Often called the "Holy Fruit of the Himalayas," Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) has transitioned from ancient herbal medicine to a modern skincare powerhouse. Sea Buckthorn is one of the richest plant sources to contain Omega-7. This rare fatty acid is a natural component of our skin’s sebum. Because the science is so compelling, we knew Sea Buckthorn had to be a cornerstone of our formulation. We have infused our Radiance Recovery Serum+ with high-quality Sea Buckthorn extract to create a nutrient-dense treatment for your skin.
Research suggests that topical application of Omega-7 helps to maintain the skin's barrier function, deeply hydrate the epidermis and accelerate the regeneration of skin tissues.
The extract is packed with vitamins C and E, along with flavonoids and carotenoids.
A study published in Lipids in Health and Disease highlights that these antioxidants work synergistically to neutralize free radicals caused by UV exposure and pollution, effectively slowing the visible signs of aging.
For those struggling with sensitive or reactive skin, Sea Buckthorn offers significant relief. Its high concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) supports skin repair and reduces inflammation. This makes it an ideal ingredient for soothing conditions like eczema or post-sun irritation.
