Can this sea buckthorn oil be applied to the skin, and how can you do it carefully? — Sea Buckthorn Oil, 100ml - Vitateka

VITATEKA sea buckthorn oil can be used in external care when the skin needs a richer emollient, for example on areas with noticeable dryness or a feeling of tightness. Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin and spread it in a thin layer. It is best to start with a small amount: the oil has a rich texture, so any excess can stay on the surface of the skin for a long time and transfer to clothing or bed linen.

Before the first application, do a patch test on a small area of skin. If marked discomfort or an unwanted reaction appears during use, wash the product off and stop using it. Do not apply the oil to irritated or damaged skin without a specialist's recommendation.

Sea buckthorn oil has a characteristic bright orange colour due to its carotenoids. So after applying it, let it absorb, use a separate towel and bear in mind that the oil can leave marks on light-coloured fabrics. For everyday care it is convenient to use it locally rather than on a large area of skin straight away.
