Sea Buckthorn Oil

Anybody know who the best supplier is for this stuff. Looking for the oil for a topical and/or if there is a suitable non-toxic one................ would just grab the shampoo.

I wouldn't do it, I got the bar soap kind which was mostly seabuckthorn and really thinned out over it, and lost a lot of ground.

This is if you go the demodex route, I'd rather have the bugs in my hair and not get thinner hair from using seabuckthorn - works great everywhere else though, probably best for rashes and feet. Try it on arm/beard hair/pubes and see what it does first (seriously).

Why would SBT thin you out?... doesnt make sense

Oh, I don't know either. I tried it 5 years ago and again recently, and I was pist because it made it all crappy (yet again). You're welcome to try it out and see if it helps you though. I will tell you this, there's more stuff out there that thins your hair and causes hair loss than thickens it and prevents hair loss.

DM5 likes robots and stuff so I thought I'd help him out.

I personally loved Aubrey Organics Seabuckthorn Soap, but what one person uses may not work for another. Organic Seabuckthorn Oil from Mountain Rose Herbs is a good source.

Thanks. Think I may go with MRH

In recent years people have discovered the many potential benefits of antioxidants in the diet, and the pharmaceutical industry has raced to synthesize more and more powerful varieties of them. But in chasing new discoveries we have forgotten a time-honored natural source of antioxidants: Sea-Buckthorn berriesow gardening may save your life. (a personal story)
This is a story about my mother. She is 75 years old, and retired now, but she has always been fond of gardening.
Quite a few years ago, we had a problem in one part of our garden. The soil was very poor, and often it would blow all over the place. Nothing would grow there.
Eventually, a friend suggested we should try the Sea-Buckthorn bush, a hardy plant which grows in dry soil. We had to plant at least two bushes - male and female - to ensure a supply of berries, which (he said) had very healthful and even miraculous herbal properties. It sounded rather exotic, but we decided to try it; and it (they) seemed to thrive. It certainly lived up to its name - it had thorns enough to deter even the most thick-skinned buck. The bushes grew quite large, and every autumn we had a good crop of berries; but these were rather a disappointment. They looked pretty on the bush, oval-shaped and a bright orange colour. But it was difficult to harvest them and, after that, we couldn't really see what the fuss was about. They didn't have much flavour, and they weren't even particularly sweet. So in the end we left the bushes alone.
To return to my mother. About two years ago, she suddenly developed quite a sizeable skin-tumor, on the back of her neck. We begged her to see the doctor, but she wouldn't; she doesn't like to use medicines. At last, she remembered our friend's stories about the wonder-working berries, and decided to give them a try. So, every day, she applied an external compress of the pulped berries. And six months later, when I saw her again, I was quite amazed when she showed me that the tumor had completely gone!
