Sea Buckthorn: strength, tenacity, endurance
“Holy Fruit of the Himalayas”
A signature ingredient in our products, sea buckthorn berry, endures the intense conditions of high altitude, exposure to powerful ultraviolet radiation, extreme heat and cold, and dry soil. Let's just say the plant is a survivor, with built-in defense mechanisms and water-saving tricks that help it to flourish without needing much nourishment from the land. But this ingredient is more than just a hydrating hero, it also has a range of medicinal and pharmacology benefits.
