Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) Berry Extract
Sea buckthorn berry CO2 supercritical extract is a concentrated source of omega-7 palmitoleic acid, carotenoids (β-carotene, lycopene, zeaxanthin), tocopherols (vitamins C and E), and flavonoids that deliver potent skin regeneration, wound healing, and anti-inflammatory activity in cosmetic and nutraceutical applications. The extract is standardized to carotenoids ≥0.3% and is produced without solvent residues via supercritical CO2 extraction. The characteristic deep orange color reflects the high carotenoid content.
