Rose Hips, Why is it so good for you?

Rose Hips is the fruit of a rose. The rose plant can grow up to ten feet tall and bears a white fragrant flower. The hip of the flower is picked just after the petals have fallen off. You can find wild rose hips in South Africa and Chile.

Rose hips are widely used in skincare formulations because of their naturally occurring vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. Extracts and oils derived from rose hips are valued for helping support hydrated, smooth looking skin and improving overall skin appearance.

The key benefits include:

• Natural source of Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps calm and hydrate dry and sensitive skin while supporting the skin’s natural barrier.

• Natural source of essential fatty acids omega 3, 6 and 9 which help support skin hydration and contribute to smoother, more supple looking skin.

• Natural source of Vitamin C, a brightening antioxidant that helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and promotes a more radiant looking complexion.

• Natural source of powerful antioxidants including lycopene and beta-carotene, which help support the skin when exposed to environmental stressors associated with visible signs of aging.

Because of its unique nutrient profile, rose hip oil has become a popular ingredient in modern skincare formulations. It is commonly included in moisturizers, facial oils, and serums designed to help support smooth, balanced, and healthy looking skin.

As you have read, the benefits of rose hips go beyond hydration, which is why it remains a valued ingredient in many skincare formulations. Its naturally occurring vitamins and antioxidants make it a versatile botanical used to support healthy looking skin.
