Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Oil

Rosa Canina Fruit Oil is extracted from the seeds of wild rose hips native to Europe, northwest Africa, and western Asia. This golden-orange oil is exceptionally rich in essential fatty acids (linoleic acid 44-49%, linolenic acid 30-35%) and naturally occurring trans-retinoic acid, making it highly valued for skin regeneration and scar reduction formulations. Cold-pressed extraction preserves its high concentration of carotenoids and tocopherols, giving it superior antioxidant properties compared to many other botanical oils, though its polyunsaturated nature requires careful formulation to prevent oxidation.
