Seabuckthorn is also one of the few edible plants with all four omega fatty acids, which can promote collagen growth.

In addition, seabuckthorn also has a reducing effect on C-reactive protein, which is a marker of acute inflammation and a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.
Repair Eczema Inflamed Skin
Seabuckthorn contains natural anti-inflammatory substances—quercetin and salicin. Both clinical medicine and traditional Chinese medicine have evidence of using seabuckthorn oil to treat inflammation.
Seabuckthorn oil is considered a valuable topical agent for burns and wound healing, and its unique unsaturated fatty acids such as palmitoleic acid (omega-7), a component of the skin, and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, omega-6), may impart regenerative and repairing properties to the skin. Sea buckthorn oil easily penetrates the epidermis, improves blood circulation, promotes oxygenation of the skin, and removes excess toxins from the body.
Since gamma-linolenic acid is converted into prostaglandins inside the skin, sea buckthorn oil prevents infections, prevents allergies, eliminates inflammation and inhibits aging.
