Rosa Canina Fruit Oil Description
fruit oil (often referred to more broadly as rose hip oil) is a non-fragrant, emollient plant oil that moisturizes skin as well as providing beneficial fatty acids that soothe and strengthen skin’s barrier.
fruit is known to be a source of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and tocopherol (vitamin E), both of which offer numerous antioxidant-related benefits to skin. Rose hip seed oil also contains antioxidants belonging to the carotenoid and flavonoid groups.
fruit oil has been deemed safe by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel. Their report looked at products containing up to 19%.
encompasses approximately 100 species found throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America.
