Benefits of Organic Rosehip Oil

Rosehip Oil is renowned for its healing properties. It has been used for centuries by Egyptians and other ancient civilisations to maintain a youthful look. Although the Egyptians never knew it, this is due to the high levels essential fatty acids that are found in Rosehip Oil.

Rosehip Seed Oil comes from the "hip" or "fruit" of the rose. This is the "bulb" or hip that replaces the rose flower once it has been fertilised. The oil is removed from the rosehip through a process called "cold pressing".

* Scars

This oil is then blended and prepared to produce a range of products including oils, lotions, creams, cosmetics, and other skincare products.

As Rosehip Oil is a natural product on its own does not last long, so Vitamin C is added to the oil for a longer life. Of course Vitamin C has its own fantastic benefits on the skin.

Not only is Rosehip Oil good for the skin, but it's also good for hair. Sufferers of dandruff or other scalp conditions have commented widely on how their dandruff has been eased through massaging rosehip oil in the scalp.
