The wonders of Seabuckthorne

My sister and our niece and nephews are staying for the summer. My sister has rosacea and the change in climate and water is making it flare up.
We've heard that Sea Buckthorn can work wonders. So we ordered the berry powder and I'm going to make a recipe for both a soap and lotion.
After researching, I feel that this could be a really good addition for sensitve skin. We'll let you know as our experiment progresses.
