HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sea Buckthorn Powder by BulkSupplements.com

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 10, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: sea buckthorn powder. There are no other inactive ingredients listed.

Sea buckthorn is a berry from a shrub native to coastal and mountainous regions; the powder is made from the whole fruit and has been used traditionally in herbal medicine.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Sea Buckthorn's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Sea Buckthorn for:

  • Burns Possibly Effective
Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Burns — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for sea buckthorn's effectiveness is mixed and incomplete. It's rated possibly effective for burns, meaning there's some evidence it may help, but it's not definitive.

For atopic dermatitis (eczema), the data suggests it's possibly ineffective. For dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fats), aging skin, and cancer, we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate it one way or the other.

If you're considering it for any of these uses, talk it over with your doctor to see if the evidence makes sense for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sea Buckthorn

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Sea buckthorn is generally well tolerated when eaten as a food, but safety data on supplement doses hasn't been fully studied — so use caution and check with your doctor before starting. High doses may cause yellow staining of the skin; one case reported generalized yellowing after someone took 100 grams daily for six months.

When applied topically, sea buckthorn oil can cause dryness, irritation, redness, or rash — rash showed up in 4% of patients in one study. There isn't enough reliable safety data on supplement use while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're nursing.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Sea Buckthorn.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 289 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin, clopidogrel, or aspirin for clot prevention) or any blood pressure medications — sea buckthorn may increase bleeding risk or lower your pressure too much.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Sea buckthorn powder might be worth considering if you're interested in its traditional uses, but the evidence for most claims is either weak or missing. The main caution is if you take blood thinners or blood pressure medications — those need a conversation with your doctor first.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you're on any prescription drugs or planning to breastfeed.

Sea Buckthorn Powder by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Sea Buckthorn Powder by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sea Buckthorn Powder has a known interaction with 289 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sea Buckthorn Powder contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does sea buckthorn actually work for burns or eczema?
For burns, there's some evidence it may help, so it's rated possibly effective. For eczema, the data suggests it's possibly ineffective. The evidence isn't strong either way, so talk with your doctor about whether it makes sense for what you're dealing with.
What are the side effects?
At high doses, sea buckthorn can stain your skin yellow — one person who took 100 grams daily for six months developed generalized yellowing. If you apply the oil topically, it may cause dryness, irritation, redness, or rash in a small number of people. When used internally, side effects appear to be rare.
Is it safe to take while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety data on supplement doses while breastfeeding, so we can't say either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they know your situation and can give you personalized advice.
Is this powder safe compared to food amounts of sea buckthorn?
Sea buckthorn is generally well tolerated as a food, but safety data on supplement doses is limited. Use caution with supplements and ask your doctor before starting, since we don't know as much about how safe high doses are.
What is sea buckthorn and where does it come from?
Sea buckthorn is a berry from a shrub found in coastal and mountainous regions. This powder is made from the whole fruit and has been used in traditional herbal medicine.
