Rosehip
Rosa canina | Skin-Regenerating Powerhouse for Radiance & Repair
What Is Rosehip?
Derived from the seeds of wild rose bushes, rosehip oil is a nutrient-dense elixir packed with vitamins A (retinoids), C, and E, essential fatty acids (omega-3, 6, 9), and antioxidants. Celebrated for reversing sun damage, fading scars, and restoring moisture, it’s a multitasking marvel for skin and hair.

✨ Eczema & Rosacea Relief: Calms inflammation and soothes redness with anti-inflammatory polyphenols.
✨ Hair Revitalizer: Nourishes dry scalps, strengthens strands, and adds shine without greasiness.
