We sell all three of these cold-pressed oils, and we get the same question a lot: which one should I actually buy? The honest answer is that they're not competing products — each one has a different strength, and plenty of people end up using more than one. Here's how they differ.
Sea Buckthorn Oil: The Intensive Treatment Oil
Sea buckthorn oil is deep orange-red, rich in carotenoids, and the most concentrated of the three. It's best thought of as a targeted treatment oil rather than an everyday moisturizer — a couple of drops on scars, sun spots, or areas of uneven tone, used consistently over time. Because of its strong natural pigment, it's not the oil you'd want to apply generously all over your face before heading out during the day.
Best for: scars, sun damage, uneven tone, targeted nighttime use

Apricot Oil: The Everyday, Lightweight Option
Apricot kernel oil is light, fast-absorbing, and much less pigmented than sea buckthorn oil, which makes it a good everyday face and body oil rather than a targeted treatment. It's a gentler entry point if you're new to facial oils in general, or if you want something you can use daily without worrying about staining light fabrics or skin.
Best for: daily moisturizing, sensitive skin, all-over use

Walnut Oil: The Omega-3 Option for Hair and Skin
Walnut oil stands out for its naturally high Omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) content. It's commonly used both as a skin oil and as a hair treatment, and has a slightly nuttier, heavier feel compared to apricot oil. If your main focus is hair health alongside skin, walnut oil is worth having in the routine.
Best for: hair treatments, Omega-3 focused skincare

Can You Use All Three Together?
Yes, and many people do. A simple way to think about it:
- Apricot oil — your daily, all-over moisturizer
- Walnut oil — worked through hair, or added into your routine a few times a week
- Sea buckthorn oil — a few drops, spot-applied at night, for scars or uneven tone
None of these oils are a substitute for sunscreen or dermatologist care if you're dealing with a specific skin condition — think of them as supporting steps in a routine, not a stand-alone treatment.
Which Should You Start With?
If you only want to buy one bottle to start, apricot oil is the easiest, lowest-commitment choice for daily use. If you have a specific concern like scarring or sun spots, sea buckthorn oil is worth the extra step of learning how to use it properly. If hair is your main priority, start with walnut oil.
All three are cold-pressed from Gilgit-Baltistan ingredients, sold pure, with cash on delivery available across Pakistan.
