Blue Sage Naturals, first in the US and abroad to offer NOP certified organic Sea Buckthorn [SBT Seed and Berry oils. Highly touted oils for use in formulations for skin care, SBT oils are higher in essential fatty acids, beta-carotenes and tocotrienols than any other oil.

Phoenix, Ariz. (PRWEB) February 6, 2008 -- Natural herbal cosmetics company Blue Sage Naturals today announced it is the leading US supplier of National Organic Program (NOP) NOP Certified Organic CO2 Sea Buckthorn Seed and Berry Oil, juice powder and capsules. Sea Buckthorn, a breakthrough natural skin care ingredient, is a full spectrum plant extract that contains high levels of essential fatty acids and vitamins that are helpful with all kinds of skin conditions, including rosacea, inflammation and eczema.

"SBT seed and berry CO2 oils are added to cosmetics because they soothe dryness and inflammation, and may even speed up healing of scar tissue from cuts, scrapes and burns," said Janine Phariss, president of Blue Sage Naturals. "For several months, we have been anxiously anticipating final NOP certification of the Sea Buckthorn products we have been carrying for years. Now, with NOP certification, our U.S. based customers are assured of the highest quality Sea Buckthorn oil for use in the cosmetics they manufacture."

The addition of the NOP Certificate for the Organic Sea Buckthorn to our line of ingredients means more people will enjoy healthy, organic skin care. It's 100% pure, 100% organic and 100% good.

Trends in natural and organic cosmetics are going the same way as the organic food market, with sales of organic cosmetics increasing at a rapid pace. Consumer concern about harmful chemicals in cosmetics is widely believed to be driving the interest in certified organic cosmetic ingredients. The demand for higher quality cosmetics is helping them to become more widely available, and Blue Sage Naturals plays a critical role by offering manufacturers Sea Buckthorn oils, an effective skin care ingredient that is also NOP Certified Organic.

As the first and only distributor of NOP certified organic CO2 Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil, Blue Sage Naturals is helping its customers respond to their customers' demands with an oil that addresses the skin conditions in the most healthful way possible -- organically.
