Rose Hip Oil
Sourced from the seeds and fruit of the rosebush, Rosehip oil is a versatile oil.
This oil has a world of benefits derived from its potent combination of vitamin A and C, in addition to four powerful fatty acids, including gamma-linolenic acid and vitamin F.
To be clear, vitamin F is not classed as a traditional vitamin. It's two fats; alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid.
These elements make this deep orange liquid an undisputed power in enhancing the appearance of your skin by depositing many necessary bio-available components on the skin's surface.
The outcome is radiant, youthful skin.
Reverse Hyperpigmentation
Given its high vitamin C content, Rosehip oil plays an integral role in reversing sun spots and age spots.
The reason for this is that Vitamin C inhibits the production of melanin – the primary component in determining your skin tone.
However, injury, sun exposure, and stress can all trigger non-essential melanin production, which causes hyperpigmentation.
Therefore, by inhibiting melanin production, you can maintain an even skin tone – commonly associated with flawless skin.
Reduce The Appearance of Wrinkles
The potent blend of vitamin A and C are why Rosehip oil is ideal for removing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and preventing the intrusive look of aging skin.
Vitamin A and C are two primary components necessary to produce collagen and elastin, both of which are lost as you age.
Protect Against Sun Damage
Beyond using Rosehip oil with its high nutrient value to reduce hyperpigmentation and the appearance of wrinkles, it also provides some reparation from sun damage.
Sun damage is the greatest enemy of the skin. Not only does sun damage accelerate sunspots, but it also degenerates collagen and elastin through oxidation.
It is important to remember, Rosehip Oil is not sunscreen! It does not protect you from the sun, but it can help strengthen your epidermis and, therefore, help repair some damage caused by the sun.
Improve Your Skin’s Radiance
Another fantastic benefit of vitamin C is its ability to improve your natural glow.
Vitamin C brightens skin by supporting the keratinocytes in the skin. Keratinocytes are the primary cells found in our epidermis; they constitute 90% of our skin cells and are responsible for skin health. However, pathogens attack these cells, wreaking havoc on your skin and making the skin appear dull and dry.
Reduce Acne
The GLA (Gamma Linoleic Acid) in rosehip oil reduces inflammation and may help alleviate mild to moderate acne.
Since our skin is our most extensive – and most exposed – organ, it faces an onslaught of attacks from external elements, which in turn irritate the skin and exacerbate inflammation.
Acne is linked to an inflammatory response by the skin, so applying rosehip oil, either directly or as an ingredient of your skincare, can help reduce acne, with the added benefit where the high vitamin C levels can help tighten pores.
Rosehip oil can only be described as an essential ingredient considering all these benefits. If you want to smooth and brighten your skin, adding rosehip oil to your routine will do the trick. The oil is responsible for brightening the skin while it smooths and firms.
