There is a lot of confusion and ambiguity surrounding many of the Sea Buckthorn oils on the market and in skincare formulations. In addition to the points we mentioned in our previous blog, there is another common misconception: Essential oil of Sea Buckthorn. We’ve seen this “ingredient” listed on some supplier sites and in several skincare formulations—interesting, since currently, there is no such thing as a true Sea Buckthorn Essential oil on the market. Both Sea Buckthorn fruit oil and Sea Buckthorn seed oil are actually Carrier oils. So what is the difference between a Carrier oil and an Essential oil and why is it important to differentiate between the two? Because Essential oils and Carrier oils are completely different “oil” types, with completely different structures and uses, and are obtained in completely different ways.

Mont Echo Naturels is the first company in North America to commercially extract our own Supercritical Sea Buckthorn Seed and Fruit oils ourselves, onsite, from Canadian-grown fruit. Sea Buckthorn oils are very difficult to extract and require care and specialized processes to ensure a pure, unspoiled product. Oils extracted supercritically are very pure and highly concentrated, and Supercritical extraction is a modern, environmentally-friendly and safe method of extraction.
