Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract

Summary

Antioxidant-rich fruit extract that helps hydrate and support the skin barrier.

Vitality in the formula

Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract sits in our formulas for one job: defending skin against everyday environmental stress. We file it under Antioxidant Defence in this glossary because that is the effect its evidence actually supports, not because it is the most flattering label available.

Vitality in the golden berry

The mechanism is the one stated in the summary above, and we have deliberately not extended it. Where a supplier or a competitor would reach for a bigger promise, the sentence we publish stops where the research stops.

Vitality in the evidence

Our source is a randomised controlled trial published in an indexed journal, recorded as Khan 2014 PMID 25362595. You can read it yourself at PubMed 25362595. We grade that as the strongest kind of evidence we recognise.

Vitality and its limits

The research behind Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract studies the ingredient, not the finished Opuliss product it sits in. It supports what Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract does. It is not a trial of our formula, and we will not present it as one.

Cosmetic claims describe how skin looks and feels. Nothing here is a medical claim, and nothing here treats a condition.
