The berry

Sea buckthorn – or to give it its Latin name, Hippophae Rhamnoides – is reputed to have been used originally to give horses a shiny coat and help improve their eyesight.


Scientific researchers are now discovering the plant’s coral coloured, edible berries have a super-rich cocktail of antioxidants and human health benefits.


The golden-red pulp and seed oil are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, carotenoids (provitamin A) and vitamin E.


This nutrient-rich composition helps protect the skin from UV radiation and free-radical damage associated with premature signs of ageing.


What’s more, the beautiful berries possess antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and the easily absorbed oils support the build-up of the skin’s lipid layers.


When taken internally, there’s also good research on the oil – a source of Omega 7 – supporting mucous membranes, and increasingly you’re likely to see companies promoting supplements of sea buckthorn oil, primarily aimed at menopausal women.


Juice from the sea buckthorn berries contains among the highest amounts of beta-carotene and vitamins C and E of any fruit or vegetable.
