Sea buckthorn CO2 extraction is from the pulp of the bright orange sea buckthorn berry. The CO2 is a deep red/orange colour and has a strong, musky scent. Sea buckthorn has a long history of curing skin ailments. The Ancient Greeks used sea buckthorn for its healing properties as early as 212 B.C. Its use in Tibet dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D) where it is referenced to in medical texts. Sea buckthorn CO2 contains 34% palmitic acid and 31% palmitoleic acid, fatty acids found naturally in our skin. They function similarly to our sebum forming a protective layer that keeps moisture in and microbes out. Also has 22% oleic acid, known for its ability to deliver nutrients deep into the layers of the skin. Sea Buckthorn CO2 has a high level of carotenoids and transforms into skin-firming retinol, an active form of vitamin A.
