7 Essential Nutrients for Healthy Hair and Skin

Having healthy hair and beautiful skin is a common desire for many people. While external care routines are important, the key to achieving vibrant hair and glowing skin starts from within.

Specifically, it depends on the amount of nutrients you're getting or, in many cases, not getting. In this blog post, we'll highlight seven essential nutrients that play a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair that's shiny & healthy without the split ends and clear, supple skin that radiates a deep youthful glow from within.

Omega-7 fatty acids are a lesser-known but highly beneficial type of fatty acid for hair and skin health.

These fatty acids help maintain moisture levels, promote collagen production, and support skin elasticity. They also contribute to a healthy scalp and encourage hair growth. That's why our secret (not so secret) ingredient, T7® sea buckthorn, is in all of our products here at SIBU.

This tiny berry is packed with Omega-7 fatty acids and a host of other powerful nutrients that can help with your hair and skin from the inside. For an easy daily boost, we recommend taking Omega 7 Soft-Gels.

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is essential for healthy hair and skin. It supports the production of keratin, a protein that forms the foundation of hair and skin cells.

Biotin deficiency can lead to brittle hair loss and dry skin. Including biotin-rich foods in your diet, such as eggs, nuts, and salmon, can be beneficial. But biotin can come with a down downside, potentially triggering acne breakouts. Is there something better than biotin?

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects hair and skin cells from damage caused by free radicals. It helps retain moisture, promotes elasticity, and reduces inflammation.

Incorporating vitamin E-rich foods like almonds, spinach, and avocados into your diet can benefit your hair and skin health. Vitamin E is also found in the sea buckthorn oil used in all our products. Try using our Hydrating Facial Serum to infuse nutrients into the deeper levels of your skin and maximize the benefits of vitamin E.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for maintaining healthy hair and skin. They contribute to a healthy scalp, promote hair growth, and help combat dryness and inflammation. Including sources rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, can nourish your hair and skin.

Zinc is a crucial mineral for proper hair growth and skin health. It supports the production of new cells, maintains oil glands, and aids in collagen synthesis. Incorporating zinc-rich foods such as oysters, pumpkin seeds, and lentils into your diet can promote healthy hair and skin.

Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis, which helps maintain the structure and elasticity of hair and skin. It is also a potent antioxidant that protects against oxidative stress. Including vitamin C-rich foods such as citrus fruits, strawberries, and bell peppers in your diet can support collagen production and contribute to healthy hair and skin.

Silica is a trace mineral that promotes strong and healthy hair and skin. It contributes to collagen production, supports hair follicle strength, and enhances skin elasticity. Foods like cucumbers, oats, and bananas are natural sources of this mineral.

Healthy hair and beautiful skin are achievable goals that sometimes require a holistic approach, but you can do it! Understanding the importance of nourishing our bodies from within can unlock the key to vibrant hair and glowing skin. Adding some of the foods mentioned above alongside sea buckthorn oil can be a fantastic way to start making changes today.
