3 Richest plant source in the world for Omega 7 fatty acids
• Also known as palmitoleic acid

4 Sea buckthorn oil is called “Life Oil” in Tibet, for good reason
• Sea buckthorn grows abundantly in Tibet – easily recognizable as a bright orange berry
• It is used for internal as well external uses in Tibet
• Internal uses: general immunity, beautiful skin, hair and a healthy heart

5 There are two types of sea buckthorn oil: fruit oil and seed oil
• Unlike other fruits, sea buckthorn gives us oil from the fruit as well as the seed
• The fruit oil is dark orange, more viscous and contains the Omega 7 fatty acid that we spoke about earlier
• The seed oil is lighter, less viscous and contains Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids
• Both can be used for internal as well as external purposes. Fruit oil is preferred for skin care. A blend works best in all cases!

6 Helps prevent heart attacks!

9 Helps prevent sagging and wrinkling of skin
• Boosts collagen production in skin due to its rich supply of essential fatty acids
• Collagen is a protein that keeps the skin firm and supple
• Anti-oxidants (flavonoids, carotenoids, Vitamins C and E) prevent damage to skin cells from sunlight and other oxidizing agents. Hence great for inclusion in sunscreens and anti-ageing creams
• And obviously, it is a natural emollient that helps skin retain moisture – critical for skin health
