L’Argousier : Une pépite naturelle pour le bien-être

L’argousier ou arbuste Hippophae Rhamnoides

L’histoire de l’argousier et de ses fruits

L’argousier est un arbuste épineux originaire d’Europe, en particulier des Alpes et d’Europe du Nord. On le retrouve également en Asie. De son petit nom scientifique Hippophae Rhamnoides, sa propension à s’implanter dans un sol particulièrement pauvre est remarquable. Les argousiers ont également une capacité à évoluer dans des conditions climatiques sévères. Leur feuillage résiste à des températures allant jusqu’à -30C° en hiver ! De là à imaginer que la composition hors normes de ce petit fruit coloré constitue la source de sa résilience, il n’y a qu’un pas… Que les médecines ancestrales ont franchi il y a des millénaires de cela ! 

Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Ayurvedic medicines, as well as populations from the northernmost regions of Europe, incorporate sea buckthorn berries into their treatments:

  • Skin disorders,
  • L’irritation des muqueuses,
  • Digestive disorders,
  • Painful periods,
  • Cardiovascular disorders...

La baie d’argousier est également utilisée comme fortifiant depuis des siècles. Sa richesse en nutriments était extrêmement valorisée notamment en période de famine et de privation. La médecine vétérinaire n’est pas en reste. Dans l’Antiquité grecque, les feuilles et les rameaux étaient mélangés à l’alimentation des chevaux pour accélérer leur prise de poids et donner un éclat particulier à leur pelage. Toutefois les bienfaits les plus caractéristiques de la baie concernent la beauté de la peau.

Botanical characteristics

L’argousier, Hippophae Rhamnoides, est une plante pionnière. Elle ne doit pas être confondue avec l’arbousier. Si leurs noms sont très proches, les propriétés de ces deux plantes diffèrent. L’argousier est facilement reconnaissable à ses baies orange vif et à ses feuilles étroites et argentées. De très petites fleurs jaunes apparaissent en mars. Ces fleurs minuscules et sans pétales complexifient la distinction entre la plante mâle et la plante femelle. Les rameaux des plantes mâles sont plus dressés que les plantes femelles dont le feuillage s’étend davantage en largeur. Ce ne sont pourtant pas les fleurs, mais bien l’apparition de ses fruits qui rendent les argousiers spectaculaires.

Leur floraison débute à la fin de l’hiver, un moment où les insectes pollinisateurs sont encore absents. La pollinisation de ces plantes dépend alors principalement du vent. Lorsque vous cultivez des pieds d’argousier dans votre jardin, il est essentiel de procéder à une sélection de plantes mâles à installer à proximité des femelles. Vous faciliterez ainsi le processus de reproduction, ce qui est nécessaire puisque la période de floraison est courte.

Ces arbustes épineux peuvent, selon leur espèce, atteindre jusqu’à 6 mètres de haut. Parmi les variétés les plus connues, la variété l’Inermis, la Leikora, le friesdorfer ou encore l’Indian Summer. Chaque type de variété présente des propriétés qui lui sont propres. À la Maison de l’Argousier notre sélection s’est portée sur la variété Clara pour ses caractéristiques naturelles.

L’épine de l’argousier est très piquante ce qui permet de constituer une haie particulièrement infranchissable. Les rameaux sont particulièrement résistants aux conditions climatiques rudes et aux sols pauvres. Ils exigeront simplement des sols bien drainés. Ils peuvent également supporter une plantation en pot dans un jardin plutôt qu’en pleine terre. La culture en pot ne permettra toutefois pas l’extension des racines comme en pleine terre, et le développement sera limité. Comme tout type de plantes, l’Hippophae Rhamnoides appréciera quelques rayons de soleil.

A branch of sea buckthorn

Cette plante pionnière est non seulement un régal pour les yeux, mais aussi un élément vital pour les écosystèmes auxquels il appartient. Les pieds d’argousier sont réputés pour leur rôle dans la stabilisation du sol, grâce à son réseau racinaire largement étendu sous la terre. La plantation peut alors prendre la forme d’une haie. Cette caractéristique est particulièrement précieuse dans les régions arides ou montagneuses, comme dans les Alpes. Ses racines profondes encouragent également la croissance de micro-organismes qui améliorent en l’espèce la fertilité du sol. 

