Organic Rosehip
¹While rosehip oil and rose oil both come from the rose bush, rosehip oil and rose oil aren’t one and the same. Rose oil is an essential oil that smells like a bouquet of roses and is taken from the flowers, while rosehip oil is harvested from the fruit. This fruit is especially high in vitamin C as well aspro-vitamin A (which is different from your common retinol vitamin A), vitamin D, vitamin E, flavonoids, carotenoids, beta sitosterol, and plenty of other difficult-to-pronounce but extremely beneficial vitamins and minerals. Rosehip oil has been used medicinally for centuries; some cite the oil as a cure for everything from the common cold to infectious and inflammatory diseases.
Used In: Super Shea Butter Cream, Super Ten Blend, & Super Shea Butter Oil.
Common Uses For Rosehip Oil
To Hydrate & Exfoliate Skin & Promote Collagen Production.
Rosehip’s fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic) make it an excellent treatment for dry skin. Because rosehip oil is high in vitamin A which promotes cell turnover, it may offer natural exfoliation. Rosehip oil is also high in Vitamins A and C that are essential for collagen production.
To Combat Sun Damage & Scarring.
While rosehip oil shouldn’t be used in place of sunscreen, its abundance of vitamins A, C, and E may help combat visible sun damage and prevent photoaging. Rosehip’s fatty acids and antioxidants encourage tissue and cell regeneration as well.
