How can I remove a stain from sea buckthorn oil?

How to remove sea buckthorn oil from clothes? This question is often asked by the hostess.

But still the situation is not hopeless. If such pollution appears on clothing, you can wash it with folk methods or purchase special products to remove stubborn dirt. Of course, if sea buckthorn oil or a cosmetic product based on it got on clothes, it is advisable to immediately remove it, preventing it from drying out.
