Rosehip Oil

Description

Rose Hip Oil is a pressed seed oil, extracted from the seeds of a wild rose bush (Rosa Moschata or Rosa Rubiginosa) in the southern Andes. Rosehip seed oil can also be extracted from Rosa canina, which grows in many regions of the world. Rose hip oil is a fruit oil extracted from the hip of the rose. The hip is the fruit that is left after a rose has bloomed and the petals have fallen.

SKIN CARE BENEFITS

SKIN REJUVENATION: Rosehip oil’s vitamin A is known to promote healthy skin cell rejuvenation, which causes skin to glow and appear fresh and supple. The rejuvenation works on normal skin and also skin damaged by scarring or the sun.

PIGMENT REDUCTION: The vitamin C in rosehip oil reduces the appearance of dark spots, aging spots and hyper-pigmentation. Apply the oil to the affected area to see a reduction in unsightly dark spots over time.

IMPROVED COMPLEXION: If you suffer from dryness or eczema, nourishing rosehip oil will calm and moisturize your skin with regular application. Just do an “allergy test” on a hidden area of your body before applying to irritated patches of skin to make sure you don’t have a reaction to the oil.

MESS-FREE MOISTURE RETENTION: Rosehip oil packs a powerful punch of moisture for dry or mature skin, which can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. And unlike other oils, the smooth and light texture of rosehip oil is unlikely to clog your pores.

BONUS: Healthy nails. Nail health isn’t exactly a part of your skin care routine, but regularly dabbing a bit of rosehip oil on your nails and cuticles will prevent hangnails and nail breakage.
