1. Rosehip Seed Oil - Where does it come from?
Although Rosehip Seed Oil is also known as wild rose oil, it should not be confused with rose oil. Therefore, please do not expect a captivating rose fragrance - our wonderful Rosewater offers you that. Rosehip Seed Oil is not extracted from the flowers of the shrub.
Our Rosehip Seed Oil is obtained from the seeds and pulp of the rose hips of the dog rose or Rosa Canina. We deliberately chose a supplier from Argentina because it meets our requirements for organic cultivation, fair treatment of employees and commitment to the environment.
The special process of extracting the oil using CO2 preserves the Actives better than cold pressing, which means that the dark orange-colored wild rose oil retains the full range of benefits for your skin. And that brings us to the question you are probably most interested in:
2. active ingredient bomb - What makes Rosehip Seed Oil so special?
So what can the new oil do? Quite a lot! If you take a look at the list of valuable Actives ingredients, it quickly becomes clear that we have a pretty comprehensive product here. Vitamin A, Vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids (nothing to do with carrots, I'll tell you more later), omega-3, -6 AND -9 fatty acids... all substances that our skin is only too happy to absorb. But what exactly do they do?
Vitamin A
In this case it is "A" for structure, because this vitamin is responsible for the structure and renewal of the skin, making it a true regeneration hero. And for all sun worshippers: In addition to sun cream, Rosehip Seed Oil is now one of the essentials, as the vitamin A it contains protects the skin from DNA damage when exposed to the sun.
Vitamin C
Unfortunately, there is no such nice mnemonic here, but this vitamin is just as powerful! It lightens age and pigmentation spots, prevents wrinkles and stimulates collagen production. Which, as you may know if you've been following us diligently, starts to slowly decline from the age of 25. Vitamin C gives you a beautiful glow, and not just in spring.
Vitamin E
An enormously important vitamin, as it successfully protects us from free radicals thanks to its antioxidant effect. A quick lesson: free radicals are highly reactive, aggressive molecules that cause cell damage in our organism and can cause illnesses if they occur in particularly high quantities over a long period of time. Cancer, cardiovascular diseases and arthritis are associated with this. The intake of vitamin E through food, but also through skin care, can therefore reduce the oxidative stress that triggers it.
Fatty acids
The fatty acids in rosehip seed oil are extremely beneficial for blemished skin and also dry skin , as they anti-inflammatory Treat and regulate the skin's natural sebum production so that under- or overproduction is balanced out.
Carotenoids
Well, carotenoids do have something to do with carrots. They contain a lot of them. But what exactly do they do for our body? This plant pigment can do more than just color fruit and vegetables orange. Like vitamin E, it works antioxidative and also fights unwelcome free radicals, which prevents cell damage and slows down skin ageing. Here too, the right diet and skin care can make a big difference.
So our Rosehip Seed Oil has definitely more than earned the title of active ingredient bomb. So how can you best incorporate it into your skincare routine and are there perhaps other areas of the body that could benefit from it?
3. how to - application options for your new favorite oil
Rosehip Seed Oil wouldn't be an active ingredient bomb if it couldn't be used in a variety of ways. Here's how you can use this all-rounder:
Face
Of course, you can incorporate it into your facial care routine. As the skin switches to regeneration mode overnight, the oil can provide wonderful support when applied in the evening. Either massage it into damp skin on its own with a few drops or mix a few drops with your day or night cream to make it even more nourishing.
As you have already read above, the Actives oils are particularly suitable for blemished skin and also dry skin . The combination of stimulating cell regeneration, regulating sebum production and defending against free radicals has a particularly positive effect on these skin types. However, all other skin types will also be pleased, as the oil is particularly well tolerated, which also benefits very sensitive skin. As rosehip oil is non-comedogenic, i.e. does not clog pores, it can be applied without hesitation to face . Its antibacterial effect can help pimples subside more quickly - but please use sparingly, especially for acne prone skin.
mature skin benefits in particular - I'm happy to repeat myself again because it's pretty valuable information: skin ageing starts at around 25, and with the right active ingredients and products, this natural process can be slowed down. Rosehip Seed Oil is right at the top of the list, because the mix of vitamins (we now know their effect) keeps the skin elastic, firm and radiant, thanks to the stimulated collagen production. Discoloration is reduced and cell damage caused by free radicals is prevented. The result: younger-looking skin for longer. And the glow doesn't come from anywhere. Rosehip Seed Oil is also quite a moisture booster.
Body
Thanks to its regenerative properties, the oil is particularly suitable for treating scars, stretch marks and other skin damage. Apply a few drops to the moistened skin area and gently leave-on, even a little longer, as it helps to heal the scars or stretch marks.
If your skin is a little irritated after sunbathing, spray our light and cooling Aloe Vera Spray onto the skin and then carefully apply a little wild rose oil to counteract sun damage.
Personal tip: For a more extensive application on the buttocks or thighs, you can mix Rosehip Seed Oil with our Squalane , as it is extremely rich and, as a carrier oil, it transports the Actives of the rosehip seed oil wonderfully into the skin.
Nails
Rosehip Seed Oil is also very suitable for cuticle care, especially if they are particularly stressed by frequent cleaning, rinsing and other activities. Our hands generally do an incredible amount of work every day. Treat your skin to an extra dose of care from time to time and massage your hands and cuticles with a mixture of Rosehip Seed Oil and either Hand Cream or Squalane. Leave on well, perhaps even overnight with cotton gloves, so that the skin can absorb the Actives well.
Hair
You can make a wonderful scalp treatment with a tablespoon of warmed rosehip seed oil. For dry, itchy and flaky scalps, it helps to spread the pleasantly warm (not hot) oil on the scalp, massage in gently and rinse thoroughly after 30 minutes with a mild shampoo . Important for dry and flaky scalps: Use mild care products, avoid surfactants and only use lukewarm water to allow the skin to soothe and regenerate. The lengths and ends of your hair will also benefit from a nice hair treatment with Rosehip Seed Oil. If you like, use it as a leave-in product in your ends. For curly, thick hair (welcome to the club), I recommend mixing it with some aloe vera gel .
