Rosehip Oil

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.

Botany and history of the rosehip

The rosehip plant is a deciduous shrub that is native to Europe, Asia, and North America. It is a member of the Rosaceae family, which also includes other popular fruits such as apples, pears, and peaches.

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.

The rosehip fruit is the fruit of the rose plant. Rose plants are native to temperate regions around the world. Rosehips are typically red or orange in color and are about 1-2 inches in diameter.

Rosehip turns entire parks beautifully red in the fall. On the INCI label you can recognize it by its botanical name; Rosa Mosqueta. Rosehip was almost completely forgotten a few years ago. Lately, rosehip (oil) has become very popular again. The oil extracted from the seeds of rose hips is now mainly used in facial care.

2. Strengthens the skin barrier

The high content of linoleic and linolenic acid in rosehip oil supports the skin barrier and reduces moisture loss. This results in a more hydrated and supple skin.

Rosehip oil is known for its ability to fade pigmentation spots. The combination of vitamin A and vitamin C creates a more even skin tone with regular use.
