Rosehip Fruit Oil

Rosehip fruit oil is a lightweight, nutrient-rich oil pressed from the seeds of wild rose hips. Popular in UK skincare for its natural glow-boosting properties, it is prized for helping to improve skin texture and tone. It is a favourite in facial oils, serums and moisturisers for both day and night use.

How it works in skincare

In cosmetics and skincare, rosehip fruit oil delivers a balanced blend of essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic and linolenic acid, along with vitamin A (as natural retinoids) and vitamin E. These components help support the skin’s moisture barrier, soften rough patches and promote a smoother, more even complexion. Its fast-absorbing texture makes it an excellent addition to facial oils, night creams and hair treatments without leaving a greasy residue.
