Rosehip Oil
Rosehip oil is a lightweight, nutrient-rich carrier oil pressed from the seeds of wild roses. Prized in British skincare for its natural glow-boosting properties, it has become a staple in facial oils, serums and moisturisers for those seeking a radiant, healthy-looking complexion.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, rosehip oil delivers a balanced blend of essential fatty acids, primarily linoleic and linolenic acid, along with vitamins A and C and antioxidants. These components help support the skin’s natural barrier, promote a smoother texture and contribute to a more even, luminous appearance when used in creams, facial oils and treatment serums.
