Sea Buckthorn Oil

Description

Sea Buckthorn Oil

Sea Buckthorn Oil is an incredibly nutrient dense, moisturising carrier oil, that plays a vitally important role in Wild As The Wind FACIAL OIL No. 2.

Sea Buckthorn Oil is a gorgeous amber coloured oil, which, if used on its own, will stain the skin. For this reason, Sea Buckthorn Oil should be diluted with at least one other carrier oil before being applied topically.

The concentration of Sea Buckthorn Oil to other base oils should approximately be c. 10%.

INCI Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Seed Oil

• Burns, including sunburn and deeper types of burns (kitchen, chemical / acid burns)
• Cuts, & deeper wounds
• Rashes
• Damaged skin
• Skin integrity

Sea Buckthorn Oil As A Moisturiser

Sea Buckthorn Oil has the ability to deeply penetrate the lipid layers of the skin, where it delivers a nutrient-rich bundle of benefits which can rectify dermal imbalances in addition to helping cleanse, exfoliate and nourish your skin from the inside out.

Essentially fatty acids, or EFA’s, which are more commonly known as Omega fats, are what moisturise our skin… and Sea Buckthorn Oil contains EFA’s in abundance.

Omega-3 & Omega-6 :: Omega-3 & 6 have been scientifically proven to contain age-fighting properties which reduce the appearance of wrinkles, acne, scarring and other forms of skin damage. They are also effective at easing eczema, psoriasis, and dandruff.Omega-7 :: helps heal wounds, even those caused by burns. It is profoundly anti-inflammatory.

Sea Buckthorn Oil Nutrient Profile

Sea Buckthorn Oil is also rich in antioxidants and other nutrients, which all contribute to the potent healing benefits of this important oil.

Sea Buckthorn Oil nutrients and antioxidants include:

• Beta-Carotene
• Carotenoids
• Glucosides
• Phenols
• Plant Sterols
• Terpenes
• Tocotrienols
• Tocopherols
• Pro-vitamin A (from carotenoids)
• Vitamin C

Sea Buckthorn Oil also contains important nutrient trace elements such as selenium, manganese, copper, and iron.

Sea buckthorn can nearly be classified as the almighty wonder oil given its intensely rich nutritional profile, which includes vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D, E, K and P; carotenoids; flavonoids; amino acids; phenols; folic acid; organic acids; and 20 mineral elements, not to mention its essential fatty acid profile. It may be the only plant in the world to contain all four omegas: omega-3, omega-6, omega-7 and omega-9. That’s a powerfully healing cocktail.

Sea Buckthorn Oil For Anti-Ageing

Sea Buckthorn Oil is anti-ageing in many ways.

***Pro-vitamin A is the active constituent within Retinol, which has now been scientifically proven to be harmful. This is why it is important to use natural sources of Pro-vitamin A rather than the synthetically engineered form of Pro-vitamin A, i.e. the Retinol typically found in mass produced serums and creams, which is made in a lab using unnatural ingredients and processes.

Retinol has been produced from acidification or hydrolysis of retinal that is synthesized chemically by the reduction of a pentadiene derivative. However, these chemical processes have some disadvantages, such as complex purification steps and the formation of undesirable by-products.

Read why Retinol is harmful and actually contributes to ageing rather than preventing it. The article, Bakuchiol Oil & Rosehip Oil Versus Retinol, also details a couple of the carrier oils to consider diluting your Sea Buckthorn Oil with.

Wild As The Wind offer two fantastic Rosehip oils :: Wildcrafted Organic Rosehip Oil and Organic Rosehip Oil.

Wildcrafted Organic Rosehip Oil is a superior quality carrier oil, which is much more nutrient dense than other Rosehip Oils.

The Wild As The Wind Organic Rosehip Oil is also a superior oil to many, but it is not as nutrient rich or energetically potent as the Wild As The Wind Wildcrafted Organic Rosehip Oil.

The other oil mentioned, Bakuchiol Antioxidant Oil, is also a nutrient powerhouse, which has been scientifically shown to be as effective as Retinol without any of the negative side effects.

*** Both Rosehip and Bakuchiol Oils should be used as diluted ingredients within your face oil blends. Bakuchiol Oil is ideally used at a low dilution :: anywhere between 0.5% and 5%, and Rosehip Oil should be used at c. 10% dilution.

Wild As the Wind advise up to a 30% dilution of Organic Jojoba Oil (to maintain optimum sebum levels, so your skin does not block and form blackheads and acne etc.)

In addition, you can use up to a 50% to 60% dilution of Organic Sweet Almond Oil, which is colourless, nutrient dense and very easily absorbed.

Sea Buckthorn Oil For Problem Skin

Sea Buckthorn Oil has high concentrations of palmitoleic acid (19-29%) and palmitic acid, which is the most common saturated fatty acid found in animals, plants and microorganisms, and is an excellent emollient.

Palmitoleic acid is known as Omega-7, and is also a constituent which is naturally found in human skin. However, like so many key nutrients, its natural occurrence within our skin diminishes with age. This is why it is important to increasingly replace it as time goes by.

Recent studies have reported that palmitoleic acid is useful in treating disorders related to skin hyperpigmentation, fibrosis and as an adjuvant in formulations for the treatment of secondary infections caused by gram-positive bacteria.

*The palmitoleic acid content of Sea Buckthorn Oil (19-29%) exceeds that of Macadamia Oil (c. 17%) which is the oil known to have the second-highest concentration of this important ingredient.

Sea Buckthorn Oil Antioxidants

It reduces the appearance of redness and inflammation, soothing some of the more painful symptoms of our more troubling skin conditions.

Contraindications

If you have sensitive skin, or if you do a lot of sun bathing, there’s a very remote chance you may have a slight reaction to this Wild As The Wind oil.

It is always advisable to perform a patch test on the soft skin on the inside of your forearm before using carrier oils on your face.

Perform A Patch Test

Place a drop or two of Wild As The Wind oil on your inner forearm, making sure to massage it well into your skin.

A severe reaction will occur within ten minutes, but it may take 24 hours for milder intolerances to emerge.

Look for signs of Urticaria, (aka Hives), discolouration, redness, dryness, or feelings of irritation / itchiness.

If you experience none of these, you will be safe to use your Wild As The Wind oil elsewhere on your body, including your face.

Nevertheless, always avoid sensitive areas and inside your ears unless otherwise instructed by your health professional. This is especially important if you use your Wild As The Wind oil as a carrier oil for a number of Essential Oils.
