Rosa Canina Seed Oil

Rosa Canina Seed Oil is extracted from the seeds of wild rose hips, primarily harvested in Chile and the Andes region, and is exceptionally rich in essential fatty acids (linoleic acid 44-49%, linolenic acid 31-37%) and natural trans-retinoic acid. This cold-pressed oil is distinguished by its high content of carotenoids and tocopherols, giving it a characteristic orange-red color and making it particularly valued for skin regeneration and scar treatment formulations. Formulators choose this oil for its documented ability to improve skin texture and reduce hyperpigmentation, though its polyunsaturated fatty acid profile requires careful formulation with antioxidants to prevent oxidative rancidity.
