Products Description
Premium Sea Buckthorn Extract Powder | Rich in Omega-7, Vitamin C & Carotenoids | Food, Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Grade
Our Sea Buckthorn Extract Powder is a nutrient-dense natural ingredient derived from the berries and seeds of Hippophae rhamnoides (sea buckthorn), a plant renowned for its exceptional concentration of bioactive compounds. Using a gentle cold-press extraction process followed by low-temperature spray drying, we preserve the full spectrum of nutrients-including omega-7 fatty acids (palmitoleic acid), vitamin C, carotenoids, and antioxidants-without compromising their bioactivity. This fine, orange to red powder is soluble in both water and oils, making it versatile for diverse formulations. Free from synthetic additives, heavy metals, and solvent residues, our extract meets strict global standards (USP, EP, FCC) and is trusted by nutraceutical, food, and cosmetic industries worldwide for its consistent quality and nutritional potency.

Quality Control Measures
- Raw Material Testing: Every batch of sea buckthorn berries and seeds is tested for vitamin C (≥1200mg/100g), omega-7 precursors, and contaminants (pesticides via GC-MS, heavy metals via ICP-MS) before processing. Only ripe, undamaged fruits are accepted.
- In-Process Monitoring: Extraction temperature (≤40°C), blending ratios (berry:seed = 7:3), and drying parameters are continuously tracked to preserve heat-sensitive nutrients like vitamin C and omega-7.
- Final Batch Testing:
- HPLC for vitamin C and carotenoid content; GC-FID for omega-7 fatty acids (≥15%).
- Microbial testing (USP <61>) to ensure absence of pathogens (E. coli, Salmonella).
- Oxidation stability testing (40°C/75% RH for 3 months) to confirm 24-month shelf life.
- Documentation: Each batch includes a detailed COA with nutrient profiles, traceability report (from harvest to finished product), and compliance certificates (GMP, Organic, FSC).
Product advantages
- Nutrient-Rich Profile: Naturally high in omega-7 (≥15%), vitamin C (≥1000mg/100g), and carotenoids-offering synergistic health benefits unmatched by single-nutrient ingredients.
- Dual-Source Extraction: Derived from both sea buckthorn berries and seeds, capturing nutrients from the entire fruit (vs. berry-only extracts).
- Gentle Processing: Cold-press extraction + low-temperature drying (≤50°C) preserves heat-sensitive compounds like vitamin C and fatty acids.
- Dual Solubility: Dissolves in both water and oils, making it ideal for liquid supplements, solid formulations, and topical products.
- Sustainable Sourcing: Harvested from wild or organic sea buckthorn bushes in pollution-free regions (Mongolia, Tibet), with eco-friendly harvesting practices.
Product Applications
Our Sea Buckthorn Extract Powder is a versatile ingredient across industries, leveraging its unique blend of fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants:
- Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements:
A key ingredient in "skin health" and "immune support" supplements, thanks to omega-7's role in supporting mucosal health and vitamin C's antioxidant properties. Formulated into capsules, tablets, and powder blends for "joint health," "cardiovascular support," and "collagen synthesis" products. Often paired with hyaluronic acid for skin-nourishing formulations or omega-3s for balanced fatty acid profiles.
- Functional Foods & Beverages:
Added to smoothies, energy bars, fruit juices, and plant-based yogurts to boost nutritional content with natural vitamins and fatty acids. Enhances color and flavor in "superfood blends" and "wellness drinks"-its mild tartness complements citrus and berry flavors. Used in "anti-aging" food lines and sports nutrition products for sustained energy support.
- Cosmetics & Skincare:
Integrated into facial serums, moisturizers, and lip balms for its omega-7 content, which supports skin hydration and barrier function. Used in "repairing" skincare lines to soothe dry, irritated skin and reduce signs of aging. Added to hair care products (shampoos, conditioners) to nourish follicles and improve shine. Compatible with water-based gels, oil-based creams, and sunscreens.
- Pharmaceutical Formulations:
Included in topical ointments for wound healing and oral formulations targeting dryness-related conditions (e.g., dry eye, mucosal irritation), supported by research on sea buckthorn's anti-inflammatory properties.
