What is Rosehip Oil?

Rosehip oil is extracted from the hip of the rose. This is the fruit left once the rose has bloomed and lost its petals. Inside the fruit are the seeds from which the oil is extracted and cold pressed. It is then ready to use.

Why is Rosehip Oil Good for your Skin?

With it's long list of beneficial properties, it's little wonder this natural oil is espoused by skin care professionals the world over. Let's take a closer look at the them:
  • Essential fatty acids (EFA's), omega 3,6 and 9. This is the go-to oil to really infuse your skin with moisturising EFA's. It is also perfectly pH balanced to cater to every skin type and is light and highly absorbable to make moisturising a breeze. Watch out fine lines!
  • Vitamins E, C and A, the holy trinity of skin care vitamins. Vitamin C is a great anti-ageing antioxidant that also brightens skin. Vitamin E is anti-inflammatory and also an antioxidant so is great for anti-ageing as well as treating redness, eczema and dermatitis. It has high amounts of trans retinoic acid that converts to Vitamin A. This treats the deeper layers, helping boost the skin's structure and fight laxity through its collagen generating power.
  • Rosehip oil contains 2 super antioxidants lycopene and beta carotene. These are fairly specific to rosehip oil and are excellent at fighting ageing, texture and sun damage due to their very high free radical scavenging action.

Rosehip oil is beneficial for and able to be used on all skin types. It is especially effective at reviving and plumping mature and dry skin, and as it has a similar molecular structure to sebum, it is easily absorbed on oily skin.
