Sea buckthorn extract

Sea buckthorn extract (CAS 90106-68-6), also sourced and traded as Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil and Hippophae rhamnoides extract, is derived from the berries, leaves, or seeds of the shrub. It delivers concentrated antioxidant activity and natural pigmentation.

Formulators across food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical sectors rely on this ingredient for functional performance. In nutraceutical and dietary supplement manufacturing, it supplies a naturally dense profile of carotenoids and tocopherols.

These flavonoids support antioxidant-positioned finished products. Food and beverage producers use it as a natural flavoring and acidulant in functional drinks, fruit preparations, and fortified foods where a tart berry character is required.

Cosmetic and personal care formulators incorporate it into serums, creams, and lip products for its moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties. It is particularly effective in anti-aging and barrier-repair product lines.

Pharmaceutical applications include inclusion in soft gels and standardized botanical preparations targeting oxidative stress. The extract is available as a liquid oil, dry powder, and concentrated juice or paste depending on the source.

Common supply grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade, with standardized extracts specifying carotenoid or flavonoid content. Organic-certified material is commercially available for suppliers serving clean-label markets.
