Description
Rosehip oil is most prized for its application to signs of ageing skin - wrinkles, sun damage, dryness etc. In studies, it has been shown useful for wrinkles, scars and burns, stretch marks, pigmentation, dry sensitive skin, sun damage, acne and acne scarring.
Features
Rosehip oil is rich in a cross-section of nutrients which are all highly beneficial for skin health:
- Vitamin E - is anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant, helps with sun damage and combats skin's natural ageing process.
- Vitamin C - is protective and repairing to UV damage and the effect of ageing. It has also been shown in studies to impact hyper-pigmentation.
- Fatty acids, omega 3,6 and 9 - which are essential for regeneration of damaged skin tissue.
- Phenols have antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties, which makes it non-irritating for eczema-prone skin and can make it helpful in irritating-type skin issues.
