Where Does Rosehip Seed Oil Come From?

Rosehip seed oil is pressed from the fruit and seeds of the rose plant. This magical elixir has incredible healing properties and is loaded with skin nourishing vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Rose oil on the other hand, is extracted from the rose petal.

CELL REGENERATION

Specifically, rosehip seed oil aids in regeneration, providing anti-aging benefits. It is particularly high in vitamin C, making it one of the richest plant sources for the skin. This is another reason why rosehip seed oil is a great choice. Says Dr. Axe

SKIN AGING REVERSED

Because it is high in free-radical fighting antioxidants, rosehip seed oil can be used to reverse the signs of skin aging, fight environmental pollutants and protecting the skin from the suns damaging affects.

SKIN TEXTURE IMPROVED

As a natural source of the antioxidant lycopene, rosehip seed oil improves the texture of skin and protects against premature aging.

It contains beta-carotene to reduce the appearance of skin aging by eliminating free-radical damage.

VITAMIN C

*Rosehip seed oil is also high in vitamin C, and is a natural skin anti-aging agent. Vitamin C is needed to produce collagen, a naturally occurring protein found in the body that supports elasticity and flexibility of the skin.

Vitamin C increases the synthesis of collagen. In other words, it’s the fuel needed to start the collagen-synthesis engine. Vitamin C is responsible for inducing these reactions.

VITAMIN A

Rosehip seed oil also contains vitamin A, a naturally occurring retinol, is essential for healthy skin and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

HELPS WITH SUN DAMAGE

One reason why skin wrinkles and marks appear is because of over-exposure to the sun – it is one of the top 10 causes of premature aging of your face. The sun’s UV rays may also cause spots on the face that result in wrinkles or discoloration. The antioxidants in rosehip seed oil seem to repair damages while the essential fatty acid content improves skin tone, pigmentation and texture.

Plus! being in the sun too long can also damage collagen production. Collagen levels drop as you age. But the vitamin C content in rosehip seed oil can help restore collagen production to normal. - Healthy and Natural World, Jenny Hills, Medical Writer and Researcher
