Seabuckthorn oil is frequently used in cosmetic products, especially topical products marketed for aging skin and dry skin. Sea buckthorn oil is used in some shampoos and other hair care products too.

Oil content in seeds of seabuckthorn is on average 7-11 % while oil content of the fruit pulp is around 1.5-3 % (per fresh weight). Seed oil is characterized by high contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids while pulp oil contains monounsaturated fatty acids and carotenoids. Both oils also contain dense amounts of tocopherols, tocotrienols and plant sterols.

Oils from seabuckthorn seeds and pulp differ considerably in fatty acid composition. While linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid are the major fatty acids in seed oil, seabuckthorn pulp oil contains approximately 65% combined of the monounsaturated fatty acid, palmitoleic acid, and the saturated fatty acid, palmitic acid.This results in a major difference between the seabuckthorn oil extracted from seeds and the seabuckthorn oil extracted from the fleshy part of the fruit, in term of appearance and consistency.

The α-Tocopherol is the major vitamin E compound in seabuckthorn. Seed oil also contains considerable amounts of gamma-tocopherol. The total amount of tocopherols and tocotrienols is roughly 64–300 mg/100 g in seed oil and 100–481 mg/100 g in pulp oil.
