Sea buckthorn: Your skin’s best friend

Whether in the form of creams, serums, or oils, there’s nothing to lose and everything to gain by using sea buckthorn-based skincare products! Whether incorporated into your daily routine or used as a spot treatment, this versatile berry is your skin’s best friend. In the wild, the sea buckthorn is a model of resilience against cold, drought, and sun. Its beautifully bright orange berries are packed with vitamins A, C, and E, polyphenols, and omega-3, 6, 7, and 9. But the entire plant is worth noting, from the stem to the thorns! This is evidenced by centuries of use in Asian and Central Asian medicine.

Sea buckthorn, a daily asset for your skin

Sea buckthorn offers benefits for all skin types. While those with normal, mature, and dry skin will choose creams, serums, or oils based on their preference, those with oily and combination skin will prefer creams and serums. For the latter, the very rich oil should be used sparingly, for example by mixing a few drops into a day cream.

Sea buckthorn berry: instant healthy glow!

Sea buckthorn berries owe their orange color to their high content of carotenoids (a group of molecules that includes beta-carotene, also known as provitamin A). This family of molecules not only provides significant antioxidant benefits but also imparts a vibrant, vitamin-rich hue that brightens the complexion. By mixing a few drops of sea buckthorn berry oil into your day cream, or by applying it directly to clean, dry skin, the healthy glow is instant and naturally replaces a lightly tinted cream. Carotenoids also form a protective barrier on the skin to block UV rays, but they do not replace the need for high-SPF sunscreen in the summer!

Sea Buckthorn, the beauty ally for mature skin

Sea buckthorn's antioxidant power is such that cosmonauts don't hesitate to use it to protect themselves from cosmic rays! On a day-to-day basis, with your feet firmly on the ground, sea buckthorn is a powerful ally for keeping skin healthy and reducing and slowing down the effects of cellular aging. Here again, creams for mature skin, serums or oils are chosen according to individual preferences or combined on a daily basis for optimum results. 

Also rich in vitamin E, sea buckthorn has powerful anti-wrinkle properties. By combining all the benefits of this plant in an eco-friendly, biomimetic approach, Maison de l’Argousier has created a line specifically designed to let every skin type reap these benefits. Whether you have young, adult, or mature skin, you’ll find the skincare routine that’s right for you to enjoy the best that nature has to offer.

Sea buckthorn, an unrivalled repairing agent

Made up of 65% palmitic and palmitoleic acids (omega 7), the oil contained in sea buckthorn berries is the closest to human sebum, helping to repair and soothe the skin.

Recognized anti-inflammatory benefits

Sea buckthorn's anti-inflammatory virtues have been discovered and exploited by traditional Asian medicines for centuries. Science has unlocked the secret of the berries' richness by revealing their high content of omega-3 and sterols, essential ingredients for locking in moisture, soothing itching and promoting the quality of the body's anti-inflammatory response. Thus, sensitive or irritated skin is rapidly relieved by the application of sea buckthorn berry oil like that offered by La Maison de l'Argousier.

Sea buckthorn's ability to keep the epidermis well hydrated and the hyper-nourishing power of its essential fatty acids and vitamins also ensure its effectiveness in terms of healing. By protecting the skin from UV rays, moisturizing and nourishing it, the epidermis regenerates faster and healthier.
Thanks to these benefits, Sea Buckthorn is particularly suitable for dry skin, which regains the comfort of nourishing moisturization and the softness of velvety skin.

Repair burned skin

In cream or oil form, sea buckthorn is regularly recommended as a preventive treatment or cure for all kinds of skin problems and accidents. For example, on sunny days, to protect against the first rays of the sun before opting for more appropriate protection in summer, or to relieve burns, blisters or cracks, itching or stings. Sea buckthorn soothes and protects, while its powerful moisturizing and nourishing properties repair and reinforce the skin's vitality. Better defended, stronger and more supple, the skin faces external aggressions with greater serenity and heals more rapidly. These virtues have been widely recognized for centuries in Asia and Central Europe, where climates can be harsh and extreme.

Young problem skin

For acne-prone skin or skin prone to microcysts, sea buckthorn-based creams or a small amount of sea buckthorn berry oil can pay off. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, sea buckthorn prevents the proliferation of bacteria responsible for the multiplication of pimples. Its healing properties accelerate the repair of damaged skin, soothing and evening out the appearance of unsightly scars.

Whatever your needs and expectations, La Maison de l'Argousier cosmetics offer simple, natural and pleasant solutions to preserve your skin and keep it healthy and radiant.
