Sea buckthorn, whose Latin name Hippophae Rhamnoides translates to "horse light," is suggested to have been used originally to give horses a shiny coat and help improve their eyesight, in turn "giving light."
Even further, sea buckthorn is scientifically reputed to have a superrich cocktail of antioxidants and human health benefits. The coral-red, edible berries of this summer green shrub are made up of juice and oil.
It's golden-red pulp and seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, carotenoids (provitamin A), and Vitamin E. This nutrient rich composition helps protect the skin from UV radiation and free-radical damage associated with signs of aging. What's more, it possesses antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and the easily absorbed oils support the buildup of the skin's lipid layers.
Juice from the sea buckthorn berries contains among the highest amounts of beta-carotene and vitamins C and E of any fruit or vegetable, including oranges and lemons (for Vitamin C), and sunflower seeds and almonds (for Vitamin E).
