5 There are two types of sea buckthorn oil:
fruit oil and seed oil
• Unlike other fruits, sea buckthorn gives us oil from the
fruit as well as the seed
• The fruit oil is dark orange, more viscous and contains the
Omega 7 fatty acid that we spoke about earlier
• The seed oil is lighter, less viscous and contains Omega
3, 6, and 9 fatty acids
• Both can be used for internal as well as external purposes.
Fruit oil is preferred for skin care. A blend works best in
all cases!

biochemical action of flavonoids present in sea buckthorn
