Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil - 100% Pure Natural Sea Buckthorn Carrier Oil for Skin, Face, Nails & Hair - Soothing & Moisturizing - 50ml

I recently started using Gya Labs Organic Sunflower Oil, and it is a high quality, versatile product. Whilst it works well as a standalone moisturiser, I wanted to share my experience using it both on my face and in a DIY project. The oil is organic and unrefined, which is great for purity. It has a very pale, clear yellow colour and a light, subtle, nutty scent that is really neutral. It comes in an amber glass bottle, which is a good choice for seed oils, which go rancid quickly, especially when exposed to light. This oil did not irritate my dry, sensitive skin. It is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores. I use it regularly on my face and neck without any fear of causing breakouts, which is a common problem I have with heavier oils. When used alone, it provides a light and short-term barrier. I’ve found it improves moisture levels in the skin best when applied immediately to damp skin after a shower or wash. Despite the initial greasy feel upon application, it absorbs surprisingly quickly, leaving a soft finish rather than a slick residue. I also incorporated this sunflower oil into a homemade lotion bar recipe alongside cocoa and shea butters. I found it provides good slip to the lotion bars, enhancing spreadability. The final product has a noticeably greasier initial feel compared to bars I’ve previously made using jojoba oil, so that's something to keep in mind depending on your preference. However, I found that the high linoleic acid levels had a significantly more soothing effect on my skin, which made the slightly richer texture well worth it. This oil combines very well with the butters, creating a rich, effective, and calming solid moisturiser. Furthermore, because of its light feel and excellent slip, this oil would also be highly suitable for use as a carrier oil for massage. Given its gentle nature and purity, it is also suitable for use on babies’ delicate skin. Overall, if you're looking for a simple, natural, high-quality oil for direct use on acne-prone facial skin, blending into your own skincare creations, or as a carrier oil, I highly recommend this Gya Labs product. It delivers exactly what it promises.

Amazing product, been using it for three months now, my face feels renewed, revitalised and really healthy. Will recommend this purchase to anyone for sure,

This is - hands down - the best sea buckthorn oil I’ve found and used. It has TRANSFORMED my skin. Found I kept breaking out with other oils, but read that sea buckthorn was great for rosacea and blepharitis. Ordered from a different brand that was good but the oil was almost colourless and I knew sea buckthorn should be quite strong if it’s pure and cold pressed. After using this consistently for 6 months my skin looks amazing. So clear, so healthy and zero texture. Barely have any spots nowadays, not even around my time of the month. Colour evens out on the face leaving a very subtle golden glow before it sinks in - I love it. Honestly this is the best thing you can do for your skin and I am going to order other things from Gays labs as the quality is fantastic

Can’t comment on the anti ageing aspect but, this is a good oil. Not too greasy and absorbs well. Quite thick but spreads well. Used to use rosehip oil but my face would feel greasy all day which I didn’t like. My face feels very soothed after exfoliation and using this oil. Has a very earthy smell. Not the most appealing smell but it’s ok.

I used to buy my calendula oil in sweet almond oil but I haven't been able to find any in years, so mov d to olive oil calendula, and that is now being pushed aside for sunflower oil, which I don't like the smell of it and it feels greasy, and makes your clothes reek after washing if you get it on them. So I was very pleased to find this oil in olive oil. It arrived quickly, it comes packaged in a pretty box which itself it sealed in that heat shrink plastic ( which I am not a fan of). The oil has a wonderful unctuous consistency. The bottle states tye carrier oil ( olive oil) is organic. Tye colour is not as deep as some however it feels wonderful on the skin. I have two little patches of dry skin either side of my nose just next to my eyes. I use calendula oil directly on these and it keeps the dry skin at bay. Just one drop undiluted does tye trick . I also use calendula oil in my summer body oil I make for tye ladies in our Family and it works wonders in keeping elbows, knees and tootsie's soft and smooth. There are lots of uses for calendula oil, directly believe it is anti fungal, anti bacterial and anti inflammatory, if you Google it I am sure it will give you all tye relevant things it is good for however I can attest to using for my family for over 30 years, and although it is my first time buying this brand I am very happy with it. It also doesn't have a strong smell, which is excellent. As I mentioned I find the calendula in sunflower oil to reek like a chippy so reccomend checking what oil your calendula is in. Why is it in another oil? As far as I understand it, calendula ( marigolds) are not pressed to release the oil, it doesn't come from the seeds, no. It is a process of maceration, which means popping the flowers in oil and then liquidising, and then it sits to be aged as tye mushed up flowers release their goodness into the oil used. It makes the oil go orange. At least that is what I believe is the case, as I tried to find some without carrier oil when the industry stopped offering sweet almond as an option, and then found out the above, if I have remembered correctly. So essentially, the oil is like a solvent, absorbing the good phytonutrients from the flowers... I think.

I love it, amazing for my skin

The prickly pear oil feels good on my skin and leaves it soft. But the smell is not for me. Comes in nice packaging

High quality, a little goes a long way.
