ROSE HIP SEED OIL
.
Our Rose hip seed oil is certified Organic & sourced from Chile.
Rose Hip Seed oil comes from the seeds of a specific variety of rose, Rosa aff. rubiginosa or Rosa moschata, which is the fruit left behind after a rose has flowered and dropped its petals. Rosehip oil is harvested. By using a cold-press extraction process, the oil is separated from the hips and seeds.
Full of vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids that are known to correct dark spots and hydrate dry, itchy skin, all while reducing scars and fine lines.
For facial skin care, rose hip oil offers several benefits when applied externally.
It protects the skin and increases cell turnover because it contains vitamin F, E, vitamin C, vitamin D and B-carotene, a form of vitamin A, and which are all antioxidants that help fight free radicals. Rosehip oil does contain high levels of beta-carotene (an antioxidant), all-trans retinoic acid (a vitamin A acid that retinol converts to and which has a similar effect to retinol when applied topically ) omega-3 and omega-6.
.
Rose hip oil’s healing properties are due to its chemical structure. As I noted, it’s rich in essential fatty acids, but more specifically oleic, palmitic, linoleic and gamma linolenic acid (GLA). Rosehip oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids (vitamin F), also known as an essential fatty acid (EFA), and when absorbed through the skin, these fatty acids convert to prostaglandins (PGE), which are involved in cellular membrane and tissue regeneration. Specifically, it is that regeneration that can provide anti-aging benefits. It is particularly high in vitamin c, making it one of the richest plant sources for the skin and another reason why rosehip oil is a great choice.
Ingredients:Pure organic cold pressed rose hip seed oil & pure essential oils: Neroli & Palmarosa.

This is my favourite face oil. It smells incredible and goes on super smooth. It nourishes my skin to radiance, even in the dead of winter. It’s light, but gets the job done. I think it has really improved the evenness of the tone of my skin as well. Highly recommend!

I enjoy using the Osha Mae Rose Facial toner along with the Rose Hip Seed oil, as a combination treatment, as mentioned. It is hydrating and protective, while also deeply nourishing for the layers of the epidermis. Very lucious. This oil is light weight for smooth and gentle coverage. Only a small volume is required, I find a few drops is plenty. Not too glossy, and useful for both daytime and night treatment.

Every day I look forward to the gorgeous rose scent and am so grateful for the lasting moisturizing effects I can’t get with regular moisturizer during our dry Calgary winters.
