Omega 7 - Powerhouse

A deeply nourishing, vibrant oil traditionally valued for skin, eye and mucosal health, and especially supportive during times of dryness such as menopause. Rich, golden and potent, our sea buckthorn oil delivers rare omega fatty acids and protective phytonutrients in their most natural form.

Great for: caring for skin and eyes, supporting mucosal hydration, and easing dryness during menopause
Nutrient profile: exceptionally high in rare omega-7 fatty acids (37 g per 100 g), naturally occurring beta-carotene, tocopherols and a wide spectrum of phytonutrients
Flavour: mildly sweet, fruity and botanical
Why Erbology? Around 50 kg of fresh, nutrient-rich sea buckthorn berries go into every single litre of oil, sustainably sourced from small organic farmers in Eastern Europe

Top tip: take 20-40 drops neat, add to yoghurt or smoothies, or blend with a carrier oil and apply as a nourishing facial oil at night.