Le feuillage dense de l’argousier offre un habitat et une source de nutriments essentielle à de nombreuses espèces animales. Les baies, très nutritives, sont vitales pour les oiseaux ou les insectes locaux, aidant à la pollinisation et à la dispersion des semences. Très résistants aux températures extrêmes, les fruits de l’argousier constituent parfois l’unique source de nourriture des oiseaux locaux en automne et en hiver.

Les bienfaits de l’argousier

A remarkable composition

Les baies d’argousier sont exceptionnellement riches en vitamine C. Une petite baie, pas beaucoup plus grosse qu’un petit pois, en contient 15 fois plus qu’une orange !

Nous pouvons également citer la présence formidable du bêtacarotène, précurseur de la vitamine A et du rétinol. Vous pensiez que la carotte était le meilleur vecteur de bêtacarotène ? Que nenni, les fruits de l’argousier en sont 10 fois plus concentrés qu’une carotte !

Berries are also very rich in vitamin E. This powerful antioxidant is 4 times more present in sea buckthorn oil than in sunflower oil! 

And what about its Omega 7 content? Only 4 fruits in the world contain them, but the sea buckthorn berry has 20 times the concentration of its cousins. You may ask, what is Omega 7 used for? Well, they're simply the closest natural component to human sebum! 

In addition to these 4 ingredients, sea buckthorn berries contain numerous vitamins and trace elements: omegas 6 and 9, polyphenols, malic acid and even... natural hyaluronic acid!

The health benefits of sea buckthorn

While its reputation has been forged over the centuries, modern science is now studying the benefits of sea buckthorn. The literature points to skin repair and regeneration, as well as beneficial effects on the immune and cardiovascular systems. Some scientific studies support the view that sea buckthorn berries can play a significant role in the prevention of chronic diseases, thanks to their powerful antioxidant properties. 

L’argousier a ainsi été utilisé par les athlètes olympiques ainsi que par les cosmonautes russes pour ses propriétés régénératives. Nous retrouvons également des témoignages de son utilisation médicale, notamment pour traiter les blessures des soldats pendant la guerre d’Afghanistan ou pour soulager les victimes de Tchernobyl.

The health benefits of sea buckthorn

L’utilisation de l’argousier

Dans l’alimentation

Les baies sont utilisées dans la fabrication de jus, de confitures et même de certains plats cuisinés. Leur goût unique et leurs propriétés nutritives en font un ingrédient prisé. Les feuilles sont, elles aussi, utilisées, notamment pour ses propriétés stimulantes sur le système immunitaire ainsi que pour ses effets anti-inflammatoires, antiviraux et antioxydants. Les feuilles d’argousier sont alors infusées et consommées à la manière d’une tisane.

Its formidable cosmetic power

De plus en plus d’applications cosmétiques naissent aujourd’hui à la lueur des analyses scientifiques qui ont démontré les vertus remarquables de la baie d’argousier. L’huile extraite des baies et des graines est hautement valorisée en cosmétique. Ses propriétés régénératives sur la peau aident en effet à traiter et prévenir les lésions cutanées, les brûlures et les éruptions. Elle hydrate en profondeur et contribue à réduire les signes du vieillissement​​.

Il convient ici de distinguer trois éléments issus de l’argousier :

  • l’huile obtenue à partir des pépins de la baie
  • that obtained from pulp 
  • et enfin l’eau que produit la baie

[pub_produit]

Sea buckthorn seed oil

Sea buckthorn seed oil contains a high level of unsaturated fatty acids, which boost cell renewal and improve skin appearance. They also help reinforce the skin's hydrolipidic film, while preserving the moisture content of the upper layers of the epidermis.

Oil extracted from the fruit pulp

The orange oil obtained from the flesh of the sea buckthorn berry is very rich in beta-carotene and palmitoleic acid. It offers effective protection against free radicals, notably the sun. It helps combat the signs of aging. In particular, palmitoleic acid promotes the renewal of damaged cells. 

Users also appreciate the oil's natural orange color, which instantly gives a healthy glow.

