, I’ve worked with a lot of them over the years.
It’s incredibly rich in omega fatty acids, including the rare Omega 7 (palmitoleic acid), which your skin just drinks up. It’s known for helping with skin repair, supporting the barrier function, and speeding up healing in dry, irritated, or damaged skin. I’ve seen it work wonders on clients with flaking, sensitivity, and even post-inflammatory pigmentation after breakouts.
What’s more, it’s absolutely loaded with antioxidants — especially Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and carotenoids, which give the oil its gorgeous amber colour. These antioxidants are like a protective shield for your skin, helping to defend against environmental stress and premature ageing.
But it’s not just about defence — it’s about radiance.
When I use Sea Buckthorn oil in skincare formulations, I do it to restore life to the skin — particularly skin that’s feeling tired, weather-worn, or a little neglected. It’s amazing for mature or menopausal skin, skin that’s been overexposed to the sun, or even skin that’s just feeling dull and devitalised.
I always say Sea Buckthorn has a kind of wisdom to it. It’s as though it knows exactly what your skin needs, and then delivers it in the gentlest, most nurturing way.
And yes — it’s a bit of a show-off in blends too.
It plays beautifully with other oils. I love pairing it with rosehip, calendula, or jojoba for a deeply regenerative effect. It’s also a beautiful way to support skin after facial treatments, peels, or exposure to harsh conditions. And for anyone working in skincare therapy, you’ll know how rare it is to find something so powerful and so soothing.
Now, I’ll let you in on a little secret…
I’ve been working on a skincare product that features Sea Buckthorn as a star ingredient — because it deserves the spotlight. It’s not just a ‘nice addition’ to a base — it is the hero of the finished product. Rich, golden, nourishing — designed to feed the skin on every level.
I wanted to create something that feels as good to use as it does to recommend to a client. And I think this might just be it.
So, if you’re someone who loves oils that work hard without irritating, that nurture the skin while giving it a radiant, healthy glow… keep your eyes peeled. Because this one’s coming soon, and it’s been crafted with every ounce of love and intention.
Until then, if you’ve ever used Sea Buckthorn in your routine, I’d love to hear about it. What did you notice? How did your skin feel? Let’s talk oils — my favourite kind of conversation.
With warmth and amber-toned glow,
