Rosehip oil is a well-known ingredient in skincare, used for its numerous benefits for the skin. Derived from the seeds of the rose bush, this oil is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids, making it an effective and natural solution for a range of skin concerns, which is why we feature it in our #1 selling night cream, Dream Cream Nighttime Moisturizer and our Golden State Nourishing Facial Oil.
What is Rosehip Oil?
Rosehip oil is extracted from the seeds of the rose bush, specifically the Rosa Canina variety. This variety is known for producing high-quality, nutrient-rich oil that is ideal for skincare. Our Dream Cream Nighttime Moisturizer features a healthy percentage of rosehip oil. The oil is pressed from the seeds, and the result is a light and nourishing oil that is easily absorbed by the skin.
Benefits of Rosehip Oil for the Skin
-
Hydrates the skin
Rosehip oil is rich in essential fatty acids, such as linoleic and linolenic acid, which help to hydrate and plump the skin. This hydration helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful, radiant appearance.
-
Promotes skin healing
Rosehip oil is also rich in vitamins A and C, which are known for their ability to promote skin healing. Vitamin A, for example, helps to stimulate cell turnover, which can help to improve the appearance of scars and other skin damage. Vitamin C, on the other hand, helps to protect the skin against oxidative stress, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage.
-
Brightens the skin
Rosehip oil is also known for its ability to brighten the skin, thanks to its high concentration of antioxidants. These antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals, which can cause damage to the skin, leading to a dull and tired appearance. By incorporating rosehip oil into your skincare routine, you can help to brighten and rejuvenate your skin, giving it a more radiant and youthful appearance.
-
Balances skin tone
Rosehip oil is also effective in balancing skin tone, thanks to its ability to regulate oil production. If you have oily skin, rosehip oil can help to control excess oil, reducing the risk of breakouts and other skin concerns. If you have dry skin, rosehip oil can help to add moisture, leaving your skin feeling soft, supple, and hydrated.
-
Improves skin texture
In addition to its other benefits, rosehip oil is also known for improving skin texture. By adding moisture to the skin, it helps to reduce the appearance of rough, dry patches, giving the skin a smoother and more even texture. Additionally, rosehip oil's high concentration of antioxidants helps to improve the overall health of the skin, making it look and feel better over time.
