Seabuckthorn Berry Oils are commercially available. Seabuckthorn
Berry is a costly but highly nutritive oil used in low dilutions
in skin care applications, most especially facial seriums and anti-aging/anti-wrinkle
blends. The oil is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals
and other nutritive compounds. Its large ratio of beta carotene
is responsible for the vivid orange color of the oil. It is typically
used in dilutions of 1/2-1%.
