Sea buckthorn: a small berry with multiple benefits for the skin

Seabuckthorn fruit, a small orange berry, produces oil from either the seeds or the flesh of the berries, which is very rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids. It therefore has a multitude of benefits for the skin, which is why we have chosen it as the flagship product of La Maison de l'Argousier skincare line. The range offered is particularly comprehensive, with protective, moisturizing, anti-aging and anti-spot actions...

What are Sea Buckthorn's benefits for the skin?

Its benefits are due to its rich content of vitamins A, C, E and F, beta-carotene, antioxidants and essential fatty acids (omegas 3, 6, 7 and 9). Products containing them are therefore ideal for dry or mature skin, but not only. However, we must distinguish between two types of sea buckthorn oil: that obtained from the seeds of the small berry and that obtained from its pulp.

Sea buckthorn seed oil

Sea buckthorn seed oil contains high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, which boost cell renewal and improve skin appearance. They also help reinforce the epidermis' hydrolipidic film, while preserving the water content of the stratum corneum.

Oil extracted from the fruit pulp

The oil obtained from sea buckthorn flesh is very rich in beta-carotenes (the precursors of vitamin A) and palmitoleic acid, which offers effective protection against free radicals and helps combat the signs of aging. The latter also promotes the renewal of damaged cells. The orange color of this oil (thanks to the presence of beta-carotenes) gives an instant healthy glow.

For skin with imperfections

Sea buckthorn oil also slows down the proliferation of microbes, which is useful for preventing and reducing blemishes. It also has healing properties, helping to limit the appearance of unsightly marks and scars.

What are the origins of sea buckthorn?

Sea buckthorn has been used medicinally since ancient times. It is also widely used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, as well as in Ayurvedic medicine. Sea buckthorn's properties are used to treat certain skin and mucous membrane disorders, digestive problems, irregular and painful menstruation, certain cardiovascular disorders...

China currently has 300,000 hectares of sea buckthorn orchards, and manufactures over 200 products containing sea buckthorn in around 150 factories. The oil in La Maison de l'Argousier products, however, doesn't come from so far away. The plantations are located in Moldavia, in Eastern Europe, and our oil is produced using methods that respect the active ingredients it contains as much as possible. All our products are then manufactured in France using natural ingredients. What's more, they are not tested on animals, and their packaging is designed to generate as little waste as possible.

For stressed, tired skin

Thanks to the vitamin F it contains, Sea Buckthorn oil has a smoothing and regenerating action. Signs of fatigue are reduced, and skin regains its suppleness and softness.
