When cosmeceutical partners with nutricosmetic, it allows customers to notice an immediate skin health improvement from the topical product, while the oral supplement provides a more profound and long-term revival.

The same study also examined the topical application of sea buckthorn oil and found a 31% increase in skin hydration, 22% increase in elasticity, and 4% reduction in wrinkles.[2]
Furthermore, a recent study confirmed Omega 7's anti-inflammation and wound healing properties.[3] Testimonials demonstrated that topical application of sea buckthorn oil is , anti-bacterial, anti-eczema, anti-viral, and promotes wound healing.[4] Omega 7 accounts for most self-sanitizing activity at the skin surface and has potential activity against the adhesion of C. Albicans to the skin. [5]
