Sea buckthorn, the tiny orange berry that has been known for centuries in Eastern civilizations as the holy fruit of the Himalayas, is flexing its muscle as one of the most powerful fruits on the planet. Sea buckthorn is the key ingredient in the premium beauty and wellness line Sibu Beauty, which recently made its debut in the U.S. and Canada.
Every Sibu Beauty topical and ingestible sea buckthorn berry-based product is loaded with an array of nutrients from the sea buckthorn berry including vitamins A, E and 15 times more vitamin C than an orange, according to the company.

Sea buckthorn is one of the only foods available that contain the highly elusive fatty acid, omega 7, or palmitoleic acid, which is fantastic for the health of skin, hair and nails. In addition sea buckthorn has one of the highest antioxidant level of any known fruit, contains beta carotene, flavonoids, over 190 bio-active compounds that also effectively treat dryness, wrinkles and other symptoms of aging or neglected skin.
According to Sibu Beauty founder, Bruce McMullin “The western world is beginning to understand why eastern cultures have benefited from sea buckthorn berry for hundreds of years. It’s an exciting time for all of us leading the sea buckthorn integration into the western world. The positive results, particularly in the skin, hair and nails are quite remarkable. During the next few years new studies will be released documenting how this berry will be a possible resource for numerous other internal and external conditions along with the obvious and well-documented beauty benefits.”
Sibu Beauty products are sold through www.sibubeauty.com, at GNC, Whole Foods, Sprouts and hundreds of retailers throughout the U.S. and Canada.
