Rosehip Seed Oil is a cold-pressed oil extracted from the seeds of the wild rose (Rosa canina), prized for its high content of essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), vitamins A, C, and E, and antioxidants. This oil is known for its ability to deeply hydrate the skin, repair damaged tissues, and promote skin regeneration, making it a popular ingredient in anti-aging, moisturizing, and scar-healing formulations.
Rosehip Seed Oil is lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin without feeling greasy, making it suitable for both facial and body care. It is known to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks while promoting a more even skin tone. It’s also effective in helping to fade hyperpigmentation and reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scars.
Its gentle, nourishing properties make it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and dry skin.
