General- The seabuckthorn shrub is native in Central Asia, in the Altai region,

Mongolia and China. Seabuckthorn is also growing at European coastsfrom the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.

Seabuckthorn oils play an important role in the Asian and East- Seabuckthorn oils play an important role in the Asian and EastEuropean medicine. They are often found in pharmaceuticals andcosmetics.

- Since ages Seabuckthorn is used in the traditional medicine of Tibet, Mongolia, China and Russia.

General- The Latin name is hippophae rhamnoides (hippos for horse).

- Seabuckthorn is a pioneer plant and grows also onto extremlypoor soil. Seabuckthorn lives in symbiosis with a special microorganismwhich is able to collect nitrogen from the air and use it like a naturalwhich is able to collect nitrogen from the air and use it like a naturalfertilizer. Therefore seabuckthorn improves the soil for other plants.

- The plant is growing even in extreme conditions: heat, frost and aridity.

- This may be also a reason for the unique composition of the yellow todeep orange berries.

- The dioecism of seabuckthorn makes it necessary to have at leasta male and a female plant to harvest berries.Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil is dark red and has afruity aroma and taste.

What is special with the SANDDORN GbR quality

aim: get seabuckthorn oil in a native organic quality

• There are for methods or process Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil:– A) drying the berries to process Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil) y g p p

– B) oil extraction using heat

– C) extraction of the pulp oil using hydocarbons, e.g. hexane

– D) SANDDORN GbR technology, cold pressing

• The technologies A), B) and C) result in partial denaturation of the components or in a pollution with hydrocarbons. These products are not longer native anymore.

• Technology D) does neither use drying or high temperature processes nor high pressure. It uses a cold pressing method. The ingredients of the oil stay native, biologically active an uncontaminated by solvents.

Quality parameters

The quality of the seabuckthorn oils in terms of the chemicalcomposition and sensory parameters is determined by:composition and sensory parameters is determined by:

the raw material (Seabuckthorn Kernel Oil, Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil)

the type of the oil or the mixing ratio of the oils

the production process

Quality parameters

Th lit f th il l d d th h ti tiThe quality of the oils also depends on the harvesting time:

1. fresh berries harvested in late summer / early fall (worldwide) 2. berries directly frosted technically (Central Europe) 3. seabuckthorn berries naturally frosted during the winter

(mainly Central Asia)

Composition of Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil

Seabuckthorn is a fruit with a unique composition of the contained oil.

First there are not many plants which contain fruit as well as kernel First there are not many plants which contain fruit as well as kernel oil.

A very particular characteristic of Seabbuckthorn is that it is the only fruit worldwide which contains pulp oil at all.

- contained pulp oil: 0,1 – 7 % * (* depending on the type of seabuckthorn fruits)

- contained kernel oil: around 2 %

Composition of Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil –fatty acids and further ingredients

The fat composition of the seabuckthorn oil consists ofapprox. 70 essential fatty acids

Unsaturated fatty acids

- linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid): about 2,5 %

- linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid): 1 – 6 %

- palmotoleic acid: at least 25 %

Saturated fatty acids

Certificate / Conformations- Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil is free of additives and not GMO modified.

- Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil corresponds to the valid food law provisionsof the EU.

- The content of heavy metals is lower than those defined in theregulations on Maximum Residue Limits. (Rückstands-Höchstmengenverordnung (RHmV))

- Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil offered by SLI Chemicals is certifiedorganic growing

- Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil is virtually free of mycotoxins.

Properties and use of Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil

- Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil has long been used in traditional medicine in Central d E t A iand Eastern Asia.

- The cosmetic industry uses the oil above all in skin and hair preparations.

- The Seabuckthorn Pulp Oil has benificial effect in dry, sun reddened and stressed skin. The high degree of tocopheryl ancarotenes trap free radicals,thus benefiting skin stressed by UV radiation and air pollution.

- The high content of up to 70 % essential fatty acids which are medium polar influences the emulsification capacity as well as improvesthe spreadibility.

Organic sea buckthorn pulp oil

General information SANDDORN GbR Quality

Product data sheet and specification

The berries of the sea buckthorn (hippophae rhamnoides L.) are the most nutritious and unusual of the domestic fruits. They are to be found primarily in Central Asia and also everywhere in Europe, predominantly in coastal and mountainous regions. The pulp of the fruits grown under contract in Germany to certified organic standards contains up to 2 % oil on average, which is extracted in its virgin form, i.e. in the form in which it is found in the fruit, avoiding stressful influences (e.g. high mechanical stress, high temperatures, high pressure, drying out), using a pure mechanical separation procedure. It is orange-coloured and smells fruity. The fruit pulp is characterised by its high content of palmitic

and palmitoleic acid, provitamin A (carotenoids, in particular beta carotene) and vitamins E and K. The oil usually already starts to crystallise out below 20°C and is usually of a firm consistency below 15°C. Due to the complex composition of the oil, discolorations can occur but these are completely reversible even when heated. This does not affect the dietary and physiological quality of the oil. Product information Sea buckthorn oil is free of additives. The product corresponds to the valid food law provisions of the Federal Republic of Germany and the European Union as well as the dietary regulations for infants and small children. It is not produced from genetically modified foodstuffs. Nor have any methods of genetic engineering been used in its production. Continuous control from the cultivation of the raw materials, via crop and after-crop preparation, to processing ensures a high quality of product, i.e. residual quantities of agrochemicals and traces of heavy metals are lower than those defined in the Regulations on Maximum Residue Limits (Rückstands-Höchstmengenverordnung (RHmV)). The products are virtually free of mycotoxins within the framework of conventional verification procedures. Use Sea buckthorn pulp oil has long been used in traditional medicine in Central and Eastern Asia.

The cosmetics industry uses organic sea buckthorn pulp oil for emulsified and oily skin and hair preparations. It is particularly beneficial on dry, sun-reddened and stressed skin. The carotenoids trap free radicals, thus benefiting skin stressed by UV radiation and air pollution. The oil contains up to 70 % C-16 fatty acid compounds and thus types of triglycerides that do not occur in any other oil to such a high degree. These are medium-polar, which influences the particular emulsification capacity and also improves the spreadability.
