Rosehip oil is rich in a cross-section of nutrients which are all highly beneficial for skin health:
- Vitamin E, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant, may help with sun damage and combat skin's natural ageing process.
- Vitamin C is protective and repairing to UV damage and the effects of ageing. It has also been shown in studies to impact hyper-pigmentation.
- Fatty acids, omega 3, 6 and 9, which are essential for regeneration of damaged skin tissue.
- Phenols have antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties, which makes it non-irritating for eczema-prone skin and can make it helpful in irritating skin issues.
Rosehip oil is most prized for its application in signs of ageing skin - wrinkles, sun damage, dryness etc. In studies, it has been shown useful for:
- Wrinkles
- Scars and burns
- Stretch marks
- Pigmentation
- Dry sensitive skin
- Sun damage
- Acne and acne scarring
