Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil

1. Introduction

Sea-buckthorn oil was extracted from either the seeds or the pulp of the fruit of sea-buckthorn,which identifies a group of species in the gnus Hippophae. Oils from sea-buckthorn seeds and pulp differ considerably in fatty acid composition. While linoleic aci and a-linolenic acid are the major fatty acids in seed oil, sea buckthorn pulp oil contains approximately 65% combined of the monounsaturated fatty acid, palmitoleic acid, and the saturated fatty acid, palmitic acid.

Sea buckthorn oil is also used as a natural agent that may benefit diseases of mucous membranes including aphthous ulcers, esophagitis, acid reflux, and peptic ulcers, as well as dermatological diseases and skin conditions. However, more evidence is required to support these claims.
