Key benefits

Sea buckthorn oil helps to visibly renew the skin thanks to its high content of natural carotenoids, vitamin E and omega 7. These fatty acids support the skin's hydrolipid layer and are ideal for dryness, irritation and fatigue. The oil promotes elasticity, soothes skin discomfort, reduces redness and gives the complexion a healthy glow. In addition, the oil protects the skin against external influences, helps improve scars and contributes to reducing pigmentation spots and UV-related damage.

As a hair oil, organic sea buckthorn oil promotes hair growth and protects against UV radiation, while nourishing and hydrating the hair.

Thanks to its light texture, the oil can be used in many ways: as a serum under a cream, as a local treatment or as a nourishing hair oil.

Active ingredients

Sea buckthorn oil (Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil)

A pure, cold-pressed oil derived from the berries of Hippophae Rhamnoides. Hippophae rhamnoides is a small shrub that grows on calcareous dunes, but also grows at high altitudes in the northern Himalayan region and produces fruits that are also known as the sacred fruit of the Himalayas.

The vegetable oil offered by Arc en Sels is extracted exclusively from the seeds using CO2 extraction, in order to preserve its precious properties and protect it from oxidation. The oil has been known for thousands of years and is used particularly in Central Asia, by Tibetan monks since the 8th century, and is known in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine for its beneficial effects on health.

This oil contains an exceptional combination of omega 3, 6, 7 and 9, vitamins A, C and E, and natural antioxidants such as beta-carotene. The oil supports cell renewal, helps reduce fine lines, soothes irritated skin and gives the complexion a healthy, warm glow. Thanks to omega 7, the skin barrier is visibly strengthened, which is essential for repairing dry, flaky or reactive skin. The rich history of sea buckthorn in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic care emphasises the power of this oil as a regenerating and protective ingredient.
