How it’s usedLight, sinks in fast
Rosehip oil (rosehip seed oil) is pressed from the seeds of rose hips. It feels light and dry, absorbs quickly and has a low comedogenicity, which is why it is popular for mature, normal and combination skin.
It is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, so it is sensitive and does not keep forever.

- Keep it fresh: store cool and dark, ideally the fridge, and use up within a few months.
- Patch test before first use.
Said honestly
Rosehip oil is a pleasant, light care oil with a good reputation for mature skin, but the anti-aging promises go beyond what it can deliver. It is care, not a treatment, and we make no health promises. Because it is sensitive, buy small and store it well. We give you the facts, the decision stays with you.
