Cold press rosehip seed oil.
Application:
Rosehip oil contains vitamin C and vitamin A. It also contains essential fatty acids such as:
- oleic acid
- palmitic acid
- linoleic acid
Rosehip oil is also a good source of vitamin F, a fatty acid made of linoleic acid and alpha-linoleic acid.
Rosehip oil is an alternative and complementary medicine, so there aren’t many studies proving its effectiveness. Anecdotal evidence supports its value as a skin care product.
