ORGANIC Sea Buckthorn Pulp Oil

Organic Sea Buckthorn Berries

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a hardy, prickly plant with bright orange-red fruits. It is native to Nepal. The fruit, with its delicious berries, has long been native to Germany and is cultivated here.

The anti-ageing power of the sea buckthorn berry

Sea buckthorn oil from Ölmühle Solling is a sea buckthorn pulp oil, which means that it is not only cold-pressed from the seeds, but also from the pulp of fresh sea buckthorn berries. This preserves the valuable ingredients in their best form. These include the natural carotenoids that give the fruit its bright orange colour. Sea buckthorn pulp oil contains 39g of palmitoleic acid per 100g. This monounsaturated fatty acid is an important component of human skin lipids. This is why sea buckthorn oil is very popular as an anti-ageing skin care oil and for sun-stressed skin, for example.

Sea buckthorn oil has a very intense flavour and is bright orange in colour. It is therefore often mixed with other oils in recipes and cosmetics. It is excellent in fruit salads, yoghurt and muesli. It gives a strong fruity flavour to desserts.

Sea buckthorn pulp oil and sea buckthorn seed oil

The difference between sea buckthorn pulp oil and sea buckthorn seed oil, as the name suggests, is that the former is the extracted pulp of the sea buckthorn berry. Sea buckthorn seed oil, on the other hand, is cold-pressed from the dried seeds of the sea buckthorn berry.

The two oils also differ in taste, appearance and use: sea buckthorn pulp oil has a strong, very fruity taste and a bright orange-red colour. The oil is used for both culinary and cosmetic purposes. In comparison, sea buckthorn seed oil has a milder and less fruity taste. The colour of the oil is also less intense. The main difference is in the area of use: while sea buckthorn pulp oil is approved as a food, sea buckthorn seed oil is not a food and cannot be used internally.
