The Incredible Benefits of Sea Buckthorn
The Lip Mask is often referred to as a 3-in-1 or even a 4-in-1 treatment, with its unique ability to hydrate, soothe, soften and firm lips. One of the key ingredients that makes all this possible is sea buckthorn oil. This gorgeous red-orange hued oil truly knows no bounds when it comes to skin and lip benefits, with a plethora of active ingredients within the oil itself.
Sea buckthorn shrubs are native to Europe and Asia and can be found in regions such as Northern Europe, sea coasts in Western Europe and mountainous regions in Russia and Mongolia. These shrubs and berries thrive in dry and cold temperatures (sometimes as low as -43 °C/-45 °F), which starts to give you an idea of the powerful properties contained within those berries.
Sea buckthorn oil contains high levels of all four essential fatty acids, which gives it supreme anti-inflammatory properties and makes it deeply hydrating for the lips and skin. It’s also rich in antioxidants which further help to replenish moisture, nourish the lips and fight free radicals.
This wondrous oil also contains tons of vitamin A, C and E. To be more precise, sea buckthorn contains 10 times more vitamin C than in an orange and is the third highest source of vitamin E in the plant world. These potent levels of vitamins help reduce the signs of aging by working on fine lines and wrinkles and also help brighten and even out skin tones.
