Rosehip
Rosa canina · RosaceaeIn one paragraph
Rosehip seed oil is cold-pressed from the seeds inside the hip of the dog rose. It is high in linoleic and linolenic acids and carries carotenoids that give it a distinct orange cast. It is one of the more delicate oils and does not keep as long as heavier ones.
How Nurtur Health uses it
Rosehip oil is used in the face serum range, where its reputation for mature and sun-exposed skin sits alongside the rose infusions.
