Rosehip Herbal Oil is a fairly new oil to be used as a carrier oil, it is produced in Chile, and has gained great popularity because it has some great rejuvenating properties. Usually, the oil is extracted by a solvent from the wild rose bush seeds growing in the southern Andes. It has very high levels of linoleic and linolenic fatty acids. The aroma is mild and perhaps earthy. It has been identified that the presence of Trans-Retinoic acid is the component responsible for the remarkable pharmacological properties of Rose Hip oil. Trans- Retinoic acid is a derivative of Retinol (Vitamin A) and is marked as Tretinoin. It is high in GLA, and has recently been used to help reduce the signs of ageing, especially the fine lines around the eyes and lines around the mouth, the drying effects of the sun and climate, as well as assisting with attenuating both accidental and surgical scars, healing burns, and stretch marks. |
