Two Powerful Forms, One Superfruit
Sea Buckthorn oil is one of the most nutrient-dense natural oils on the planet — rich in Omega 3, 6, 7, and 9 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fat-soluble vitamins. At Berryessence, we offer it in two convenient forms: Nourishing Oil (topical and internal use) and Oil Capsules (internal supplement).
Both are made from premium Ladakh-sourced Sea Buckthorn. But which one is right for you? Here's a clear breakdown.
Sea Buckthorn Nourishing Oil: Best For Skin & Hair
Our cold-extracted Sea Buckthorn Nourishing Oil is a high-purity oil that can be used both topically on skin and hair, and internally as a supplement.
Best for you if:
- You want visible skin and hair benefits — hydration, glow, repair
- You have dry, dull, or ageing skin
- You're dealing with hair thinning, scalp dryness, or lack of shine
- You want a versatile product that works inside and out
- You prefer a pure, unprocessed oil form
How to use topically:
- Apply 2–3 drops to clean face at night as a serum
- Mix a few drops into your moisturiser or hair oil
- Apply directly to dry patches, cuticles, or scalp
How to use internally:
- Take 1 teaspoon (5ml) daily, mixed into a smoothie, juice, or warm water
- Best taken with a meal for optimal absorption

Sea Buckthorn Oil Capsules: Best For Internal Wellness
Our Oil Capsules deliver a precise, measured dose of Sea Buckthorn oil in an easy-to-swallow form — ideal for those who want the internal health benefits without the taste or mess of liquid oil.
Best for you if:
- You want to support heart health, immunity, and digestion from within
- You prefer a no-fuss, travel-friendly supplement
- You dislike the strong taste of Sea Buckthorn oil
- You want a consistent, measured daily dose
- You're focused on long-term internal wellness rather than topical benefits
How to use:
- Take 1–2 capsules daily with a meal
- Best taken consistently for at least 4–6 weeks to see full benefits
