Rosehip Oil
Rosa Canina Fruit Oil
Low Risk
Non-comedogenic · Non-irritating
Rosehip oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the Rosa canina plant and is rich in linoleic acid (omega-6) and trans-retinoic acid. Its high linoleic content makes it useful for acne-prone skin, where a deficiency of linoleic acid in sebum is linked to comedone formation. It also improves scars, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines.