L’eau de la baie d’argousier

C’est dans l’eau de l’argousier que l’on retrouve en particulier l’extraordinaire concentration en vitamine C. L’acide malique est également très présent et apprécié pour son efficacité sur les phénomènes inflammatoires de la peau.

Sea buckthorn

Food supplements and pharmaceutical specialties

Compte tenu de sa composition exceptionnelle, les fruits de l’Hippophae Rhamnoides sont également utilisés dans la production de compléments alimentaires et de produits pharmaceutiques. 

La Chine a identifié le potentiel de cette plante. On y trouve à l’heure actuelle 300 000 hectares d’arbustes plantés et le pays produit plus de 200 références qui en contiennent.

The sea buckthorn berries in La Maison de l'Argousier products do not come from China. They come from our own plantation. Our shrubs are grown under organic farming methods. Our oil is produced using methods that best respect the active ingredients it contains. All our products are made in France using natural ingredients.

La récolte des baies de l’argousier est souvent manuelle, bien que des méthodes mécanisées soient en développement pour répondre à la demande croissante.

Les baies d’argousier : des graines de star !

L’argousier, Hippophae Rhamnoides, est bien plus qu’un simple arbuste capable de s’implanter sur des sols pauvres grâce à des racines profondes ; c’est une source inestimable de nutriments. Sa popularité croissante témoigne de son potentiel à jouer un rôle clé dans notre quête de bien-être, de beauté et de santé au naturel.

Sea buckthorn, a treasure for biodiversity

L’argousier, est bien plus qu’un simple arbuste : c’est une plante fascinante qui a toute sa place dans la préservation de la biodiversité !

L’argousier, également connu sous le nom d’Hippophae, est une espèce végétale qui prospère dans les régions tempérées à froides, et les zones montagneuses. Ses feuilles, d’un vert argenté, et ses baies orange vif sont un régal pour les yeux. Toutefois l’argousier est également un trésor vital pour les écosystèmes auxquels il appartient.

L’argousier est reconnu pour sa capacité à fixer les sols grâce. Son système racinaire étendu limite les phénomènes d’érosion. Ses racines profondes permettent en outre le développement de micro-organismes qui favorisent la fertilité des sols.

[pub_produit]

Les arbustes d’argousier sont denses, et servent ainsi d’habitat pour la faune locale. Ils peuvent résister à des températures allant jusqu’à -30°C. Les baies d’argousier, riches en nutriments, arrivent à maturité l’automne venue. Elles peuvent alors constituer l’une des rares sources d’énergie pour les insectes et les oiseaux locaux.

La Maison de l’Argousier est propriétaire de sa propre argouseraie cultivée en Agriculture Biologique. Elle participe aux travaux scientifiques menés sur cette pépite de la nature.

L’argousier est bien plus qu’une simple plante. C’est un trésor de la nature tant pour son écosystème que pour l’homme. En protégeant ce petit arbuste si peu connu dans nos contrées latines, nous préservons la biodiversité de notre planète et nous investissons dans notre propre bien-être et notre santé.

Sea buckthorn: a small berry with multiple benefits for the skin

Le fruit de l’argousier, une petite baie orangée, produit de l’huile que l’on obtient soit à partir des pépins, soit à partir de la chair des baies, et qui est très riche en vitamines et en acides gras essentiels. Elle comporte donc une multitude de bienfaits pour la peau et c’est pourquoi l’avons choisie comme produit phare des soins de La Maison de l’Argousier. La gamme proposée est particulièrement complète et permet une action protectrice, hydratante, anti-âge, anti-tâches…

What are Sea Buckthorn's benefits for the skin?

Its benefits are due to its rich content of vitamins A, C, E and F, beta-carotene, antioxidants and essential fatty acids (omegas 3, 6, 7 and 9). Products containing them are therefore ideal for dry or mature skin, but not only. However, we must distinguish between two types of sea buckthorn oil: that obtained from the seeds of the small berry and that obtained from its pulp.

[pub_produit]

Sea buckthorn seed oil

Sea buckthorn seed oil contains high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, which boost cell renewal and improve skin appearance. They also help reinforce the epidermis' hydrolipidic film, while preserving the water content of the stratum corneum.

