Life Oil for the Fighter

Sea Buckthorn Berry (Hippophae Rhamnoides, for you geeks) may end up in an upcoming Fight Soap really soon. It’s mentioned in almost every classic medicinal book spanning from Greece to Tibet. It also makes the cut because it has a kick-ass name, the ancient Greeks say that Pegasus loved eating them, and the mere fact that it's loaded with good stuff for healthy skin has been determined by science.

The fatty berries from this pirate-sounding shrub yield an oil so rich in vitamins, acids, and carotene that it’s been nicknamed the "Life Oil". It’s been used as a traditional remedy for healing the skin and believed to have amazing anti-aging properties. Think of it like an orange-colored Acai berry that has Asian roots.

So will a younger and more youthful-looking you translate to sicker fighting skills? Maybe not, but this key ingredient may help in the process of the skin repairing itself after all the cuts, scrapes, and mat burn we subject it to in combat sports. It could help you stay healthy enough to train and fight for more years to come.

The high-grade batch of Sea Buckthorn oil sourced all the way from the far east was hard to find and very expensive, but we believe it’s going to be worth it. It’s easier to use than some of the essentials oils we’ve come across in the past. We’re at the point of figuring out the optimal amounts needed in a bar of soap to make it effective. After that it’s all about finding which essential oils will work with this new oil for that killer combo. Excited? Yup, we are too.
