What it is
Oil from the seeds of the wild rose, high in linoleic acid and carrying a little natural vitamin A (as carotenoids). Oxidises quickly; dark bottles, used within months.
Emollients: Emollients fill the gaps between skin cells and leave the surface smooth and soft; oils, butters and esters.
In the research
6 PubMed papers mention it with skin, cosmetics or hair; the three most recent:
- Comprehensive Experimental Investigation of Rosehip (Rosa canina L.) Seed Oil as a Novel Biodiesel Feedstock: Engine Performance, Combustion, Emission, and Exergy Analyses · Global challenges (Hoboken, NJ), 2026
- Recent advances and insights into the bioactive properties and applications of Rosa canina L. and its by-products · Heliyon, 2024
- Hair Growth-Promoting Effects of Rosehip (Rosa canina L.) Seed Oil in C57BL/6 Mice · Preventive nutrition and food science, 2023
A paper is a paper, not a verdict: titles are listed so you can read them, and a study on cells or mice says little about a cream on a face.
