When it comes to facial oils (whether pure or in skin care), rosehip oil is among many peoples’ favourite - and for good reason. On its own, it’s a nourishing, yet not overly greasy facial oil that brightens and moisturises skin. Rosehip oil skin care products have a spot in everyone’s skincare routine!

What Is Organic Rosehip Oil Skin Care?

Well, that starts with answering what rosehips are in the first place - they’re the ‘fruit’ left behind after a rose wilts. Rosehip oil skin care is usually made with a specific type of rose too - Rosa canina, aka the dog rose. 

Many people think that rosehip oil will smell like roses due to its floral origin - however, this bright orange oil doesn’t have much of a scent at all! That’s because it’s pressed from the brightly coloured fruit - not the petals.

What gives rosehip oil and rosehip oil skin care it’s unique orangey-red colour are the types of antioxidants in it - it’s packed full of beta-carotene, the same antioxidant that’s found in carrots and capsicums. As an antioxidant, it helps to protect skin from wrinkle-causing external stressors for younger-looking skin.

Who Should Use Rosehip Oil Skin Care?

Rosehip oil skin care products can be used by all skin types - this natural oil has benefits against anti-ageing, hyperpigmentation, and breakouts.

For a concentrated dose of rosehip oil, opt for a pure organic rosehip oil skincare facial oil treatment. In pure form, it’s the ideal facial oil for oily skin. Rosehip oil has a unique blend of fatty acids that help to balance sebum, preventing it from blocking pores and not feeling too greasy.

Rosehip oil also has an unusually high level of linoleic acid - a specific type of fatty acid (like an omega-3) that can help to brighten hyperpigmentation left behind by acne and sun damage for brighter, glowing skin!
