The oil has a silky-soft, quickly absorbed texture and is suitable for the face, body and hair.

Key benefits

Sea buckthorn oil helps 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.

Used as a hair oil, organic sea buckthorn oil promotes hair growth and protects against UV radiation, whilst nourishing and hydrating the hair.

Thanks to its light texture, the oil is versatile in use: as a serum under a cream, as a spot 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 chalky dunes, but also thrives at high altitudes in the northern Himalayan region, yielding fruits that are also known as the ‘holy fruit of the Himalayas’.

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

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 recovery from dryness, flakiness or reactive skin. Sea buckthorn’s rich history in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic skincare highlights the power of this oil as a regenerating and protective ingredient.
