Rosa Canina Fruit Oil
Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, commonly known as rosehip oil, is a lightweight, nutrient-rich oil pressed from the seeds of the wild rose bush. Prized in British skincare for its natural glow-boosting properties, it has become a staple in facial oils, serums and moisturisers for its ability to nourish without feeling greasy.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil delivers a balanced supply of essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic and linolenic acid, along with natural vitamin A and E. These compounds help reinforce the skin’s lipid barrier, support smooth texture and promote a healthy, luminous appearance. Its fast-absorbing profile makes it an excellent choice for both day and night formulations, where it conditions skin and hair while providing antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.
