Rosehip Seed Oil comes from the seeds of the bright red resehip fruit of certain types of rose-Rosa aff. rubiginosa (commonly referred to as eglantine or sweetbriar rose) or Rosa moschata (also known as musk rose), both indigenous to the Southern Andes. The oil can also be extracted from the hips of Rosa canina (dog rose), which is found in parts of Europe, Northwest Africa, and Western Asia. Rosehip Seed Oil is notoriously difficult to produce and must be handled by trained professionals; the seeds inside the rosehip are attached to thin fronds that can be fatal if touched or breathed into the lungs. After seeds are carefully removed, they undergo a complex drying process before being cold pressed to extract the oil.

Seed Oil contains Vitamin A which is useful in evening out skin tone and promoting cell regeneration for a more radiant, brighter look. This oil also contains essential fatty acids, which help with cell regeneration-thereby reducing the appearance of scars-and keep skin soft and supple. Lightweight and easily absorbed (therefore often referred to as a "dry oil"), Rosehip Seed Oil is ideal for all skin types.
