What It Does
Rosa Canina Fruit Oil is a precious oil cold-pressed from the seeds of wild rose hips, native to Europe, northwest Africa, and western Asia. It is exceptionally rich in essential fatty acids (linoleic acid 44-49%, linolenic acid 31-37%) and naturally occurring trans-retinoic acid, making it highly valued for skin regeneration and scar reduction. Formulators choose this oil for its documented ability to improve skin texture, reduce hyperpigmentation, and provide deep nourishment without feeling heavy, along with its natural orange-red color from high carotenoid content.
