Sea buckthorn oil is a valuable skincare ingredient, enhancing moisture, elasticity, and reducing inflammation in those with prolonged skin concerns.
A recent review published in the Journal of Biosciences and Medicines provided an in-depth analysis of the potential benefits of sea buckthorn oil across various skin conditions, while also addressing key challenges related to formulation and the preservation of the oil's nutritional properties.
Sea buckthorn oil, derived from Hippophae rhamnoides, is emerging as an innovative solution for addressing problematic skin disorders like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, burns and other barrier-related injuries. Known for its rich composition of omegas, vitamins and antioxidants, this oil shows extraordinary potential in lessening inflammation, improving skin barrier function, and accelerating wound healing.
Numerous studies have highlighted its anti-inflammatory properties, demonstrating enhancements in skin redness (erythema), sensitivity, and overall skin wellness. Sea buckthorn oil taken orally may boost skin brightness, moisture retention, and elasticity, with maximum hydration occurring at 8 weeks. While clinical trials and case studies underline its effectiveness, challenges such as formulation stability, quality control, and individual treatment variability remain hurdles, conveyed the study authors.
