What it does: Emollient, Skin Conditioning

Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil also known as seabuckthorn oil. This oil is usually extracted from the fruit pulp or seeds.

Seabuckthorn is rich in phytosterols, carotenoids, Vitamins A, C, and E. This gives it strong antioxidant properties that can help soothe and protect your skin from oxidative damage.

This oil is rich in fatty acids, including: two types of linoleic acid (~30-34%), oleic acid (17%), and palmiteic acid (35%). Note these numbers are averages, and different parts of the plant will vary.

Palmitoleic acid has been shown to help soothe inflammation and promote wound healing. It is also naturally found in the fat of our skin.

Overall, seabuckthorn oil is great for nourishing, hydrating, and soothing skin. While it shows UV protecting properties, it should not replace sunscreen.

Due to the rich fatty acid content, this ingredient may not be Malassezia folliculitis, or fungal acne, safe.

Seabuckthorn berries are little orange fruits. This plant is native to Asia.

Calophyllum Inophyllum Seed Oil comes from the Tamanu tree. This tree grows in tropical regions of Asia and Polynesian countries such as Fiji.

Calophyllum Inophyllum Seed Oil contains many fatty acids such as linoleic, oleic, stearic, and palmitic acid. These properties help your skin stay hydrated.

As an antioxidant, Calophyllum Inophyllum Seed Oil may also slow down the signs of aging. Antioxidants help fight unstable free-radical molecules. These molecules may damage your skin cells and speed up aging. By helping to stabilize these molecules, antioxidants may help slow the signs of aging.

A study from 2015 found Tamanu oil to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Another study from 2009 found Tamanu Oil to help absorb UV rays. However, this should not replace your sunscreen.

Holy Grail Product, Versatile, Great for Face & Body
Originally bought this as a [facial] skin reset where you use ONLY this as a cleanser and moisturizer until everything calms down and *stays calm*, but it's worth having as a staple in your medicine cabinet. Tbh, when I'm too tired to wash my face, I still use this as a cleanser+moisturizer and call it a day (or night). But it's also great as a body moisturizer after a bath or shower. It's also helping calm down an eczema flareup on my hand right now. A little goes a long way!

Anyway, it smells heavenly, like... a sunny day near the ocean if that makes sense. lol If you buy directly from Living Libations, you can get refill jars so you don't have to throw away the original pump! For what it can do and how well it works, IMO it's worth the price. If you're struggling with acne, inflamed skin, dry spots, and/or texture issues, give it a try!
