Seborrheic Dermatitis

I recently heard about an organic cream called Sea Buckthorn cream.
Has anyone tried it before? I’m getting ready to give it a try. It’s
sold online an I found it at an organic foods store by where I live.
This is some information I found on it if your interested.

Skin: An ingredient of the oil, palmitoleic acid, is a component of
skin. It is considered a valuable topical agent in treating burns
and healing wounds. This fatty acid can also nourish the skin when
taken orally if adequate quantities of sea buckthorn or its oil are
consumed; this is a useful method for treating systemic skin
diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (14). The only other major plant
source of palmitoleic acid is macadamia nuts; the oil is used to
nourish the skin. Sea buckthorn oil is already widely used alone or
in various preparations topically applied for burns, scalds,
ulcerations, and infections. It is an ingredient in sunblock-

hippophae oil has UV-blocking activity as well as emollient
properties-and it is an aid in promoting regeneration of tissues
(15). The fruit may also be used for benefiting the hair: the name
hippophae, means shiny horse, and refers to the good coat developed
by horses feeding off the plant.
