Provides natural anti-aging properties

Rosehip oil is brimming in potent antioxidants including Vitamins A, C and E, all of which work together to provide powerful anti-aging benefits for the skin.

Vitamin A helps to strengthen the skin’s barrier (essential for healthy skin) while helping to lock moisture into the pores. Vitamin C adds a beautiful brightening boost that rivals the best highlighter out there, and helps to fight inflammation and free radicals for skin that appears visibly smoother with a more even tone.

Vitamin E helps to neutralize free radicals and along with fatty acids, helps with tissue regeneration, vital for fighting the signs of aging.

Helps to fade acne scars

If you have troubled, problematic skin and have written oils off as “too greasy” or believe that rosehip oil is best for more mature skin types then you would be very wrong!

Rosehip oil, with its rich concentration of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant superstars, is a dream come true for all skin types, including skin that tends to break out or a complexion full of acne scars.

Essential fatty acids are natural emollients that help to repair the skin and improve elasticity. This process makes rosehip oil incredibly powerful for fading scars and may even help to reduce the intensity of acne breakouts, and other inflammatory conditions such as eczema.

Reduces signs of sun damage

It’s no secret that UV rays are not exactly your skin’s best friend…

Overexposure to harmful UV rays can result in skin damage, but Rosehip Oil’s incredible array of potent antioxidants can sort that right out!

Vitamin C takes center stage here, as it helps to promote the formation of collagen, a structural protein that UV rays break down, contributing to sagging. Vitamin C is also a key player in brightening the skin and helping to reduce the appearance of pigmentation, a top UV skin complaint!
