What is Sea Buckthorn CO2-to Extract?

Sea Buckthorn CO2-to Extract is an extract with a deep orange-red color that is obtained from the berry of the sea buckthorn shrub.

Sea Buckthorn CO2-to Extract is made from the pulp of the sea buckthorn berry (Hippophae Rhamnoides) and is comparable to an essential oil in terms of concentration.

How is Sea Buckthorn CO2-to Extract made?

The berries of the sea buckthorn shrub contain only 12% to 15% oil and are bursting with highly concentrated vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Through high pressure, without heat, a beautiful extract is obtained from these orange berries.

The result is an extract full of active substances, including palmitoleic acid (omega 7), palmitic acid and a wide range of unsaponifiable components including: carotenoids, alkanes, tocopherols (Vitamin E) and sterols.

Benefits

Powerful antioxidant for the skin.

Pro-Vitamin A in the form of carotenoids gives the beautiful orange red color to this extract and together with vitamin E forms a rich source of antioxidants. Sea Buckthorn CO2 extract is extremely suitable for the care of mature skin. It promotes the production of collagen and tightens the skin smooth and firm again. In addition, it stimulates cell renewal, making the skin glow again.

Helps rough and chapped skin.

Dry, rough and chapped skin also benefits from the healing properties of this ingredient. Sea Buckthorn CO2 extract contains the rare palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid that is also present in our own skin sebum, which supports the skin's healing capacity. This fatty acid helps effectively in the care of scars, among other things.

Effective for damaged hair.

The strongly restorative properties of this beautiful extract can also be used on hair. Sea Buckthorn CO2 can be added as a botanical ingredient to your homemade shampoos, conditioners and other hair products. Damaged hair will come back to life and regain its shine.

How to use Sea Buckthorn CO2 Extract

Sea Buckthorn CO2-to Extract is highly concentrated, making it important to always mix the extract with a base oil such as Jojoba Oil or Sweet Almond Oil. You can also use the Extract as an ingredient in DIY care products. Add the extract to the oil phase of your formula and make sure you don't heat it for too long, so that the beautiful properties remain intact. It is important that your end product consists of no more than 10% Sea Buckthorn CO2-to Extract.

Help, I can't get the oil out of the bottle!

Don't worry, this is normal. At lower temperatures, the extract can solidify. Warm the bottle in a layer of warm water (not too hot) to make the extract liquid again.

And one last tip ...

Don't want to walk around like an oompa loompa? Then prefer not to use the extract pure on the skin. The oil gives off a strong orange color and can cause stains on light-colored clothing and sheets. So dilute the extract with a carrier oil of your choice and let the oil absorb well before putting on your favorite white blouse or lying down on your white pillow.
