Rose Hip
What is Rose Hip
Botanical Name: Rosa Affinis Rubiginosa as well as R. canina and R. laevigata
Rose hips are the seed pod left after the rose petals fall off. Rose hip seed oil has beneficial skin rejuvenating and skin pigment lightening properties that are largely attributed to the essential high unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic, linoleic, and linolenic. Our bodies are not able to reproduce these kinds of fatty acids. Rosehip seed oil is also high in vitamin A and retinoic acid, which is similar to Retin-A. Unlike Retin-A Rose hip does not cause negative side effects. Retinoic acid was first used for the treatment of acne. Now Rose Hip is used more for sun damaged skin with some excellent results. Retinoic acid helps with the reduction of fine wrinkles and improves pigmentation as well as your complexion and skin texture.
Rose hip contains:
Vitamins C, E, and K, calcium, citric acid, iron, niacin, phosphorus, tannin, vitamin A, B1, B2, and P, oleic, linoleic and linolenic essential fatty acids, bioflavonoids.
