How does Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil work chemically?
The material is a triglyceride-rich botanical lipid with unsaponifiables such as carotenoids, tocopherols, and phytosterols, and its fatty acid profile can include palmitoleic, oleic, linoleic, and alpha-linolenic acids depending on the fraction used. Typical use ranges are about 0.5% to 5% in emulsions and higher in anhydrous blends, with best stability in opaque, air-limited packaging plus an antioxidant because the colorants and unsaturated lipids are oxidation-sensitive.
