Sea Buckthorn Oil: Liquid Gold from the Sea of Plants

In the world of botanical skincare, some ingredients have a quiet reputation, known only to herbalists and skincare artisans.And then there’s sea buckthorn oil — a vibrant, golden-orange treasure that glows as brightly in the bottle as it does on your skin.

This little berry’s magic? It carries the nutrients of the sun, the resilience of wild shrubs that thrive in harsh climates, and a rich history of healing that stretches back thousands of years.

What Is Sea Buckthorn Oil?

Despite its name, sea buckthorn isn’t from the sea at all.It grows on thorny shrubs that cling to coastal regions and mountain slopes across Europe and Asia. The plant produces bright orange berries so rich in nutrients, they’ve been used in traditional medicine for centuries — from Ancient Greece to Tibetan healing rituals.

The oil can be pressed from either the seeds or the fruit pulp. At Wild Faye, we use fruit oil for its deep amber hue and unmatched skin-repair benefits.

A Natural Glow, Inside and Out

The oil’s bold color is more than just beautiful — it’s a sign of its potent carotenoids and antioxidants at work. Applied topically, it can leave a subtle, sunlit glow (a gift for dull or tired skin). Over time, it helps restore your skin’s natural radiance, making makeup feel optional.

A Friend to the Planet
