whatItIs

alternate names: hippophae rhamnoides

what it is: let’s start with the basics. the sea buckthorn plant (scientifically known as Hippophae Rhamnoides) is a small shrub that grows at high altitudes in the Northwest Himalayan Region. it faces some of the harshest environmental conditions on Earth and must fortify itself against the elements with a plethora of powerful nutrients. the shrub grows berries (aka the red berries you see above), leaves, and seeds which all contain said nutrient-rich benefits we love so much. there are several ways to use sea buckthorn (powders or extracts to name a couple) but at amika, we use the sea buckthorn fruit and seed oil in all our products.
