Product Description

Rosehip oil, also known as rosehip seed oil, is a natural oil extracted from the seeds of the rose plant, Rosa canina. This oil is packed with essential fatty acids, linoleic acid and linolenic acid, for soothing and nourishing properties.

As a carrier oil, rosehip oil is used in aromatherapy and skincare due to its quick absorption into the skin without leaving a residue. It’s also full of antioxidants, vitamins A and C to protect the skin from UV damage and overall skin health.

For centuries, rosehip oil has been used to support the appearance of skin affected by facial scarring, stretch marks, and damage. It’s a great choice for those who want to improve their skin naturally.

Our Organic Rosehip Seed CO₂ Extract is a pure, natural oil extracted through supercritical CO₂ extraction, preserving the full spectrum of beneficial compounds from Rosa Canina seeds. Unlike cold pressing, the CO2 extraction method uses high pressure and low temperature to preserve the integrity of the raw plant material, resulting in a better product.

This extract is rich in essential fatty acids, Omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) and Omega-6 (linoleic acid) to moisturise and nourish the skin. It also contains natural antioxidants like Vitamin A and carotenoids to improve skin texture and balance complexion.This method ensures the extract retains its natural vitamins and essential fatty acids, including oleic acid, to treat various skin conditions and improve skin elasticity.

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil and Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract is added to enhance the stability and shelf life of the product, so it’s effective for longer. With a shelf life of up to 2 years, this extract is a great addition to your skincare formulations. Just a few drops of this extract can be added to your favourite carrier oils or skincare products to boost their nourishing properties.

The extract is derived from the seeds of wild rose, Rosa canina, and is known to improve scars and skin health. It can also be used in massage to enhance circulation and nourish the skin.

Compared to Essential Oils

Rosehip oil is often compared to essential oils due to its high content of antioxidants and essential fatty acids. But rosehip oil is a carrier oil to dilute essential oils, not an essential oil itself.

Essential oils are highly concentrated and can be irritating to the skin if used undiluted. Rosehip oil is a gentle and nourishing oil to dilute essential oils, to enhance their benefits, and promote skin health.

Using rosehip oil as a carrier oil can help to enhance the therapeutic properties of essential oils, making them safer and more effective for skincare. You get the best of both worlds, radiant and healthy skin.
