Rosehip oil: anti-ageing oil for the face

Rosehip oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the rosehip, the fruit of the wild rose. The oil is known as one of the most powerful anti-ageing plant-based oils. It is rich in trans-retinoic acid, a form of vitamin A that aids cell renewal, and in linoleic and linolenic acid that strengthen the skin barrier. We incorporate rosehip oil in our Botanical Boost Serum for rejuvenating skincare.

Rosehip plants can grow to be up to 10 feet tall and have a lifespan of up to 20 years. The plant has thorny branches and green, oval-shaped leaves. The flowers of the rosehip plant are typically white or pink in color and bloom in the spring.
