The inhabitants of Siberia have been using the fruits of sea buckthorn for a long time, harvesting them in the wild thickets. In folk medicine, the healing effect of sea buckthorn berries is known. They contain 4-5.8% sugars, 42-112 mg% vitamin C, 2-5% carotene.

In recent years, attention has especially increased to the healing sea buckthorn oil, which is used to treat burns, long-term non-healing wounds, stomach ulcers, gastritis, etc. Vitamin E and sea buckthorn oil contained in sea buckthorn berries prevent vascular sclerosis, muscle degeneration, and cholesterol deposition.

Why is the Siberian sea buckthorn considered the most useful? For what reason does it have unique healing properties that allow it to get rid of many ailments? Let's try to figure it out.

In the conditions of European and American winters (most often with a thick layer of snow), the resistance of this plant to sharp drops in temperature after prolonged thaws decreases.

Under the snow cover in the thawed soil, the "Siberian berry" wakes up ahead of time, spending the entire supply of nutrients for breathing, and suffocates from oxygen starvation, excess carbon dioxide. Often, the bark and cambium at the root collar and in the lower part of the trunk are vomited out.

Due to its rich composition, sea buckthorn oil has long been used in folk medicine for the treatment of various diseases. It also works well for skin and hair care.

Sea buckthorn oil, which is part of everyday skincare products, helps prevent early aging, nourishes the skin with beneficial substances. The product has a regenerating, rejuvenating, and anti-inflammatory effect, has exfoliating effect, which allows it to be used as a natural remedy to cleanse the skin of dead cells.

Despite the great popularity of sea buckthorn oil, in recent years, massage therapists increasingly prefer a massage cream containing sea buckthorn as the main component.

Why is sea buckthorn cream better than pure oil?

The cream is more versatile and absorbs faster into the skin. Thanks to the synergy of premium oils (for example, Shea oil and sea buckthorn oil), vitamins and plant extracts, the massage cream on the skin transforms into luxurious light massage oil that provides long-lasting perfect glide during massage.
