Sea buckthorn berry: a vitamin C concentrate
This little-known berry is as vitamin-rich as its orange color suggests! Its vitamin C content is remarkable and biologically exceptional. For every 100g of sea buckthorn berries, you'll need between 0.2 and 0.6g of vitamin C... that's 20 times more than in the same quantity of orange! A veritable vitamin concentrate, this richness has not escaped Tibetan and Chinese pharmacopoeia, which have been using it for centuries in traditional medicine and phytotherapy. There are over 300 preparations (oil, decoction, powder, pill, extract, etc.) using sea buckthorn to combat exhaustion of the body and skin, cold, dry air, bouts of weakness and fatigue, and aging.
Although essential to our health, vitamin C is not synthesized by our bodies. We therefore need to compensate for this deficiency through our diet and skin care products adapted to each skin type. In our serums and face creams, we faithfully reproduce the composition of sea buckthorn berries, putting plant intelligence at the service of precious cosmetics. Our biomimetic technology provides your skin with the same concentration of vitamin C as sea buckthorn berries contain in their natural state. Skin is brighter, healthier and more luminous... as vitaminized as the little orange berry!

Sea buckthorn berry: a shield for your skin
Seabuckthorn owes its unique concentration of vitamins to the hostile environments in which it chooses to make its home. From the icy heights of the Himalayas to the steppes, tundras and cold territories, nothing is able to bend Sea Buckthorn, which compensates for the aridity of the soil thanks to its overdeveloped capacity to store not only vitamin C but also flavonoids (vitamin P), essential for the proper functioning of our immune system. By considerably strengthening all blood vessels, the active ingredients in Sea Buckthorn improve blood circulation. The results are clear: the plant and its berries have anti-inflammatory, immunostimulant and antioxidant virtues, which are particularly appreciated in the steppes of Central Asia, where sea buckthorn consumption provides protection against extreme temperature variations. Present in the water (aqueous part) of the berry and not in the oil, vitamin C is present in La Maison de l'Argousier skin care creams and waters, which reconstitute the balance of the berry by combining the oily and aqueous phases known as TOTUM.
The antioxidant power of sea buckthorn berries
Ideal for preserving skin's youthful appearance, sea buckthorn berries are not only rich in antioxidants. In oil, cream or serum form, the plant provides all the essential fatty acids and vitamin E our skin needs.
The antioxidants present in the shrub and its berry help detoxify the skin, regulate and regenerate its natural defenses. A natural benefit that La Maison de l'Argousier has made possible thanks to a perfect reconstitution of the plant in each of its cosmetics.
More than any other cosmetics, we bring plant-based truth to the service of your skin.
