Description: Rosehip oil is extremely high
in essential fatty acids and is known to help treat dry, irritated, weathered skin. It is also suitable for treating burns,
scars and stretch marks. There are some concerns that it can aggravate acne conditions (in high concentration).
Organic rose hip oil is a natural source of topical trans-retinoic
acid (a derivative of vitamin A). Unlike the synthetic form – commonly
known as Retinol – the substance found in rose hip oil is part of its
naturally occurring state and combined with the essential fatty acids,
has been proven to help repair and rebuild sun-damaged, scarred and
dehydrated skin. It is for this reason that rose hip oil makes a
wonderful beauty treatment oil proven to help treat acne and acne
scarring, very dry skin, wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin tone and
pigmentation. Rose hip oil also helps balance the skin so it is great
if your skin is prone to oiliness.
