These are components, which tend to work slower than pharmaceutical-grade medications. However, they are efficient and leave behind no side-effects. One of these gifts of nature is  rosehip oil. Manufacturers of cosmetics have been using rosehip oil in the products they sell for years, and many celebrities have kept rosehip oil as their skincare secret.

The product has plenty of natural antioxidants and essential fatty acids that will help an individual retain a healthy appearance and complexion. Let's take a deeper look at how this wonder of nature can help you.

Using rosehip oil in its purest form will bring better, quicker, and longer lasting results.  

UNDERSTANDING ROSEHIP OIL

Rosehip oil is one of the world’s most effective regenerative substances for the skin. It contains an unusual combination of fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins that are clinically proven to reduce scarring, improve visible signs of aging, and heal sun damaged and burned skin. It is an ideal ingredient for maintaining youthful, hydrated, healthy skin. 

The rose hip is the fruit of the rose, a perennial flower shrub within the Rosaceae family.  After the petals have fallen off the flower, the top part of the stem called the receptacle, swells into a red bulb packed with seeds. When it is ripe, it is referred to as the rosehip. 

The natural oil which comes from these seeds is native to Chile and has been used for centuries because of its skin healing properties. This rosebush grew wild in the Southern Andes and was kept a secret up until the 80's when scientists first started discovering its many skincare benefits. 

Rosehip seed oil is truly a fantastic product. It is light amber in color, and it is considered a ‘dry’ oil – meaning, that it soaks into the skin easily and does not leave behind a greasy residue. This unique oil contains essential fatty acids and has carried much respect among professional journals and organizations as being a great emollient for dry or mature skin. 

Rosehip oil effectively treats a wide variety of skin issues including combating dry and flaking skin. It is commonly used to fight eczema and can be found in many moisturizing products promising to return skin’s youthful glow. Some consumers report a reduction in the noticeability of wrinkles, crow’s feet, and fine lines with continued and regular use. 

The oil is quickly absorbed into the dry tissue to help restore moisture balance and combat dryness. As a natural moisturizer, rosehip oil can be especially useful on sensitive and irritation-prone skin. Because it is all-natural and toxin-free, it has few indications of irritation and allergic sensitivity. Rosehip is gentle enough that it can be applied directly to the skin even in concentrated forms. 

THE BENEFITS OF ROSEHIP OIL FOR HEALTH AND SKIN CARE

The beauty of roses is undeniable yet the powerhouse of their health benefits is often overlooked. Roses’ beautiful petals and pleasant aroma draw us to admire them, but underneath all the beauty is where the flower’s actual power lies. Beneath the bloom and behind the fragrance there is the fruit of the rose – the rosehip. Rosehips are reddish and berry-shaped and contain a host of useful components. 

The Medicinal Uses of Rosehip 

Rosehips are a naturally high source of Vitamin C, bioflavonoid substances and essential fatty acids. The oil which is made from a cold extraction process is an important tool in medical and spa treatments alike. In the medical field, the oil may help people with osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis. This is because of rosehips high contents of antioxidants, omega-3, and fatty acids. 

At the University of Copenhagen, a study found that powdered rosehips were three times better at reducing the pain of osteoarthritis than some painkillers. They may also help to prevent kidney stones, and recent reports indicate possible cancer-preventing properties. Some rosehip preparations treat bladder and kidney problems, upset stomach, and high cholesterol. 

Rosehip Oil as a Skin Care Product

Beyond medicine, rosehip contains cosmetic powers which are useful to those who are interested in natural skin care and hair care products. The natural oil of the rose fruit contains substantial levels of Vitamin A and other skin friendly compounds. It helps heal scarring, and is often recommended as a natural moisturizer. It reduces the appearance of sun damage, discoloration, and when massaged into the face daily, has even shown to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The oil’s anti aging characteristics stem from its richness in vitamin C, A, Omega 3, six fatty acids, and retinoic acid. This non-greasy oil is a preferred skin treatment for some celebrities. 

The essential fatty acids found in Rosehip oil aid in the regeneration of skin cells and the repair of damaged skin tissue. It delays the signs of premature aging and provides excellent results in the treatment of scars, burns, dry and flaking skin, eczema, and other skin blemishes. The antioxidants found in rosehip oil are effective in reducing post-acne surgical scarring. 

These properties make rosehip oil an ideal ingredient to have in natural skin care products and is recommended for use in anti-aging facial creams, sun care products, body lotions, and in hair products for dry and damaged hair. 

Properties Of Rosehip Oil 

Rose hip contains 80% essential fatty acids, predominantly linoleic (Omega 3) and linolenic (Omega 6), and is naturally enriched with antioxidants beta-carotene and lycopene. This oil is the only vegetable source of omega-3. 

It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals such as vitamins A, C, and E, flavonoids, and other biologically active compounds. The high content of these essential nutrients nourishes and repairs damaged skin.

Because rosehip is so rich in vitamin E, this allows the carrier oil to be used as a deep moisturizer and as a treatment of burns, scars, and wrinkles. Rosehips also contain tannins (astringents) which aid its effectiveness in the treatment of large skin pores.  

Vitamin A delays the effects of age on cells and promotes cell regeneration. It makes skin more elastic – decreasing wrinkles and giving a smoother and firmer look and feel. Skin looks younger because the cells are being replaced faster! 

Surgical and non-surgical scarring is reduced with the use of rosehip oil. Stretch marks fade away and leave behind smoothe new skin, and elasticity that was lost with severe injuries is regained through daily use. These phenomenal benefits can be attributed to the anti inflammatory properties of rosehip seed oil. 

Additionally, rosehip seed oil is a natural source of retinoic acid. Retin-A, renova, and tretinoin are all pharmaceutical preparations containing a synthetic source of retinoic acid which is being sold to treat wrinkles, the signs of premature aging and photo-aged skin. 

Rosehip seed oil has an extremely fine consistency, which means that it has no additives and harmful chemicals. It is immediately absorbed by the skin and does not leave any greasy residue behind. As it is quickly absorbed by the skin, a little goes a long way, so one would need to only use miniscule amount each day. 

When used normally, skin becomes visibly smoother, firmer, healthier and younger. This oil reduces wrinkles, helps reduce pore size and heals and improves the texture of sun damaged skin. This carrier oil also blends well with other essential oils for aromatic uses. 

Overall, it is possibly the most useful natural beauty product. In addition to rejuvenating and preserving youthful skin, rosehip seed oil is helpful in treating dry and brittle nails, and damaged hair. Hair dye and permanent wave solutions destroy hair’s natural shine and softness. Adding a few drops of rosehip seed oil into your daily shampoo and conditioner will help treat this damage.

As people are increasingly concerned about toxic chemicals in their beauty products, and there are more and more individuals who are looking for products that come entirely or mostly from natural sources. Thankfully, there is an enormous natural beauty market that can meet this demand.

As a non-greasy oil, it still can lock in shine, which can successfully improve the appearance of broken locks. It can be mixed into another hair product, or can be applied in a slight amount directly to the hair after washing. It is also exceptionally good at adding shine to colored hair. Although hair that has recently had a color treatment can seem dull and dry, rosehip seed oil can work to counter that. 

In addition to adding shine, rosehip oil is also very effective at conditioning and moisturizing the hair. It is best to apply it to damp hair to lock in the moisture that remains in hair after washing.
