Rosehip Oil - Virgin Organic
Rosehip Oil - Virgin Organic
Rosehip Oil (Virgin, Organic)
Organic Rosehip Oil is a cold-pressed, virgin oil extracted from the hips of the wild rose, Rosa canina, sustainably wild-harvested in Lesotho, Southern Africa, supporting local communities. Lightweight and fast-absorbing, it's a favourite ingredient in DIY skincare, haircare and cosmetic formulations.
Rosehip oil is naturally rich in vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids, including a form of vitamin A related to the active ingredient in Retin-A — though rosehip oil itself is a cosmetic ingredient, not a pharmaceutical, and works far more gently and gradually. It has been reported to help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, fine lines and dry skin, and may help support the skin's natural regeneration process and the appearance of age spots, sun damage and hyperpigmentation, and may help with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis — though individual results vary, and this is a cosmetic ingredient rather than a substitute for medical treatment. In haircare, it may help moisturise and condition strands, adding shine and helping protect brittle or colour-treated hair.
Apply a few drops to clean skin and massage gently until absorbed, or apply a small amount to damp hair to help condition and protect against dryness. In DIY formulations, use as a base for serums, moisturisers or other cosmetic products. Test small batches to perfect your recipe.
Botanical Name: Rosa canina (Rosehip) Seed Oil.
Safety information: generally well tolerated on all skin types. This oil has a shorter shelf life than many carrier oils due to its high polyunsaturated fatty acid content — use within 6–12 months of opening and store in a cool, dark place. A patch test is recommended before first use — see the Safety Data Sheet and Ingredient & Allergen Statement in the Product Documents section below for full detail.
