Essential fatty acids
Rosehip Oil has a high concentration of essential fatty acids, or Omegas, including Oleic, Linoleic and Linolenic. These fatty acids work to support the skin’s natural regeneration process, encouraging healthy skin cell turnover and healing for improved skin texture and plump, smooth and taut skin. Our skin cells actually need Omega 6 to help repair scar tissue, so Rosehip Oil is ideal for delivering a burst of protection to damaged skin.2

Vitamin C
Rosehip is also naturally rich in Vitamin C – actually, Rosehip was used during World War II to help combat illness (in place of fruits such as Oranges which were unavailable at the time). Rosehip is actually known for having almost 60 times the levels of Vitamin C than other citrus fruit! Vitamin C is amazing for helping to prevent free radical damage and premature ageing as well as correcting pigmentation, promoting healthy skin cell turnover for brighter, more even skin tone.2

Vitamin A
Vitamin A, also known as Retinol, is known for its ability to help combat signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles as our skin cells convert it into Retinoic Acid. Vitamin A is a powerful anti-ageing ingredient, helping to form and maintain healthy skin cells, but may be too potent as an ingredient in natural skin care for hypersensitive skin types. Rosehip Oil is actually naturally rich in Vitamin A in the form of Beta-Carotene, which is ideal for sensitive skin types as it is easily absorbed and works as a gentle antioxidant to help brighten skin tone and protect skin from environmental damage.2
