Rosa Canina
Benefits
Natural
Pressed from organic rose hip seeds, this oil helps restore hydration to the skin. It is also soothing and leaves a smooth and light feel on the skin.
The Rosa canina plant, or dog rose, is a wild species of rose that thrives alongside country footpaths. After flowering, the plant grows small fruits of a vibrant red color that enliven winter’s leafless landscapes. Called rose hips, these fruits have a variety of uses, culinary and medicinal.
Pressed from the hairy little seeds nestling inside the fruit, the oil has a herb-like scent and contains a lot of unsaturated fatty acids. Among them, linoleic and linolenic acids are of particular interest for skincare, as they are easily absorbed and help support the skin’s protective barrier.
