Protects against HEV Blue light’s digital pollution. When you spend a lot of time in front of a screen, blue light can rob the skin of healthy collagen levels. Continued exposure can cause worsening of melasma, skin discoloration, fine lines or, in some cases, an increased risk of melanoma, or skin cancer.

Getting the most from sea buckthorn
Sea buckthorn is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, and it shines on dry, mature skin. A few notes on using it.
- Choose a diluted formula Sea buckthorn berries are bright orange and can stain skin, so pick a product where the oil is already blended and formulated to prevent that.
- Best for dry, mature skin Its unsaturated fatty acids form a film that helps skin hold water, which is why dry and mature skin benefit most. Follow the product’s directions on how much to use.
- Reach for it in dry air Low humidity and long hours indoors leave skin thirsty. Sea buckthorn’s occlusive barrier helps support lasting hydration through both.
- Start with a small amount Evidence on sensitive skin is limited, so apply a little to a small area first and see how your skin responds before using more.
- Let the quiz place it Sea buckthorn is designed to address dryness and support the skin barrier, but your skin may call for something different. The Skin Genome Quiz weighs 47 factors to build your personalized formula.
