Rose and Rosehip Seed Oil

EWG Rating

Scientific Name: {Rosa}
Common Name: {Rose extract}

This oil is made from the rosehip seed, which appears on rose plants after pollination. These little fruits make all sorts of food, from jam to tea. In addition, rosehip seeds have anti-aging and health benefits.

The main component in rosehip seed oil is vitamin C, which provides all of the oil's health benefits, including its ability to hydrate the skin.

Vitamin C in rosehip seed oil is both a powerful natural antioxidant, and cell protector from free radicals. Free radicals can cause premature aging when exposed to too much sun.

These free radicals quickly replicate in the skin and manifest as the early appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin's surface.

Rosehip seed oil is made from a cold-press method. Heat-pressed oils often make the oils rancid. Cold-pressed skincare products last longer and are much better for the skin.

Though it is technically an oil, rosehip will not clog your pores. Instead, it is one of the best hydrators for the skin, providing deep, lasting moisture without leaving behind a greasy sheen on its surface.

This oil can help train cells to hold on to the natural moisture that the skin creates, allowing the skin to look healthier from the inside out. In addition, by strengthening cell walls, they stay hydrated longer. This means the skin's barrier remains moisturized.

Rose and Rosehip Seed Oil for Mature Skin

The rosehip seed oil also contains some essential fatty acids that, when applied topically, can help eliminate the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and even stretch marks.

Rose regenerates by plumping the skin with moisture. Loaded with Vitamin C, it's a powerful antioxidant with essential fatty acids that hydrate with additional hydration.

Proper moisture levels are one of the vital aspects of both clear skin tone and healthy-looking skin. It trains our barrier to hold onto hydrators and soothes and nourishes them.

It can help fade age spots and improve psoriasis, burns, hyperpigmentation, and dry and mature complexion.
