Content:

Unrefined oil from Bulgarian Rosehip Seeds (Rosa canina seed oil).

Rosehip oil comes from the seeds of a specific variety of rose, Rosa aff. rubiginosa or Rosa moschata. A cold-press extraction method separates the oil from the hips and seeds. The delicate oil needs refrigerated or stored in a cool, dark location to prevent rancidity. For facial skin care, rosehip oil offers several benefits when applied externally due to its primary constituents: essential fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin C and B-carotene, a form of vitamin A.

Anti-Aging

The anti-aging benefit from using rosehip oil on your face comes about due to the antioxidants and the oil’s ability to penetrate into deeper layers of skin. Vitamin C antioxidants stimulate collagen production, according to the Cleveland Clinic. It also helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The oil can penetrate due to vitamin A, which has small enough molecules to go deeper into the skin. Vitamin A improves the skin’s moisture levels and reduces wrinkles and fine lines.

Photo-aging Protection

The UV rays of the sun damage to skin and cause photoaging. The results on the face vary from spots to wrinkles and discoloration. The combination of properties in rosehip oil seems to combat the damage. The antioxidants, which combat free radicals that cause damage, and vitamin A, combined with the oil’s essential fatty acids, help improve skin tone, texture, and pigmentation. Sun exposure plays a role in decreased collagen, which vitamin C can help counteract. The oil is deeply moisturizing and aids in removing redness and irritation. These properties also make rosehip oil a possible treatment for facial rosacea.

Scar Treatment

The essential fatty acids in rosehip seed oil can help reduce scarring and promote skin regeneration, as reported by CenterChem Inc. Essential fatty acids are emollients, which improve skin flexibility and permeability. Emollients also aid in skin repair. Vitamin A may also play a part in rosehip oil’s effect on scar tissue due to its ability to improve skin texture and tone.

Usage Tips

Due to its susceptibility to rancidity, Bulgarian rosehip oil can have pure vitamin E oil added to improve shelf life. Rosehip oil classifies as a dry oil and absorbs quickly into the skin. You can apply the oil directly to the face using gentle, massaging motions or use it in skin care recipes. Apply the oil twice a day and allow it to absorb into the skin. Rosehip oil doesn’t protect against sunburn. While it can prevent and reduce acne scars, it shouldn’t be applied directly to active acne.
