WHAT SEA BUCKTHORN DOES
Sea Buckthorn Oil is an ingredient worthy of your skincare routine.
With over 200 nutrients to nourish the skin, it heals skin damage including scars, burns, and abrasions. It soothes eczema and treats acne.
But my favorite thing about Buckthorn Oil is it treats aging skin and sun-damaged skin as if it is an injury or wound. Sea Buckthorn thinks it must remedy the situation immediately. I feel ya, Sea Buckthorn. So it “calls the troops” together, making repairing cells “rescue” the aging skin by working overtime building as much collagen as possible.
That makes Sea Buckthorn a great ingredient in a vitamin C serum. C provides the building blocks for collagen while Sea Buckthorn tells the skin to make collagen. Go team!
