Home Page > Carrier Oil Profiles > Seabuckthorn Berry Oil Seabuckthorn Berry Oil
Botanical Name: Hippophae rhamnoides Viscosity: Medium. Absorption/Feel: Oily Feel. Should Be Diluted to Approximately 1%. Color: Orange. Shelf Life: 12 Months. Notes: Cold pressed and CO2 extracted Seabuckthorn Berry Oils are commercially available. Seabuckthorn Berry is a costly but highly nutritive oil used in low dilutions in skin care applications, most especially facial seriums and anti-aging/anti-wrinkle blends. The oil is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and other nutritive compounds. Its large ratio of beta carotene is responsible for the vivid orange color of the oil. It is typically used in dilutions of 1/2-1%. Important Note: The information provided on AromaWeb is for educational purposes only.
