Hippophae Rhamnoides Extract is obtained by using the berries of Hippophae rhamnoides ( generally referred to as sea buckthorn ), a robust shrub, which is indigenous to Europe and Asia. Its extraction is usually carried out using sophisticated techniques like solvent extraction, supercritical CO2 extraction, or cold pressing so as to maintain its bioactive compounds. Its main active ingredients are flavonoids (quercetin and kaempferol), vitamins (vitamin C and E), carotenoids, and omega fatty acids (omega-3, -6, -7, and 9). These are synergistic compounds that give it a strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-nourishing effect. The most remarkable activities of the extract concern the health of the skin barrier, collagen production stimulation, hydration, and antioxidant defense against environmental aggressions such as UV. Its future is considered bright due to the rising demand of consumers for natural ingredients, sustainable ingredients, as well as multi-functional ingredients. New extract technologies are looking to increase bioavailability and to broaden their areas of application, especially in clean-label formulas.
