8 benefits of Rose Hip Seed Oil
Holds in moisture
Rose Hip Seed Oil forms a protective barrier on the skin that helps stop it from drying out.
Absorbs quickly
High levels of linoleic and linolenic acid let it sink in fast, so your skin feels soft rather than greasy.
Softer scars and lines
Its antioxidants support cell turnover and skin repair, which helps soften the look of scars and wrinkles and helps prevent new ones from forming.
Even, radiant tone
The same antioxidants help with sun-related discoloration and loss of tone, for skin that looks fresher and more even.
A base for skin blends
Its mild, nutty aroma stays in the background, so it makes an easy base for skin blends with Clary Sage, Carrot Seed, Lavender or Helichrysum.
Linoleic Acid
An omega-6 fatty acid that supports the skin barrier and helps maintain moisture and softness.
Alpha-Linolenic Acid
An omega-3 fatty acid valued for its soothing and skin-barrier-supportive properties.
Oleic Acid
An omega-9 fatty acid that helps soften, condition, and nourish the skin.
