Product Notes:
A lightweight oil which penetrates the skin easily and gets absorbed very well, a little goes a long way, rosehip oil is suitable for all ages and skin types.
Rose hip oil is rich in fatty acids and vitamins A and C and other nutrients, which can help soften, moisturize, brighten the skin and improve its elasticity, and help prevent and repair skin cell damage.
It also contains an active ingredient called trans-retinoic acid (tretinoin), which may be able to improve or prevent some types of photodamage caused by prolonged sun exposure (such as wrinkles and pigmentation changes).
Rosehip oil has also been used for a long time to help reduce surgical scars, and at least one study has shown it to be useful in getting a better outcome in reducing redness and other discoloration and other appearance factors immediately after cosmetic surgery.
Please note, rose hip oil is derived from the seeds, not the flowers, so it does not smell like a rose.
Ingredients:
Organic Rose Hip Oil (Rosa rubiginosa or Rosa moschata) seed oil, with added organic rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) leaf extract as a preservative.
Certified Organic by Pro-Cert.