Oil extracted from the fruit pulp

The oil obtained from sea buckthorn flesh is very rich in beta-carotenes (the precursors of vitamin A) and palmitoleic acid, which offers effective protection against free radicals and helps combat the signs of aging. The latter also promotes the renewal of damaged cells. The orange color of this oil (thanks to the presence of beta-carotenes) gives an instant healthy glow.

Sea buckthorn skincare: for which skin types?

La Maison de l'Argousier offers a range of skin care products designed to treat a variety of skin problems, including dryness, lack of radiance, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation spots and tightness. They are therefore suitable for many women concerned about the health and beauty of their skin, especially as sea buckthorn oil has no known contraindications.

For dry, sensitive skin

Sea buckthorn has recognized virtues for dry, sensitive skin. In addition to its moisturizing effects, it also helps relieve irritation, discomfort and tightness.

For mature skin

Sea buckthorn oil-based skin care products are particularly recommended for mature skin. Their nourishing, antioxidant and protective properties help fight the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and limit cell aging.

[pub_produit]

For skin with imperfections

Sea buckthorn oil also slows down the proliferation of microbes, which is useful for preventing and reducing blemishes. It also has healing properties, helping to limit the appearance of unsightly marks and scars.

What are the origins of sea buckthorn?

Sea buckthorn has been used medicinally since ancient times. It is also widely used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, as well as in Ayurvedic medicine. Sea buckthorn's properties are used to treat certain skin and mucous membrane disorders, digestive problems, irregular and painful menstruation, certain cardiovascular disorders...

China currently has 300,000 hectares of sea buckthorn orchards, and manufactures over 200 products containing sea buckthorn in around 150 factories. The oil in La Maison de l'Argousier products, however, doesn't come from so far away. The plantations are located in Moldavia, in Eastern Europe, and our oil is produced using methods that respect the active ingredients it contains as much as possible. All our products are then manufactured in France using natural ingredients. What's more, they are not tested on animals, and their packaging is designed to generate as little waste as possible.

For stressed, tired skin

Thanks to the vitamin F it contains, Sea Buckthorn oil has a smoothing and regenerating action. Signs of fatigue are reduced, and skin regains its suppleness and softness.

Sea buckthorn or arbutus: what are the differences?

Although their names are very similar in French, the Latin names for sea buckthorn and arbutus (Hippophae rhamnoides and Arbutus unedo) have nothing in common. However, they both produce small berries with valuable health benefits. The shrub is little known in France, and La Maison de l'Argousier has decided to use its berries in the composition of its cosmetic products, so that everyone can enjoy its many benefits.

Two wild shrubs

Although their names are very similar in French, the Latin names for sea buckthorn and arbutus (Hippophae rhamnoides and Arbutus unedo) have nothing in common. However, they both produce small berries with valuable health benefits. The shrub is little known in France, and La Maison de l'Argousier has decided to use its berries in the composition of its cosmetic products, so that everyone can enjoy its many benefits.

Arbutus and sea buckthorn are both wild shrubs. The former is evergreen and often used for hedging. The latter is covered in thorns and is particularly frost-resistant. Both produce berries rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. The fruit of the arbutus is round and red when fully ripe, while that of the sea buckthorn is more elongated and orange in color.

Arbutus belongs to the Ericaceae family, which also includes heathers, and grows mainly in southern Europe, western Asia and North Africa. Sea Buckthorn, on the other hand, belongs to the Eleagnaceae family and grows over a much wider area, encompassing much of Europe, Asia and Russia.

Les fruits de l’argousier ou de l’arbousier se consomment-ils ?

L’argousier

Sea buckthorn berries can be eaten raw, in salads for example, or used in sauces, syrups, jams, chutneys, juices, etc. They are very rich in amino acids and vitamins C, E, B1 and B2, which help stimulate the body, regenerate cells and fight the signs of aging.

L’arbousier

Arbutus fruit can also be eaten raw. It has a slightly sweet and tangy taste, but is nevertheless quite bland. That's why it's best eaten as a coulis, compote or jam. It's also advisable not to eat too much of it, otherwise you risk suffering from colic. Arbutus fruit is rich in flavonoids and is traditionally used to improve venous problems and hypertension.

