# Sea Buckthorn (Obliphica) for Skin > Sea buckthorn — also labelled obliphica — in Dead Sea skincare: its reputation for nourishing, comforting skin, and the products that use it. Sea buckthorn for skin, sometimes labelled on Dead Sea skincare packaging as obliphica, is a botanical oil known for its deep orange color and its reputation for nourishing and comforting the skin. Across Ashury's BioSpa range, it turns up in night creams, day creams, toners, lotions, body creams, mineral mud, and even a lip balm, almost always paired with carrot oil. That combination is meant to support skin that feels dry, tight, or in need of extra care, without making any medical claim about what it can cure or fix. ## What Makes Sea Buckthorn for Skin a Popular Pairing with Carrot? Sea buckthorn for skin is typically formulated alongside carrot oil because the two botanicals are seen as complementary in cosmetic terms: sea buckthorn for its nourishing reputation, carrot for its soothing, calming associations. Nearly every BioSpa product on this list uses that pairing, which suggests the brand treats it as a signature combination rather than a one-off ingredient choice. If you're new to obliphica, it helps to know it's simply another name for sea buckthorn oil, so products labelled either way draw on the same botanical. Reading labels carefully avoids confusion when comparing products across Ashury's facial and body care sections. Botanical oils like sea buckthorn can vary slightly in color and texture from batch to batch, since they come from a natural plant source rather than a fixed manufacturing process. That's normal and doesn't change how the product is meant to be used, though it's worth knowing before comparing a new bottle to one you've used before. ## Facial Care: Day Creams, Night Creams, and Serums For nighttime routines, the **BioSpa Nourishing Night Cream with Sea Buckthorn & Carrot (50 ml)** ($24) is built specifically for dry skin types, aiming to provide overnight moisture and a softer feel by morning. It's a good fit for anyone whose skin tends to feel tight after cleansing. During the day, the **BioSpa Active Day Cream with Sea Buckthorn and Carrot** ($24) takes a different approach, formulated instead for oily and combination skin types with a light, non-greasy 50 ml texture. Choosing between the night cream and this day cream really comes down to skin type and time of day rather than which one is "better." For something more concentrated around the eyes, the **BioSpa Firming Eye Serum with Obliphica & Carrot** ($24) has a rich texture built for the delicate eye area. It aims to nourish, tone, and smooth the look of lines, offering a targeted step you can layer on top of a regular moisturizer. ## Cleansing and Toning with Sea Buckthorn Sea buckthorn for skin also plays a role in Ashury's cleansing lineup. The **Biospa Sea Buckthorn & Carrot Face Toner** ($14) is a 120 ml formula built for all skin types, meant to finish the cleansing process and leave skin feeling calm rather than stripped. Paired with that, the **BIOSPA Sea Buckthorn & Carrot Facial Lotion** ($12) is designed to gently cleanse all skin types in a 120 ml bottle, aiming to lift away daily impurities while still carrying the same Dead Sea mineral base found across the range. Using the lotion and toner together builds a simple two-step cleansing routine. ## Body Care, Mud Treatments, and Lip Balm For the body, the **BioSpa Body Cream with Sea Buckthorn & Carrot Oil** ($14) is a 180 ml daily cream meant to provide moisture and help promote a softer, more supple appearance. A lighter alternative is the **BIOSPA Body Cream with Sea Buckthorn & Avocado Oil (100 ml)** ($5), which combines Dead Sea minerals with sea buckthorn and avocado oil for daily use in a smaller, budget-friendly size. For a spa-style treatment at home, two mud options feature sea buckthorn: the **BioSpa Mineral Mud with Sea Buckthorn & Carrot – 600 g** ($3) is meant to be heated for a relaxing experience, while the **Dead Sea Mineral Mud Enriched with Carrot & Sea Buckthorn – 250 gr** ($8) from Sea of Spa is built to help maintain the appearance of healthy-looking, cared-for skin. Both are meant for occasional use rather than daily application. Finally, for dry or chapped lips, the **BioSpa Anti-Dryness Lip Balm** ($10) is a 12 ml balm meant to nourish and soothe, featuring Dead Sea minerals, seabuckthorn oil, avocado oil, and beeswax. ## Building a Sea Buckthorn Routine With ten products spanning face, body, and lips, it's easy to build a full sea buckthorn for skin routine without overthinking it. - Morning: Active Day Cream for oily/combination skin, or the body cream for the rest of the body. - Evening: Nourishing Night Cream, followed by the Firming Eye Serum if needed. - Cleansing step: Facial Lotion followed by the Face Toner. - Weekly treat: either mineral mud option for a spa-style pause. - On-the-go: the Anti-Dryness Lip Balm for chapped lips year-round. Since these formulas combine sea buckthorn with carrot oil and a Dead Sea mineral base, it's sensible to patch test a new product on your inner arm before applying it to your face, especially if your skin tends to react to new botanical ingredients. Introducing one new product at a time also makes it easier to notice how your skin responds. As with any cosmetic routine, consistency matters more than any single product. These formulas are meant to nourish and comfort skin over time, not deliver an instant transformation after one use. --- _[Ashury](https://ashury.com/) · Dead Sea skincare, shipped worldwide.
