Rosa Canina Fruit Oil
Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, also 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, primarily linoleic and linolenic acid, along with vitamin A and E. These compounds help reinforce the skin’s lipid barrier, support natural renewal processes and provide antioxidant protection against environmental stressors. Its fast-absorbing texture makes it an excellent carrier oil in facial blends, helping to soften and condition the skin while imparting a healthy, dewy appearance.