Pourquoi utiliser l’argousier en cosmétique ?

A composition

  • palmitoleic acid
  • vaccenic acid
  • linoleic acid

The little berry is also a concentrate of antioxidants and polyphenols. So it's a great way to take care of your beauty and well-being, while preserving the skin's qualities.

[pub_produit]

La Maison de l'Argousier uses organic sea buckthorn berries from Moldavia, and its products are made in France, highlighting the virtues of sea buckthorn berries. The oil extraction method produces an optimally effective totum. Totum refers to the active molecules present in the plant. Its efficacy is greater than that of the individual molecules when taken separately.

Sea buckthorn oil applications

Known for its energizing and antioxidant properties, sea buckthorn is the basis of many cosmetics. Used in the form of vegetable oil, the plant is suitable for all skin types. Here's an overview of its applications and benefits for skin and hair. Sea buckthorn oil is obtained from the pulp of the berries and seeds of this shrub. Legend has it that Genghis Khan already appreciated its benefits for his horses! The oil contains high concentrations of vitamins A and E, as well as flavonoids (vitamin P) with proven anti-inflammatory, immunostimulant and antioxidant qualities. 

Applications of sea buckthorn oil on the skin 

The antioxidant effect of sea buckthorn oil

Sea buckthorn oil is so rich in antioxidants that its use has exceeded terrestrial limits! Several cosmonauts have used it to protect themselves from cosmic rays, attesting to the berry's powerful antioxidant effect. On a daily basis, sea buckthorn oil helps slow the effects of aging and cellular oxidation. Rich in vitamin E, Sea Buckthorn oil also has anti-wrinkle properties and is particularly suitable for mature skin.

Apply a few drops of Sea Buckthorn oil, warmed in the palm of your hand, to clean, dry skin. Gently massaging into the face and body, the oil penetrates the skin, visibly nourishing and softening it. Gradually, the skin wakes up and becomes visibly brighter and healthier.

Anti-inflammatory properties

Rich in omega-3 and sterols, sea buckthorn oil soothes sensitive, irritated or injured skin. Its healing properties help the skin to regenerate, especially in the event of sunburn or burns. Before or after sunbathing, it soothes the skin and helps combat dry or tight skin thanks to its 70% linoleic and linolenic acids, fatty acids that help maintain skin elasticity.

Both preventive and curative, it can be used to treat irritation, chapping, cracks, chilblains, blisters, brown spots, depigmentation and dehydration. Although this oil contains carotenoids for protection from the sun, it does not dispense with a high index sun protection filter!

An immediate healthy-glow effect!

Thanks to beta-carotene, a precursor of provitamin A, sea buckthorn oil is lightly tinted, and when applied to clean, dry skin, it instantly awakens and brightens the complexion! Applied with a gentle massage, it softens the skin and gives it a comfortable velvety feel. Sea Buckthorn oil can be applied to skin of all ages with pleasure, for a truly relaxing experience!

Sea buckthorn oil, massage oil

Particularly recommended for massage, Sea Buckthorn oil immediately produces a relaxing and soothing effect. The properties of palmitoleic and palmitic acids give the skin a comfortable elasticity, nourish it deeply and soften it immediately. Organically grown, it is fully traceable, from sourcing to bottle.

Sea buckthorn oil to reduce imperfections

Thanks to its healing properties, acne sufferers will appreciate using this oil to limit the appearance of unsightly marks and scars. What's more, its composition naturally inhibits the proliferation of microbes, helping to regulate acne and microcysts. Seabuckthorn oil is therefore a valuable and pleasant aid for young skin that may be experiencing discomfort.

Sea buckthorn oil applications on hair

Revitalize hair

With its exceptional nourishing properties, sea buckthorn oil is the perfect ally for dry or damaged hair! It quickly penetrates hair fibers and works to regenerate hair as it does skin. Its antioxidant virtues work wonders without heaviness or greasiness. Its softening properties also lighten hair, helping to smooth frizz for healthy, mermaid-like hair!

Soothe irritated scalps

Thanks to its soothing and cleansing properties, sea buckthorn oil relieves scalp irritation and nourishes the scalp deep down. No more tightness! Just a few drops are all it takes to massage Sea Buckthorn berry oil into the scalp and feel its benefits immediately.

