Rosehip Oil, Bulgarian, 1oz, Live Live & Organic

Rosehip Oil is highly absorbable and hydrating.

Rosehip Oil is considered a “dry” oil, meaning that it soaks into the skin easily and does not leave a greasy residue.

The oil contains provitamin A (mostly beta-Carotene). It has been wrongly said to contain retinol (vitamin A) which is a vitamin solely made by animals from provitamin A. It does however contain levels (up to .357 ml/L) of tretinoin or all-trans retinoic acid, a vitamin A acid that retinol converts to.

Similarly, while the fruit is rich in vitamin C, the oil does not contain any, as it is a water-soluble vitamin.

Rose hip seed oil is high in the essential fatty acids: linoleic acid or omega-6, and linolenic acid or omega-3.
