Key points from the full guide
- Rosehip seed oil is pressed from the seeds of wild rose hips, mostly grown in Chile.
- It is rich in linoleic and alpha linolenic acids plus natural carotenoids, which give it its amber color.
- Rose hip fruit is high in vitamin C, but the oil itself contains very little, since vitamin C does not dissolve in oil.
- Small studies on scar appearance are encouraging, but rosehip is a gentle cosmetic oil, not a replacement for medical treatment.
- It oxidizes quickly, so buy small bottles, keep them cool and dark, and use them within months.
