Rosehip Oil is derived from both the fruit and seeds of the rose hip, whereas Rosehip Seed Oil is specifically extracted from the seeds alone. The latter is a cold-pressed, unrefined natural oil renowned for its light, non-greasy texture, effectively moisturizing dry or damaged skin. Research indicates that Rosehip Seed Oil is highly effective in reducing hyperpigmentation associated with scars and stretch marks, fostering the regeneration of damaged tissue, epithelizing wounds, and diminishing the appearance of age spots. It also proves beneficial in repairing skin damage caused by acne and sun exposure, enhancing skin texture, and reducing skin discoloration for a more even complexion.
As an oil-soluble ingredient, Rosehip Seed Oil can be seamlessly integrated into anhydrous products or emulsified formulations within the oil phase. Its smooth spreadability ensures a pleasant application experience without any tackiness or stickiness. While possessing a subtle nutty odor, it becomes imperceptible in the final product. Furthermore, it is a non-GMO seed product that is environmentally friendly and biodegradable.
