How to choose sea buckthorn products
The selection holds sea buckthorn oil, capsules, juice and jam, tea and cosmetics. Choose by how you will use it: in food, as capsules, as tea or on the skin.
What the selection holds
- Oil – sea buckthorn oil in a bottle. It is either a food oil or a cosmetic oil: the label says which.
- Oil in capsules – easy to dose: the label gives the amount of oil per capsule.
- Juice, jam and berries – pure pressed juice, jam, dried berries and syrup.
- Tea – herbal and berry teas and blends with sea buckthorn, including ones with fireweed and chaga.
- Cosmetics – creams, balms, ointments, soap and hair care with sea buckthorn oil or extract.
What to check on the pack
- Oil: check what it is made from – the berries or the seeds – how it was pressed and how long it keeps once opened.
- Capsules: compare the mg of oil per capsule and the daily dose – that makes the price per day easier to compare.
- Juice and syrup: check for added sugar; pure pressed juice usually contains nothing but sea buckthorn.
- Storage: once opened, keep the oil and the juice as the pack says – often in the fridge.
Use food supplements and syrups in the amount given on the pack; a food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. Test cosmetics on a small area of skin before first use. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or prone to allergies, consult a doctor.
