Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 Has anyone ever used this oil to make their own lotion? If so, at what amount will it start to turn the skin orange? Thanks. Rosanne Quote
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 Rosanne, I added Sea Buckthorn to Vit.E lotion together with rosehip oil and it's makes wonderful skin cream. But I only added a few drops, not near enough to turn my skin orange.. C-M Quote

Does anyone know what part of the plant I use? And do I just distill it? Is it the " juice " ? Anyone know?? TIA Karen J Quote
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Posted June 19, 2004 Hi Christa Marie, I add rosehip seed oil to my lotion also. It is a beautiful lotion. It feels great and it's nice and orange! Oh, what the heck. It's summertime anyway. So what if I turn orange. No seriously, my skin isn't turning orange. I was just wondering if there was a recommended usage rate for the oil. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Posted June 19, 2004 I use this oil ... the extract. The recommended usage rate I have seen is 0.1% to 8.0% which is a pretty wide range. I usually use at less than 1%. The Snowdrift Farm site says, " Because of the unusual composition of Sea Buckthorn oil, it is often thought of as an essential oil rather than a fixed oil. " http://www.snowdriftfarm.com/seabuckthorn.html That would seem to indicate a lower usage. HTH... Linda Wallen Village Treasures ljwallen " Leave room in your garden for the angels to dance.
