Although tea tree oil can be effective, it can be very drying, almost like a peel on sensitive skin. Did I mention the stuff smells like camphor?? Sea Buckthorn Oil (SBT) is an incredible Anti- bacterial, fungal, microbial and parasitic essential oil that meets many needs. In chinese studies, it’s shown to kill the mite while healing the skin tissue. I use it for dandruff, seborheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. I’ve added it to my shampoo, as a daily treatment and my moisturize. My little liquid gold for probelm skin.

I’ve been using Sea Buchthorn Oil for the last six years with my Skin Care for the Scalp treatments. Much like the face, the demodex can colonize the scalp causing inflammation, creepy crawly itch and hair loss. SBT oil is a primary tool to use against the parasite. Don’t be put off by it’s orange color. This light oil absorbs nicely into the skin, helping to heal and hydrate. A little goes a long way. Do not waste it by using too much. If used consistantly, SBT oil can be a winning tool in the fight against the demodex and other chronic scalp conditions.
