Aromatherapy: Rosehip seed oil is a nutritive additive for aromatherapy skincare products, including facial massage oils. It can be used as a typical everyday treatment to assist recovery and diminish minor scars from surgery or wounds. Excellent as an additive in products formulated for dry, chapped, cracked or scaling skin or skin prone to inflammation and dehydration from sun and wind or excessive air filtering. Mixes well with shea butter, any fixed oil and is especially effective added with meadowfoam. Rosehip oil contains vitamin A to slow skin aging, assist cell regeneration and increase collagen and elastin levels for healthy youthful skin. With high levels of fatty acids (47+%) and linolenic acids (33+%), it helps speed skin regeneration and can help prevent formation of keloid scar tissue. Also contains vitamin E and essential fatty acids, important skin nutrients. Use at 2% to 25% dilution in skin formulas. Rosehip seed oil has antiseptic properties because of the high concentration of vitamin C and Tretinoin (trans-retinoic acid) that may help prevent premature aging, minimize wrinkles and reduce stretch marks.
