Rosehip Seed Oil

Rosa moschata seed oil, commonly known as rosehip seed oil, is derived from the seeds of the Rosa moschata or Rosa rubiginosa species of rose plants. These plants are native to certain regions of Europe, South America, and Africa. Rosehip seed oil is widely used in skincare due to its high content of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, which contribute to its moisturizing, rejuvenating, and skin-nourishing properties.

Its high content of linoleic acid helps to strengthen the skin's barrier function, locking in moisture and preventing dehydration. Furthermore, its vitamin A content aids in cell regeneration and collagen production, promoting skin renewal and improving elasticity.
