Our organic Rosehip oil, extracted from the fruit of the rosa canina rose bush, is also known as rosehip seed oil, and has been prized since ancient times for its beneficial properties. Rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, it has been shown to have antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal abilities, making it wonderful for skin care. This versatile oil has a plethora of applications and benefits for the skin, including being rich in vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant, protecting skin cells from damage and disease. It helps with repairing skin after sun damage and reduces aging caused by overexposure to the sun.

Another benefit of rosehip oil is that it contains carotenoids, helpful in creating new skin cells and keeping skin healthy and fresh. Vitamin F is also present, a moisture-trapping agent that protects skin against damage.

Rosehip oil has been shown to be useful in treating acne due to its retinoid content, which helps to regulate the production of new skin cells, promoting healthy skin and preventing clogged pores, blackheads and reducing inflammation. Its phenol content, antifungal and antibacterial substances, helps with eczema, an inflammatory skin condition, by repairing the skin barrier and moisturizing the skin.

Early studies show that rosehip oil can help reduce the appearance of scars by significantly reducing scar discoloration and appearance, while in another study, the use of rosehip oil with vitamin E and other oils have helped pregnant women avoid severe stretch marks, although more research is needed to determine the effectiveness of rosehip oil alone.

Although side effects are rare, some individuals may be allergic to rosehip oil.
