Where does that stuff come from?

The rosehip kernels do not come from the round rosehip, which many people remember from childhood as itch powder, but from the small, more oval rosehip.
This small rosehip is often underestimated in its versatile effect.
Pressed from the seeds of the rose hips, the small fruit seeds that remain after the flowers have faded.
Rose hip oil is obtained from the seeds of the dog rose.
The cold-pressed oil, which is also known as wild rose oil, is of the highest quality
Rose hip oil – also known as rose hip seed oil
It also operates under the somewhat misleading names of wild rose oil or rosehip oil, which can lead to confusion with the essential rose oil.
In contrast to red sea buckthorn oil (pulp oil), rosehip oil is light orange to yellow, since it is an oil extracted from the kernels.

What can this stuff do?

This skin care superhero has it all.
An excellent moisturizing oil, suitable for all skin types – including mature skin.
For many people, rose hip oil is the treatment of choice for stressed skin due to its many nutrients.
It is packed with skin-loving essential fatty acids such as linolenic acid (omega-3) and linoleic acid (omega-6).
It contains vitamins E and D and beta-carotene – antioxidants that fight free radicals and make rose hip oil the perfect oil for mature skin.
rose hip oil is very light and is considered a ‘dry’ oil; this means that it is quickly absorbed into the skin and leaves no residue.
rose hip seed oil is not comedogenic (value 1)
The oil relieves itching, revitalizes and tones the skin and also helps with scar healing.
The reputation as an anti-aging agent precedes the seed oil, even if it is not a miracle cure.
rose hip oil supports skin regeneration like no other oil and is ideal for treating dry, scaly skin, pigment spots and scars.
Transretinoleic acid has a strong healing and regenerative effect, promotes collagen production within the connective tissue and thus maintains the skin’s ability to retain moisture.
rose hip oil stimulates cell renewal and is considered an excellent and extremely well tolerated facial oil for dry, mature, but also inflammatory skin.
In combination with evening primrose oil and its gamma-linolenic acid content (approx. 9%), it results in an excellent combination for the skin types mentioned above.
Since it is not oxidatively stable, in summer it should only be incorporated in creams or serums for the night, but not in day care products.
rose hip oil can also be used as a body oil for beautiful, radiant skin.
