Product Overview
General Health Bio-science provides premium, raw botanical ingredients for global pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and personal care manufacturers. Derived from wild, small-fruit sea buckthorn berries (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) harvested directly from our 200,000-mu dedicated Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau base, our Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil is extracted using low-temperature physical centrifugation. This clean separation process preserves the maximum bioactivity of Omega-7 (Palmitoleic Acid), essential fatty acids, and natural carotenoids without chemical solvents.

Core Product Advantages
- Ultra-High Natural Omega-7 Content:Contains 20% to 42% Palmitoleic Acid (C16:1), significantly outperforming standard plant oil omega profiles to support cellular repair and systemic mucosal health.
- 100% Pure Physical Cold Separation:Extracted cleanly from fleshy berry pulp through high-speed centrifugation—requiring approximately 300,000 wild berries per 1 kg of oil—without hexane or harsh processing.
- Full-Spectrum Bioactive Lipids:Naturally packed with lipid-soluble carotenoids (giving the oil its deep amber-red hue) and natural Vitamin E for inherent antioxidant protection.
- Full Traceability & High-Altitude Sourcing:Sourced from unpolluted, high-altitude plateaus ensuring extremely low heavy metal and pesticide residue profile.
Research & References
Analytical testing shows that Palmitic acid (C16:0) and Palmitoleic acid (C16:1) comprise the dominant lipid matrix of our fruit oil, each accounting for over 30% of total fatty acids. Linoleic acid (18:2) is the third most abundant fatty acid, followed by cis-vaccenic acid (18:1 c11). Stearic acid (18:0), oleic acid (18:1 c9), and α-linolenic acid (18:3) are present in trace amounts.[1]
Key Preclinical Research Findings
- Dermatological Repair & Wound Healing:Studies demonstrate that high-concentration Omega-7 derived from sea buckthorn oil activates keratinocyte migration, accelerating skin wound closure and tissue recovery[2].
- Anti-Inflammatory & Mucosal Barrier Support:Preclinical models highlight the systemic anti-inflammatory pathways of sea buckthorn lipids, offering targeted support for skin conditions (e.g., psoriasis) and internal mucous membrane lining health.[3]
- Cardiovascular & Ischemic Protection:Studies indicate that sea buckthorn pulp oil attenuates myocardial ischemic-reperfusion injury in a dose-dependent manner by modulating Akt/eNOS signaling pathways, pointing to significant cardioprotective potential[4].

Suggested Applications
- Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements:Encapsulated into high-end softgels, liquid drop formulas, and oral tinctures for metabolic health, dry eye support, and mucosal barrier repair.
- Personal Care & Topical Cosmetics:Formulated into barrier-repair facial serums, anti-inflammatory creams, and lip care products to accelerate skin recovery and boost elasticity.
FAQ
Q1: What is the key difference between Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil and Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil?
A1: Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil (Pulp Oil) is extracted from the fleshy berry pulp and is exceptionally rich in Omega-7 (Palmitoleic Acid, 20%–42%), Omega-9, and carotenoids. It is targeted for mucosal health, cellular repair, and skin barrier protection. Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil is extracted from seeds, contains zero-to-trace Omega-7, and is dominated by Omega-3 (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) and Omega-6 (Linoleic Acid) in a balanced 1:1 ratio.
Q2: How is your Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil processed, and how do you protect heat-sensitive Omega-7 fatty acids and bioactive carotenoids?
A2: Our manufacturing process avoids harsh chemical solvents like hexane:
- Sourcing:Wild, small-fruit sea buckthorn berries harvested directly from our high-altitude Qinghai Tibetan Plateau base, minimizing contamination risks.
- Extraction:Low-temperature physical high-speed centrifugation (cold extraction) cleanly separates the pulp oil from fruit juice, preserving the full spectrum of natural bioactive compounds.
Q3: What is the shelf life and recommended storage condition?
A3: When stored in unopened original containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, the shelf life is 24 months.
