Nature's Shield Organic Rosehip Oil 100ml

Rosehip oil is obtained from the seeds of the fully-ripened fruit of the wild Rosa canina bush. Rosa canina is an undomesticated member of the Rosacea family, which contains all other types of roses. It is grown widely through the temperate zone of the earth, including Asia, Africa, South America and Europe. 

Rosehip oil is rich in a cross-section of nutrients which are all highly beneficial for skin health:

• Vitamin E, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant, may help with sun damage and combat skin's natural ageing process.
• Vitamin C is protective and repairing to UV damage and the effects of ageing. It has also been shown in studies to impact hyper-pigmentation.
• Fatty acids, omega 3, 6 and 9, which are essential for regeneration of damaged skin tissue.
• Phenols have antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties, which makes it non-irritating for eczema-prone skin and can make it helpful in irritating skin issues.

Rosehip oil is most prized for its application in signs of ageing skin - wrinkles, sun damage, dryness etc. In studies, it has been shown useful for:

• Wrinkles
• Scars and burns
• Stretch marks
• Pigmentation
• Dry sensitive skin
• Sun damage
• Acne and acne scarring
