Rosehip Oil

Rosehip Oil is one of the best oils you can use for your skin. Before we list out the many benefits of Rosehip Oil, let’s take a look at where is comes from. What is a Rosehip? In the case of Russell Organics, our Rosehip Oil comes from the Rosa Mosqueta variety of Rose. After the rose has flowered and the petals fall off, the plant will create what is known as a Rosehip which contains seeds. The Rose Hip is harvested and the hip and the seeds are cold-pressed. The runoff is Rosehip Oil. Cold-pressed is best as it contains all of the original nutrients. Just like any other product, there are a number of quality levels for this Oil. The best Rosehip Oil, such as the one we sell, are sourced directly from the producer rather than coming from a mixed batch of different supplies as is commonly the case with lower grades of Oil. Our Rosehip Oil has a deep orange-reddish coloration. The scent can best be described as herbal with a faint hint of floral. The oil absorbs rapidly without leaving any oily residue. Rosehip Oil has some very beneficial qualities for skin care use. The oil is full of vitamins, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants.