Stimulate keratin, strengthen hair

Sea buckthorn oil is a veritable vitamin bomb, naturally stimulating the production of keratin, which makes up the vast majority of hair fibers. After warming a few drops of Sea Buckthorn Oil in the palm of your hand, massage it into the scalp and hair roots with your fingertips. Over time, your hair will grow better and faster. Your hair is stronger, shinier and more supple - a daily delight!

As a revitalizing mask

Do you take time for yourself? Take time for your hair too! Apply a small amount of sea buckthorn oil, warmed in the palm of your hand, to your hair, especially at the roots and ends. Wait two hours, then wash with your usual shampoo and rinse with clean water. Strengthened and deeply nourished, your hair will thank you!

The virtues of sea buckthorn

La petite baie d’argousier recèle des richesses insoupçonnées. Son utilisation multiple dans les cultures slaves et asiatiques nous a inspiré une gamme de soins issue de l’agriculture biologique et destiné à toutes les peaux : jeunes, adultes ou matures. En privilégiant la variété Clara, nous avons sélectionné la plante la plus riche en bienfaits afin de restituer toute la vérité végétale de l’argousier à travers nos crèmes, huiles et sérums. Découvrez les vertus du biomimétisme revitalisant !

Sea buckthorn berry: a vitamin C concentrate

This little-known berry is as vitamin-rich as its orange color suggests! Its vitamin C content is remarkable and biologically exceptional. For every 100g of sea buckthorn berries, you'll need between 0.2 and 0.6g of vitamin C... that's 20 times more than in the same quantity of orange! A veritable vitamin concentrate, this richness has not escaped Tibetan and Chinese pharmacopoeia, which have been using it for centuries in traditional medicine and phytotherapy. There are over 300 preparations (oil, decoction, powder, pill, extract, etc.) using sea buckthorn to combat exhaustion of the body and skin, cold, dry air, bouts of weakness and fatigue, and aging.

[pub_produit]

Although essential to our health, vitamin C is not synthesized by our bodies. We therefore need to compensate for this deficiency through our diet and skin care products adapted to each skin type. In our serums and face creams, we faithfully reproduce the composition of sea buckthorn berries, putting plant intelligence at the service of precious cosmetics. Our biomimetic technology provides your skin with the same concentration of vitamin C as sea buckthorn berries contain in their natural state. Skin is brighter, healthier and more luminous... as vitaminized as the little orange berry!

Sea buckthorn berry: a shield for your skin

Seabuckthorn owes its unique concentration of vitamins to the hostile environments in which it chooses to make its home. From the icy heights of the Himalayas to the steppes, tundras and cold territories, nothing is able to bend Sea Buckthorn, which compensates for the aridity of the soil thanks to its overdeveloped capacity to store not only vitamin C but also flavonoids (vitamin P), essential for the proper functioning of our immune system. By considerably strengthening all blood vessels, the active ingredients in Sea Buckthorn improve blood circulation. The results are clear: the plant and its berries have anti-inflammatory, immunostimulant and antioxidant virtues, which are particularly appreciated in the steppes of Central Asia, where sea buckthorn consumption provides protection against extreme temperature variations. Present in the water (aqueous part) of the berry and not in the oil, vitamin C is present in La Maison de l'Argousier skin care creams and waters, which reconstitute the balance of the berry by combining the oily and aqueous phases known as TOTUM.

The antioxidant power of sea buckthorn berries

Ideal for preserving skin's youthful appearance, sea buckthorn berries are not only rich in antioxidants. In oil, cream or serum form, the plant provides all the essential fatty acids and vitamin E our skin needs.
The antioxidants present in the shrub and its berry help detoxify the skin, regulate and regenerate its natural defenses. A natural benefit that La Maison de l'Argousier has made possible thanks to a perfect reconstitution of the plant in each of its cosmetics.

More than any other cosmetics, we bring plant-based truth to the service of your skin.

L’argousier, meilleur allié pour votre peau

Sous forme de crèmes, de sérums ou d’huile, on a tout à gagner à utiliser les soins à base de baies d’argousier ! En routine ou applications ponctuelles, cette baie aux multiples vertus est la meilleure amie de votre peau. Dans la nature, l’argousier est un modèle de résistance au froid, à la sécheresse et au soleil.

