Mannavita Hungarian cold-pressed Sea Buckthorn seed oil • 40 ml

Sea buckthorn seed oil is the only plant-based oil that contains omega-3, -6, -7, and -9 fatty acids in significant amounts. It carries all four important fatty acids in a balanced ratio.

Its omega-7 content is especially interesting, as this fatty acid is found in very few plants and is extremely effective in protecting mucous membranes, such as in cases of dry eyes, mouth, or vaginal dryness.

Sea buckthorn is an extremely resilient plant: it can survive and thrive even in desert-like, rocky, or salt-rich soils. This resilience “lives on” in the oil made from its seeds: it is often referred to as an adaptogenic oil because it may help the body adapt to stress, fatigue, or external environmental burdens.

☀ Internal use: 1-2 teaspoons daily.

• Shake before use.
• You may increase the daily dose up to 4 tablespoons.

☀ Application to the skin:

1. Clean the skin surface: clean skin absorbs the oil better.
2. Slightly moisten the skin: the oil absorbs better if the skin is a little damp.
3. Warm it up in your palm: pour a little oil into your palm, then rub your hands together to slightly warm the oil.
4. Gently massage into the skin: give the oil time to absorb.

Storage: in its own bottle, in a dry, light-protected place, below 25 °C.

Warning: Made in a facility that processes nuts, peanuts, and eggs.

The physiological benefits and other facts about sea buckthorn seed oil

Cold-pressed sea buckthorn seed oil contains the plant’s bioactive compounds in the highest concentration. To produce 1 liter of seed oil, tens of thousands of sea buckthorn berries must be processed  - this explains why it is sometimes called “liquid gold,” not only because of its color but also its value.

Sea buckthorn seed oil is an excellent natural source of vitamin E. It is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins. It is an effective anti-inflammatory oil. Especially recommended for stomach and gut problems such as ulcers or irritations, and for dry, sensitive, or inflamed skin. Its antioxidants and vitamin E content may also support cardiovascular balance and help against high blood pressure.

The vitamin E, flavonoids, carotenoids, and phytosterols it contains have strong antioxidant effects that protect cells from oxidative stress. They stabilize cell membrane structure, improve microcirculation, and support natural immune defenses.

Sea buckthorn seed oil acts as a true “internal moisturizer,” which is especially beneficial for those living a stressful lifestyle.

Interestingly, while sea buckthorn berry oil is bright orange and has a strong flavor, the cold-pressed oil made from its seeds is lighter in color and has a much milder, nutty taste.

Sea buckthorn originates from Asia and was used in ancient Tibetan medicine, where it was called the “golden berry.”

In the Soviet Union, sea buckthorn extracts - including seed oil - were used as dietary supplements by astronauts and military pilots to enhance physical and mental endurance and improve oxygen uptake at high altitudes. This illustrates the value of this plant with adaptogenic and regenerative properties.
