The amount of Vitamin C is about 10 times greater than the amount found in oranges!  Sea Buckthorn oils extracted from the seeds, fruit and leaves have been shown to have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, and are being used in cosmetics for reducing redness, swelling and discomfort, and for nourishing and softening dry and over-reactive skin.  Helpful in dealing with acne, rosacea, eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.
