Developed for sun-damaged and maturing skin, Wild Carrot Herbals' Saffron & Sea Buckthorn Serum contains CO2- extracted sea buckthorn seed oil, an oil derived from the bright orange berries of the sea buckthorn shrub, a hardy plant native to Russia and China. For centuries, sea buckthorn fruit and seed oil have been used as a remedy for sun-damaged and extremely dry skin. Containing omegas 3, 6 and 9, this oil is believed to be the only plant source of the elusive omega 7. With therapeutics including promoting cellular regeneration after radiation burns, it has the ability to absorb ultraviolet rays offering natural sun protection, and is also a well-known treatment for rosacea. Containing an estimated 190 nutrients and phytonutrients, this oil is high in a large number of vitamins and minerals, beta carotene and essential fatty acids that promote collagen production, soothe inflammation, and support skin repair and healing. A great choice for those seeking to restore damaged or prematurely aged skin, sea buckthorn oil is also useful against acne, healing and smoothing the skin.
