If you’re into natural skincare, chances are you’ve come across sea buckthorn—this little orange berry is making a big splash in serums and moisturizers everywhere. But what is sea buckthorn? And why is sea buckthorn good for skin? Let’s dive into what makes it so special—and why it’s the hero ingredient in Grimoire’s Vanity Monday, a face serum that gives your skin a much-needed reboot.
So, What Is Sea Buckthorn?
Sea buckthorn is a shrub that grows bright orange berries that are loaded with skin-loving nutrients. We're talking serious doses of antioxidants, vitamins, and rare omega fatty acids—especially Omega-7, which helps your skin bounce back, glow up, and stay smooth.
Unlike most plant oils, sea buckthorn oil is made from both the pulp and the seeds, giving it a full spectrum of nourishment. Basically, it's a skin multitasker.
Sea Buckthorn Benefits for Skin
-
Supercharged with Vitamin C: Up to 12 times more than oranges! It brightens, evens out tone, and supports collagen—hello, glow!
-
Omega Fatty Acids Galore: Omega-3, 6, 7, and 9 help keep your skin barrier strong and hydrated.
-
Naturally Soothing: It calms redness and irritation, which is great for sensitive skin or if your face just...freaks out sometimes.
Sea Buckthorn and Acne
If your skin leans oily or breakout-prone, sea buckthorn could be your new favorite. Thanks to its antibacterial powers and its knack for balancing oil, sea buckthorn and acne can actually get along pretty well. It helps calm inflammation and hydrate without clogging pores—a tricky combo, but this ingredient pulls it off.
Sea Buckthorn for Eczema and Rosacea
For eczema sufferers, sea buckthorn is gentle, nourishing, and helps lock in moisture on irritated or cracked skin. And sea buckthorn can also help with rosacea. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe redness and help your skin recover and protect itself from flare-ups.
