Some beauty oils are all about moisture.
Others are loved for their versatility.
Sea Buckthorn Oil is often celebrated for something else entirely: its naturally vibrant nutrient profile.
Rich in naturally occurring essential fatty acids, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C, Sea Buckthorn Oil has become a favorite among those looking to support healthy-looking skin and add a little extra nourishment to their beauty routine.
Leven Rose Sea Buckthorn Oil is made from one simple ingredient: 100% pure, organic, cold-pressed Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil. No fillers, fragrances, alcohol, or unnecessary additives—just pure oil in its natural state.
Whether you're looking to add moisture to your skincare routine, improve the appearance of dull skin, or support healthier-looking hair, here's everything you need to know.
What Is Sea Buckthorn Oil?
Sea Buckthorn Oil is extracted from the seeds of the Sea Buckthorn plant (Hippophae rhamnoides).
Leven Rose Sea Buckthorn Oil is cold-pressed and unrefined, helping preserve the naturally occurring nutrients found within the oil.
Because it is minimally processed, the oil retains its natural color, texture, and characteristics without the use of fillers or synthetic ingredients.
What Does "Cold-Pressed" Mean?
Cold pressing is a method of extracting oil without exposing it to excessive heat.
This process helps preserve the naturally occurring components found within the oil while maintaining quality and freshness.
Once extracted, the oil is bottled to help protect its natural integrity.
Why Choose Unrefined Sea Buckthorn Oil?
Unrefined oils undergo minimal processing, allowing them to retain their natural composition.
Leven Rose Sea Buckthorn Oil contains no added fragrances, parabens, alcohol, or fillers.
By keeping the oil in its natural state, customers receive a pure, single-ingredient product that can easily be incorporated into skincare and hair care routines.

How to Use Sea Buckthorn Oil on Your Face
Sea Buckthorn Oil can be used as part of both morning and evening skincare routines.
Step 1: Cleanse
Start with freshly cleansed skin.
Removing dirt, makeup, and excess oil helps prepare the skin for better absorption.
Step 2: Apply Toner (Optional)
If toner is part of your routine, apply it after cleansing.
Products like Moroccan Rose Water Toner or 24K Gold Rose Water Toner can help lightly hydrate the skin before applying facial oils.
Step 3: Apply Sea Buckthorn Oil
Place 2–4 drops into your palms and gently press the oil into your face and neck.
Allow the oil to absorb before applying additional products.
Step 4: Moisturizer (Optional)
Depending on your skin type, you may choose to follow with a moisturizer.
Step 5: Apply SPF During the Day
If using Sea Buckthorn Oil in your morning routine, finish with sunscreen.
Sea Buckthorn Oil can be part of a daily skincare routine, but it should not replace dedicated sun protection.
Morning vs. Evening Use
One of the best things about Sea Buckthorn Oil is its versatility.
Morning Use
Apply after toner and before sunscreen to help provide lightweight moisture throughout the day.
Evening Use
Many customers enjoy applying Sea Buckthorn Oil as the final step in their nighttime skincare routine to help lock in moisture overnight.
Some use it only at night, while others incorporate it into both morning and evening routines.
How to Use Sea Buckthorn Oil for Hair
Sea Buckthorn Oil can also be incorporated into your hair care routine.
Scalp Treatment
Apply a small amount directly to the scalp and gently massage using your fingertips.
Allow the oil to sit for at least 30 minutes before shampooing.
Leave-In Hair Treatment
Rub a small amount between your palms and apply lightly to the ends of your hair.
This can help improve softness and add shine.
Pre-Wash Hair Treatment
Apply to the scalp and lengths before wash day and rinse thoroughly during your regular shampoo routine.
Beyond Skin and Hair Care
Sea Buckthorn Oil can be used in several additional ways.
Neck and Décolletage
Extend your skincare routine beyond your face by applying a few drops to your neck and chest.
Dry Areas
Apply to elbows, knees, hands, or other areas that need additional moisture.
