“This wonderful ingredient makes an excellent moisturiser which is suited to all skin types and particularly beneficial to more mature skins.”

The main components of Rosehip Seed Oil are the Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids which the body itself is unable to manufacture. Their role in attracting oxygen from red blood cells through the capillary walls helps replenish the skin from within.

It is also rich in vitamins A and C and studies have shown it to be a useful oil for reducing scars and wrinkles and restoring lost natural skin colour and tone. Like coconut oil it is a natural sunscreen which allows the body to build up its own resistance to the sun. Whilst it should not be used in place of a sunscreen for sunbathing it can be beneficial on a daily basis as extra protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Some cases of acne, dermatitis and eczema have been shown to respond well to the use of this oil.

Pure natural Rosehip Seed Oil is a beautiful amber colour and has no discernible aroma. It should be gently massaged into slightly damp skin and left to absorb for 10 minutes before applying make-up.
