Description

Most commercial rosehip oil now comes from Chile and grows wild in the Southern Andes. Rosehip oil is the only vegetable oil, which contains natural tretinoin, the acid form of vitamin A also known as all-trans-retinoic acid or ATRA in quantities of 125mcg per every 100g. Shelf life is normally 6 months but Aromantic adds 0.5% vitamin E oil to our rosehip oils just after production, so the shelf life is extended to 2 years.

Skin Care

It is an excellent source of trans-retinoic acid (a natural precursor of vitamin A), which is also very good for treating all kinds of skin infections such as acne, pimples and boils. It is also useful in the repair of damaged skin tissue caused by scalds, burns, varicose veins and skin over-exposed to sunlight, and for treating oily skin, sensitive skin, and reducing or healing fine lines around the eyes, wrinkles and scars. Rosehip is amongst the best vegetable oil source of omega 3 and is also a good source of omega 6, both essential fatty acids collectively known as vitamin F, involved in cellular membrane and tissue regeneration and normalising skin with large pores.

Rosehip is classic oil for sensitive skin, and a luxurious vegetable oil, which is very effective for cell and tissue regeneration. Its consistency is dry to very dry and rosehip oil is considered to be one of the best anti-wrinkle oils available today. It soothes the fine wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth. It gives elasticity to the skin and helps against skin aging. As the oil has a short surface time on the skin, being rapidly absorbed by the skin and not leaving any fatty residue, which makes it an excellent face oil. It can also be used undiluted (100%).

Rosehip is very healing for skin damaged by, or over-exposed to, ultraviolet radiation from the sun or x-ray radiation. Always add vitamin A and E oils to these before and after sun products.

Cooking

Rosehip oil is very dry and thin and should never be heated over 40°C due to its high content of omega 3. One of the best vegetable oil sources of omega 3. Good to use in dressings for that reason. Because it has a strong taste and smell it is best to blend it with other more neutral oils. Use up to 20-30% in a dressing.

Use with other classic oils for sensitive skin

Because rosehip, along with apricot and peach kernel, are the classic oils for sensitive skin due to their softness and smoothness, use them together in oil blends and creams.

In Anti-Wrinkle and Skin Rejuvenation Products

Blend rosehip oil with other thin, dry oils high in omega 3, such a skiwi seed, chia seed, blueberry seed and camelina.
