A bright orange berry
with a long history
Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a bright orange berry that grows on a thorny shrub in cold climates across Europe and Asia. It's been used in traditional medicine for centuries, and is now recognised as one of the most nutrient-dense berries on earth, with over 190 bioactive compounds in one small berry.
Two things make it stand out. First, it's a rare plant source of Omega-7, a fatty acid most people only get from fish. Second, it's genuinely nutrient-dense: Vitamins A, C and E, all four omegas (3, 6, 7 and 9), plus carotenoids, flavonoids and polyphenols, all in one berry.
Skin hydration and elasticity
from a nutrient almost never found in plants
Omega-7 is usually sourced from fish oil. It's rarely found in plants at all. It's one of the fatty acids present in the body's mucosal linings, including skin. Sea Buckthorn is one of the few plant exceptions, naturally rich in it.
The whole berry.
Nothing extracted.
Most sea buckthorn is sold as an oil capsule. Check the ingredients on most of them and you'll find sunflower or soybean oil listed first or second: cheap filler oils used to bulk out the capsule. You're paying for sea buckthorn and getting mostly filler.
Extraction loses more than that, too. Oil only captures the fat-soluble compounds. You lose the Vitamin C (sea buckthorn is one of the richest natural sources), the polyphenols, the flavonoids and the fibre.
Ours is 100% crushed berry, dried raw, nothing added. The fibre, flavonoids and fatty acids stay together, along with vitamin E, carotenoids and other naturally occurring plant compounds: the whole nutrient matrix, fat-soluble and water-soluble, as nature made it.
Nutrients your skin
can actually use
An oil or capsule only gives you one of these. The whole berry gives you all of them, together.
Why whole berry, not oil? True to how we do things at The Seed Cycle, we chose the whole crushed berry, not an isolated oil or supplement. Real food, not an extract. Sea buckthorn is also attracting real scientific interest for its role in skin and mucosal health, most of it looking at the oil form. We chose the whole berry because that's always been our approach.

A daily food-based ritual: flax and pumpkin seeds in the first half of your cycle, sesame and sunflower in the second, timed to your hormonal rhythm or the lunar calendar. One scoop a day, added to any meal.
One extra teaspoon, no new ritual
Seed cycling gives you the fibre, healthy fats and key minerals from flax, pumpkin, sesame and sunflower. Sea Buckthorn adds what those seeds don't: Omega-7 and skin-loving nutrients, stirred into the same daily scoop you already have. Want gut health covered too? Add Gut Fibre to the same ritual.

Questions, answered
Why is this better than sea buckthorn oil or capsules?
Oil and capsules only capture the pressed fatty fraction. Ours is the whole crushed berry, so fibre, flavonoids and fatty acids stay together.
Is this ACO certified organic, like your other products?
Not yet. We source pure, organic sea buckthorn from a farm in Europe. Nothing added, nothing processed beyond crushing and drying, but the farm itself hasn't completed Australian Certified Organic approval. As soon as it does, or if we find an ACO-certified supplier that meets our standards, we'll update this page.
Do I need to be seed cycling to use this?
No. It works on its own, or stirred into your Seed Cycle scoop each day.
What does it taste like?
Very mild, with a little natural sweetness, not sharp or overpowering. Easy to stir into yoghurt or a smoothie without changing the flavour much.
Is this better than sea buckthorn juice?
Juice loses the fibre and concentrates the sugars, plus it oxidises quickly once opened and needs refrigeration. Our dried powder is shelf-stable, keeps the fibre, and has no added sugar. The whole berry in its most concentrated, stable form.
Who is this for?
Anyone wanting a natural, wholefood source of rare Omega-7 and Vitamin C, without the fillers found in most capsule supplements. Also popular with women in perimenopause and menopause as a wholefood addition to their diet. Always worth a conversation with your healthcare provider about what's right for you.
Gut Fibre or Sea Buckthorn, which should I buy?
Both, if you can. They do different things: Gut Fibre is for gut health and regularity, Sea Buckthorn is for skin and nutrient density. Different needs, same daily scoop.
Is there any filler in this?
No. 100% crushed berry, nothing added, nothing bulked out.
