Tindved: Den nordiske superfrukten for hud og helse

Sea buckthorn: The Nordic superfruit for skin and health

May 02, 2025William Lente

Sea buckthorn – also known as sea buckthorn – is one of nature’s most nutritious berries. These small, orange fruits grow in harsh Nordic environments and contain a rare combination of fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. Sea buckthorn is particularly known for its effects on skin health, immune system and cell renewal – and is a valuable ingredient in several of Chagit’s liquid extracts.


What is sea buckthorn?

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a berry shrub that grows along the coast and in mountainous areas. The berries have been used in folk medicine for generations and are full of:

  • Vitamins C and E – support the immune system and skin

  • Omega-3, 6, 7 and 9 – unique content that contributes to cell renewal

  • Flavonoids and carotenoids – powerful antioxidants with protective effects

Sea buckthorn is one of the few plants that contains omega-7 , a fatty acid that is particularly beneficial for the skin's elasticity, moisture balance and repair ability.


5 benefits of sea buckthorn

1. Improves skin elasticity and glow

Omega-7 and antioxidants strengthen the skin barrier, reduce dryness and contribute to a healthy, even skin tone.

2. Supports the immune system

The high content of vitamin C (up to 10x more than oranges) provides natural support for the body's defense mechanisms.

3. Promotes cell renewal

Essential fatty acids and antioxidants support the body in repairing tissues and protecting cells from oxidative stress.

4. Good for mucous membranes and intestinal health

Omega-7 contributes to healthy mucous membranes, both in the digestive system and the respiratory tract.

5. Natural anti-inflammatory effect

Sea buckthorn can help reduce inflammation, both in the skin and internal organs.
