Rose Hip Seed Oil Virgin Organic
(Rosa Moschata)
From the Latin words “rosaceae” and “moschata” (musky)…
The Rose Hip bush grows in the Andes, primarily in Chile and Peru, and often reaches 8 feet in height.
Rose Hips contain more Vitamin C than oranges. In fact, they have about 20 times as much.
This natural oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the rose plant which are enclosed in a fleshy receptacle called the “rose hip”. Rich in vitamin C this oil is an excellent product for many types of skin treatments.
Validated by the cosmetic and dermatological industries to have beneficial effects, Rose Hip Oil Organic is most commonly used to hydrate skin and treat eczema and psoriasis. It can be obtained in both an oil or lotion form.
Rose Hip Seed Oil Organic is a healing oil with antiseptic properties. It contains high amounts of linoleic acid and Vitamin C, as well as smaller amounts of trans-retinoic acid. Found to be a tissue regenerator, Rose Hip Seed Oil also has a natural retinoic acid that helps to prevent premature aging, minimize wrinkles, and reduce stretch marks and other spots and scars.
Rose Hip Seed Oil Organic is a siccative oil with a high content of non-saturated fatty acids, such as oleic, linoleic and linoleic Acid. The presence of flavonoids, Vitamin C, a ketonic compound and trans-rhodanic acids have been detected, which probably contribute to Rose Hip Seed Oil’s natural therapeutic properties.
