Seabuckthorn CO2
Seabuckthorn CO2-
From sun-drenched cliffs where sea meets earth, Seabuckthorn CO₂ emerges as a vivid golden nectar—ancient, luminous, & utterly alive. Its scent is unexpected: not floral, not green, but deep & fruity, like crushed amber berries warmed by the salt-kissed wind. It is both wild & wise—ripened by resilience, born of wind-blown coasts & enduring roots.
There is something elemental in its aroma: a tender earthiness, a sun-ripened fruit note, & a skin-like warmth that feels bodily and sacred. It wraps the senses like golden oil across bare skin—a scent of healing, nourishment, & the fierce beauty of survival. It doesn’t shout. It glows.
This is plant medicine from the edge of the world—meant not only to repair the skin, but to restore the self.

Topical Use
Dilution recommended:

Pulp CO₂: Use at 1–3% due to its potency, strong pigment, & higher acidity
Skin Sensitivity:
Generally non-irritating and non-sensitizing when properly diluted.
Pulp extract may cause temporary orange staining of the skin or clothing due to its high beta-carotene content.
Patch test recommended, especially with the pulp extract.
