At Shirley Conlon Organics, we supercharge all our skincare products with this active CO2 extract, to benefit from all the natural elements of this amazing plant.

Sea buckthorn contains an unbelievable 190 nutrients and phytonutrients and boasts a super vitamin C concentration, 12 times higher than that of an orange!

Loaded with omega 3,6 and 9 it contributes to healthy, glowing skin. It is the only known plant source containing the elusive omega 7 fatty acids, promoting unrivaled antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Notoriously used by Russian astronauts going into space, to prevent radiation damage, sea buckthorn contains vitamins B1, B2, K, C, A, and E, folic acid, and a number of powerful antioxidants and minerals. It is nicknamed the superfood botanical for pollution damage in repairing the skin at a cellular level.

Packed with carotenoids, it imparts an orange hue to the final formulas, which helps to brighten the complexion and soothe sunburn. The antioxidant; ‘gallocatechins’, which are effective against excess melanin in the skin, help to lighten hyperpigmentation.

It is a wonderful active botanical in the treatment of acne by reducing sebum production and strengthening the skin’s natural defense barrier.

Each of these minerals and vitamins contributes to the overall effectiveness of sea buckthorn, and this is why we use it in all our products.
