Around their forties, and often earlier, many women notice the emergence of brownish spots on their skin, known as "pigment spots." These spots are a result of localized hyperpigmentation, stemming from an overproduction of melanin (the pigment responsible for the skin's brown hue). They tend to develop in areas highly exposed to the sun, like the face, neckline, arms, shoulders, and hands. These spots create an illusion of premature aging.

 

Pigment spots can arise from skin tissue oxidation (linked to aging) or an accumulation of melanin in the epidermis due to factors such as hormonal imbalances, frequent sun exposure, genetic predispositions, and more. Under the compounding effects of UV exposure, pollution, and stress, melanocytes—cells responsible for melanin production—lose regulation and their activity becomes disrupted, resulting in an excessive melanin output. This surplus leads to irregular distribution, causing uneven pigmentation. These melanin-rich cells then rise to the skin's surface, manifesting as brown spots.

 

 

Renowned and used for centuries across Europe and Asia, sea buckthorn boasts a remarkable track record in both medicine and dermocosmetics. With an astonishing thirty times more vitamin C content than oranges, rare unsaturated fatty acids, and an extensive array of nutrients, it stands as one of the most nutritionally dense plants globally. Laden with antioxidants, carotenoids, phytosterols, vitamins A, C, and E, Omega 3-6-7-9, minerals, and polyphenols, sea buckthorn berries pack a potent punch.

 

A key player in reducing dark spots, sea buckthorn seed oil, abundant in carotenes and vitamin E, takes center stage. Consistent and prolonged application of this oil inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme pivotal in melanocyte production, thereby curbing dark spot formation.

 

The robust antioxidants—beta-carotenes and vitamin E—abundantly present in sea buckthorn seed oil synergize to shield skin cells from free radicals generated by external aggressors and UV rays, factors contributing to pigmentation issues. Moreover, this oil aids in preventing and mitigating sunburns by reducing skin sensitivity to UV rays.

 

Beyond its role in balancing skin tone and diminishing dark spots, the amalgamation of beta-carotenes and vitamin E within sea buckthorn seed oil combats skin aging, wrinkles, and imperfections, culminating in a more radiant complexion.
