| This oil is cold pressed from rosehips; the small, round, orange/red fruit that sits behind the flower and will carry the seeds after the rose has bloomed. Balancing and regenerative, Rosehip Seed Oil can benefit a wide range of skin imbalances and is commonly recommended for scarring, mature skin and applications that call for skin rejuvenation. It contains equally high amounts of alpha-linolenic and linoleic acids, and is used to provide the skin with a protective lipid barrier that keeps it young and soft. Already a small amount nourishes the skin tremendously. Rosehip Seed Oil's high content of antioxidants make it invaluable in natural facial and body care. Composition of Rose hip Oil: - Linoleic Acid 40%
- Alpha-linolenic Acid 40%
- Oleic Acid 15%
- Palmitic Acid 3%
- Unsaponifiables 0.8%
