The chemical composition of cold pressed rosehip seed oil is unique. It contains 0-90% unsaturated fatty acids (including alpha-linolenic acid), vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), high antioxidant content in the form of vitamin A (beta-carotene, retinoic acid, lycopene, rubixanthin, zeaxanthin), flavonoids (isocentrin, anthocyanosides), polyphenols (catechins EC, GC), minerals – magnesium, potassium. Natural epidermal lipids are damaged by sunlight and free radicals, which impoverishes the skin’s natural protective barrier. Applied to the skin, EFAs (essential fatty acids) as found in rosehip seed oil, restore its physiological protective properties and cause regeneration of epidermal barriers damaged by environmental factors.
Rosa Canina oil obtained from dried rosehip seeds improves the condition of the connective tissue of the dermis, and thus the skin becomes firmer, more elastic and the number of wrinkles is reduced. A unique and rich combination of active substances contained in rosehip oil makes it a great ingredient in cosmetics with rejuvenating, anti-inflammatory and regenerating properties for ageing and sun-damaged skin.
