Why We LoveΒ Rose Hip Oil

Shutting Down The B.S.
Many people think that Rosehip Oil contains Vitamin C, but it doesn't. Rose hip oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the fruits of wild roses and is great for overall rejuvenating effects on the skin and fading scars and discoloration. So why all the confusion about vitamin C? Β Well, fresh rose hips are really rich in vitamin C. More specifically, rose hip SKINS contain tons of vitamin C, while the seeds contain very little, which is where rose hip oil comes from. Although it doesn't contain as much Vitamin C as most people think, rosehip oil does contain high levels of beta-carotene (an antioxidant), all-trans retinoic acid (a vitamin A acid that retinol converts to), omega-3 and omega-6.Β Basically, rosehip oil is greatΒ to use in skincare, but itβs not because of its "vitamin C" content!
