Rose Hip Oil

The beloved Rose Hip Oil is extracted from the fruit of wild rose bushes, and the fruit is called Rose Hips. Although there are several different varieties of wild rose bushes, it is often said that the best kind of hips come from the varieties Rosa rugosa, Rosa ponifera, Rosa canina, Rosa eglantaria and Rosa californica, but the bush that produces the amazing beneficial oil is called the Rosa Affinis Rubiginosa and grows at the lower lying areas of the Andes in Chile. The oil is a clear golden color and does not smell of roses. If you have found rose hip oil that smells of roses, artificial fragrance has been added. It has a natural, earthy smell which is sometimes a bit strong. It should never smell bad, though and if it does it may have gone rancid.

This beneficial oil is high in essential fatty acids and therefore, is amazing for many different skin uses. For skin that has been burned, this oil is very healing and soothing and also helps with irritation from eczema, sunburn, rash, insect bites and other annoying conditions. This oil reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as other signs of premature aging. It helps to repair the damage and drying effects that the sun has on the skin, including around the eyes and mouth which are most vulnerable. This oil is a wonderful moisturizer for dry and sensitive skin, allergic and sun damaged skin. This is one of the greatest oils you can use to help reduce the appearance of scars on the skin, as well as stretch marks.
