Rose Hip Oil
There you are❣️ I SEE YOU.
It’s Dr. Hope here to tell you a little bit about rosehip oil.
Rosehip oil is extracted from the seeds of Rosa rubiginosa, Rosa moschata or the fruit of Rosa canina. It is quickly absorbed and provides a silky skin feel. The preferred version of this oil would be the cold pressed unrefined version, so as to preserve the properties of the oil and avoid alteration to its composition or therapeutic effects.
Rosehip oil contains a substantial amount of unsaturated fatty acids. Especially linoleic acid, followed by alpha-linoleic acids, two essential fatty acids. They help repair the skin lipid barrier and provide anti-inflammatory properties.
It also contains polyphenols such as garlic acid, quercetin and catechins, antioxidants namely carotenoids and Vitamins A, and E, as well which help to protect against oxidative stress.
Rosehip is an important ingredient in skincare products targeting premature skin aging due to its anti-oxidant properties, thus preventing wrinkles. The unrefined version of this oil helps preserve its chemical components such as tretinoin, a vitamin A derivative, which helps reduce hyperpigmentation and provide rejuvenating properties.
There you have it, rosehip oil in a nutshell.
Here’s to you taking care of your skin, one breath at a time.
