Sea Buckthorn: The Superberry in Purely Maxwell’s Ecza Balm & Wound Salve

Sea Buckthorn: The Superberry in Purely Maxwell’s Ecza Balm & Wound Salve

Nestled among Europe’s and Asia’s northern landscapes grows sea buckthorn—a hardy, spiny shrub bearing vibrant orange berries bursting with skin-loving nutrients. At Purely Maxwell, we harness the certified organic oil from these antioxidant-rich berries in our Ecza Balm and Wound Salve, creating formulations designed to heal, protect, and renew your skin naturally.

Why Sea Buckthorn? Nature’s Nutrient Powerhouse

The berries’ bright orange hue signals an exceptional concentration of phytonutrients, including over 60 antioxidants, 20 minerals, and vitamins that outperform everyday superfoods:

Vitamin C: Contains 10x more than oranges to brighten skin and boost collagen.
Vitamin A: 3x richer than carrots to reduce wrinkles, even skin tone, and support cell renewal.
Vitamin E & K: Protect against environmental damage while minimizing dark spots and irritation.
Omegas 3, 6, 7, and 9: Work synergistically to soothe inflammation, repair skin barriers, and accelerate healing.
Carotenoids: With 2.4x more than other oils, these antioxidants combat bacteria, reduce redness, and shield against UV damage.

Proven Benefits for Skin Health

Sea buckthorn’s nutrient density makes it a star ingredient in dermatology:

Accelerates Wound Healing: Shown in studies to outperform conventional treatments (like silver sulfadiazine) by promoting faster tissue repair and reducing infection risk.
Calms Inflammation: Its anti-inflammatory compounds (flavonoids, phytosterols) relieve eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis while minimizing trans-epidermal water loss.
Fights Aging: Antioxidants like lycopene and zeaxanthin neutralize free radicals, smooth wrinkles, and restore elasticity.
Deeply Moisturizes: Phospholipids and glycolipids reinforce the skin’s lipid barrier, locking in hydration for a supple, soft texture.

How Purely Maxwell Harnesses Sea Buckthorn

We infuse certified organic sea buckthorn fruit oil into our Ecza Balm and Wound Salve to deliver concentrated healing where your skin needs it most:

Ecza Balm: Combines sea buckthorn’s omega fatty acids with nourishing butters to calm flare-ups, reduce itching, and rebuild damaged skin barriers.
Wound Salve: Leverages its wound-healing carotenoids and vitamins to accelerate recovery from cuts, burns, and irritation while preventing scarring.

The Science Behind the Superberry

Research confirms sea buckthorn’s efficacy:

Burn Recovery: A blend with olive oil showed superior wound contraction and antibacterial properties compared to standard treatments.
Skin Regeneration: Omega-7 fatty acids boost blood flow, stimulate telomerase activity, and promote keratinocyte growth for faster healing.
Acne & Sensitivity: Non-comedogenic and rich in linoleic acid, it balances oil production and soothes reactive skin without clogging pores.

Why Choose Our Formulations?

Purely Maxwell prioritizes organic, small-batch craftsmanship to preserve sea buckthorn’s bioactive compounds. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our balms and salves avoid synthetic additives, ensuring pure, potent care for even the most delicate skin.
