What ingredients does the oil contain?

The product consists of sea buckthorn oil (Oleum Hippophaes) and unrefined sunflower oil. The main feature of sea buckthorn oil is its combination of fatty acids and natural plant compounds that are originally present in the sea buckthorn fruits themselves. The following are noted in the product:

• Monounsaturated fatty acids — the product description states that their content is high; these are the fats that fit into the diet as an alternative to ordinary table oils.
• Carotenoids — natural pigments that give the berries their bright orange colour; this group includes, for example, beta-carotene. They are largely responsible for the rich colour of the oil.
• Bioflavonoids — plant substances valued as components of berry and fruit products.

Along with these natural components, the oil retains the characteristic taste and aroma of sea buckthorn. It is worth understanding that what is listed here are groups of compounds naturally present in sea buckthorn, not claimed therapeutic properties — the product is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent disease.