C’est ce dont témoignent les médecines d’Asie et d’Asie centrale après plusieurs siècles d’utilisation.

Sea buckthorn, a daily asset for your skin

There is a beneficial use for Sea Buckthorn for all skin types. While normal, mature and dry skin will prefer creams, serums or oils, oily and combination skin will prefer creams and serums. For the latter, oil, which is very rich, should be used sparingly, mixing a few drops with a day cream, for example.

[pub_produit]

Sea buckthorn berry: instant healthy glow!

Sea buckthorn owes its orange color to its richness in carotenoids (molecules that include beta-carotene, also known as provitamin A). This family of molecules provides not only considerable antioxidant benefits, but also a vitamin-rich color that awakens the complexion. By mixing a few drops of sea buckthorn berry oil into your day cream, or applying it directly to clean, dry skin, the healthy-glow effect is instantaneous, and naturally replaces a lightly tinted cream. Carotenoids also form a protective filter on the skin to block UV rays, but do not exempt you from high SPF sun protection in summer!

Sea Buckthorn, the beauty ally for mature skin

Sea buckthorn's antioxidant power is such that cosmonauts don't hesitate to use it to protect themselves from cosmic rays! On a day-to-day basis, with your feet firmly on the ground, sea buckthorn is a powerful ally for keeping skin healthy and reducing and slowing down the effects of cellular aging. Here again, creams for mature skin, serums or oils are chosen according to individual preferences or combined on a daily basis for optimum results. 

Also rich in vitamin E, sea buckthorn has strong anti-wrinkle properties. By combining all the virtues of this plant in a respectful biomimetic approach, La Maison de l'Argousier has created a range specially designed to enable every skin type to benefit from these advantages. Whether young, adult or mature, each skin type can find the right skincare routine to take advantage of the best nature has to offer.

Sea buckthorn, an unrivalled repairing agent

Made up of 65% palmitic and palmitoleic acids (omega 7), the oil contained in sea buckthorn berries is the closest to human sebum, helping to repair and soothe the skin.

Recognized anti-inflammatory benefits

Sea buckthorn's anti-inflammatory virtues have been discovered and exploited by traditional Asian medicines for centuries. Science has unlocked the secret of the berries' richness by revealing their high content of omega-3 and sterols, essential ingredients for locking in moisture, soothing itching and promoting the quality of the body's anti-inflammatory response. Thus, sensitive or irritated skin is rapidly relieved by the application of sea buckthorn berry oil like that offered by La Maison de l'Argousier.

Sea buckthorn's ability to keep the epidermis well hydrated and the hyper-nourishing power of its essential fatty acids and vitamins also ensure its effectiveness in terms of healing. By protecting the skin from UV rays, moisturizing and nourishing it, the epidermis regenerates faster and healthier.
Thanks to these benefits, Sea Buckthorn is particularly suitable for dry skin, which regains the comfort of nourishing moisturization and the softness of velvety skin.

[pub_produit]

Repair burned skin

In cream or oil form, sea buckthorn is regularly recommended as a preventive treatment or cure for all kinds of skin problems and accidents. For example, on sunny days, to protect against the first rays of the sun before opting for more appropriate protection in summer, or to relieve burns, blisters or cracks, itching or stings. Sea buckthorn soothes and protects, while its powerful moisturizing and nourishing properties repair and reinforce the skin's vitality. Better defended, stronger and more supple, the skin faces external aggressions with greater serenity and heals more rapidly. These virtues have been widely recognized for centuries in Asia and Central Europe, where climates can be harsh and extreme.

Young problem skin

For acne-prone skin or skin prone to microcysts, sea buckthorn-based creams or a small amount of sea buckthorn berry oil can pay off. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, sea buckthorn prevents the proliferation of bacteria responsible for the multiplication of pimples. Its healing properties accelerate the repair of damaged skin, soothing and evening out the appearance of unsightly scars.

Whatever your needs and expectations, La Maison de l'Argousier cosmetics offer simple, natural and pleasant solutions to preserve your skin and keep it healthy and radiant.
