Atopic dermatitis is an allergy-related skin disease that is associated with a variety of factors, including: genetic, immune, and environmental factors. It is estimated to occur in 15–30% of children and 2–10% of adults. The main symptom of the disease is chronic and recurrent prurigo, which often occurs with asthma, allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and food allergies.
A double-blind controlled study (4 months in 49 patients with atopic dermatitis) found that both sea buckthorn fruit oil and sea buckthorn seed oil can help improve the symptoms of atopic dermatitis, but the sample size is small and needs to be Further verification.

Cardiovascular disease is a general term that refers to a variety of diseases with similar pathological symptoms, such as coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease, rheumatic and congenital heart disease, and venous thromboembolism. The World Health Organization found that about 75% of early-onset cardiovascular disease can be prevented by improving external factors, such as smoking, stress, obesity, impatient personality, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and inactivity.

Although sea buckthorn oil is rich in Omega-3-6-9 and antioxidants, which may help reduce cardiovascular risk factors, more empirical confirmation is needed.

Dry eye is a multifactorial disorder caused by abnormalities in the tear fluid and the surface of the eyeball. It can present with a variety of symptoms, including pain, dryness, gritty, itching, redness, foreign body sensation, light sensitivity, or fatigue. Originally, the disease was prevalent among middle-aged and elderly people, but due to the excessive use of mobile phones and computers, the incidence of young people has risen sharply.
A double-blind controlled study (3 months in 100 dry eye patients) found that in addition to reducing tear film osmolarity, sea buckthorn oil reduced eye redness and burning sensation symptom. Tear osmolarity is one of the criteria for diagnosing dry eye. Too high a value will activate the inflammatory pathway and cause damage to the ocular epithelial cells.

Liver fibrosis is caused by a variety of liver diseases, mainly related to chronic viral infection, alcohol consumption and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This fibrotic process is primarily caused by a prolonged and prolonged wound-healing response (ie, chronic inflammation), often resulting in excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins and the formation of fibrous scars and nodules. The result of long-term fibrosis of liver cells may develop into cirrhosis, end-stage liver disease or liver cancer.
A randomized controlled study (6 months in 50 patients with stage I and II liver cirrhosis) found that sea buckthorn extract can significantly reduce laminin, hyaluronic acid, type III and IV collagen and total bile acid values (indicating beneficial effects on disease progression).
