The limited edition with added sea buckthorn fruit oil (which is also contained in our Renewing Oil Serum) gives it a stronger orangey colour and a fruitier smell than the original. Sea buckthorn is a skin nutrient power house containing the rare fatty acid omega 7 and is also high in vitamins and anti-oxidants and important amino-acids, which provide building blocks for collagen. This boosts your skin's ability to repair and protect itself. Please select which option you would like from the drop down 'type' menu above.
