News Flash – Facial oils are here to stay!

But when you think sea buckthorn, think SIBU. SIBU is all sea buckthorn, all the time.

So “what” is so great about sea buckthorn and “why” should you consider adding it to your daily regimen?

First of all, not all Sea Berries are created equal.

Growing throughout most parts of Asia and Europe, there are several different species of the berry.

Turkestanica ssp. is known to be the most nutrient dense of all species of the berry and is used exclusively in all SIBU products.

Turkestanica Sea Berries grow in the valleys of the Himalayan Mountains at 12,000 to 14,000 feet above sea level. The high altitude and low oxygen levels - not to mention the extreme climate - produce a berry that has fortified itself in order to survive and thrive for over 13 centuries.

Two different oils are extracted from these "beauty berries", each one providing unique benefits. Here are the key things to remember when choosing Sea Buckthorn oil.

Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil - Best For Internal Use

• Also known as pulp oil, is extracted from the pulp or flesh of the berry and is rich in Omega-7 fatty acids.
  
  
• It is a deep red/orange color due to the plethora of carotenoids & flavonoids. This oil is most beneficial if taken internally where the abundance of Omega-7 (palmitoleic acid) supports healthy skin, hair and nails from the inside-out. 
  
  
• Omega-7 helps the skin, our body’s largest organ, to function the way it’s supposed to. This can be applied topically, however, is recommended to use internally. 

Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil - Best For Topical Use

• Sea buckthorn seed oil is extracted from the tiny seeds of the Sea Berry (sea buckthorn). It’s a beautiful golden color and is ideal for topical application.
  
  
• Sea buckthorn seed oil is rich in omega 3 combined with copious amounts of anti-oxidants (Vitamins E and A) to nourish, restore and regenerate the skin. This oil has been used to heal the skin & prevent the signs of age for over a century!
  
  
• SIBU uses only Super Critical CO2 Extraction to extract the oils from the pulp and the seed of the berry. This is important in insuring that the highest concentration of nutrients is retained in the oils.
  
  
• SIBU oils are 100% Certified USDA Organic. All berries all hand-harvest and wild-grown.
