Beauty born in the clouds
The Tibetan Himalayas. The land is majestic and beautiful—a spiritual place where, despite the perilous environment, many journey seeking enlightenment. In one of the most remote locations on the planet, the most tenacious and nutrient-dense species of sea buckthorn grows in wild abundance. The conditions are treacherous and unforgiving. And where other plants falter, the sea buckthorn berry endures and flourishes. Just as pressure makes beautiful diamonds, extreme weather conditions, high altitudes and rocky soil create the optimum situation for the most nutrient dense sea buckthorn berries in the world.
Maintaining sea buckthorn quality
Sibu is made from a choice selection of Himalayan sea buckthorn berries grown and harvested with the utmost care. And because our premium sea buckthorn berries are harvested and processed the same day, the nutritive integrity of each precious berry is maintained.
To preserve the tremendous potential contained in each berry, it is crucial that these berries are collected in the predawn hours to protect them from the relentless UV rays and lock in the greatest nutritive value. That same morning, the berries are processed in the local villages at our state-of-the-art processing facilities. First, the village harvesters painstakingly separate leaves from the berries. From there, it's sink or swim, as berries travel through a series of three vats of water. Only the ripe berries will rise to the top and become the integral component of our sibu products. Next, it's on to the juicer. Here the seeds and pulp go their separate ways. But nothing goes to waste. The seeds are processed into oil for our soap and skin care products, while the pulp becomes puree for our liquid supplements. With diligence and care, the puree is placed directly into airtight, UV safe containers to protect and seal in the maximum nutrient potential. And after a chilly trip across the ocean in refrigerated shipping containers, the puree arrives stateside for formulation, blending, purification and testing; quality control from stem to bottle for products with the greatest nutritive potential.

Sea buckthorn berries are a naturally sustainable resource growing wild at the source in Tibet. Additionally, the product packaging and literature is environmentally responsible, and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Is the Repair & Protect facial cream a healthy aging product?
Yes. Sibu Beauty sea buckthorn is one the greatest sources, plant or animal, of essential oils-Omegas 3, 6 and 9. It?s also loaded with the less common Omega 7, which is vital for healthy collagen production and helps to combat the harmful effects that stress, pollutants and natural aging can have on the skin. Sea buckthorn oil has also been traditionally used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Can the Cleanse & Detox facial soap be used on the whole body?
Though our facial soap is designed for use on the face, hands and neck, it can be used to moisturize, replenish and protect anywhere externally on your body that is covered by skin.
Are the essential oils used, pure essential oils?
The oil extraction process is designed to maximize the organic potency without isolating any one element or using synthesized additives. Plus, our product fragrances are all natural and derived from citrus essential oils.
Is this product line supposed to be a system?
Yes. For ideal results, our recommendation is to pursue your beauty regimen with our unique inside out/outside in approach, but each product can be used independently. While Sibu Beauty products will synergistically compliment each other to promote healthy skin, hair and nails, you will get great results with any of our products individually.
Is there a benefit in taking the juice supplement over the capsule?
The liquid supplement focuses on providing nutritional support for skin tone and texture, as well as hair and nail growth. The sea buckthorn softgel supplement is a combo of seed and fruit oils that nourishes and protects the cells of the body, and scavenges free radicals to slow the natural aging process. The juice also helps soothe and repair the linings of the digestive tract and uro-genital tract.
Why would I take both, or wouldn't I?
For ideal results, take both the liquid and softgel supplements daily. The softgel supplement supplies a "super dose" of Omega fatty acids, especially Omega-7. But either supplement can be taken alone.
When will I start to see results from the facial cream?
Results may vary for individuals. But some notice an immediate improvement in skin tone and texture, and often the skin takes on a healthy glow.
Is the facial cream for dry, oily or normal skin?
Sibu Beauty's Repair & Protect is good for all types of skin. The essential oils and nutrients repair, moisturize and protect skin without leaving it feeling greasy or dry.
