Rosehip Oil ( Rosa Mosqueta Seed Oil)

Rosehip seed oil, usually cold-pressed, is a carrier oil extracted from the seeds of wild rose bushes. The fruit sits beneath the roses and buds out after the petals die and fall away. It is a reddish, spherical-shaped fruit and has a tart and tangy flavor.

The benefits of both rosehip as the fruit and as a cold-pressed oil are numerous. Along with being a wildly popular skincare oil, it also has several medicinal and therapeutic uses.

It is rich in vitamins and antioxidants and aids in the anti-inflammation of skin, and evens out skin tone as well. These properties have garnered rosehip seed oil a lot of interest from models and celebrities, and it is quickly becoming a staple in skincare.

History of Rosehip and Its Oil

Rosehip fruit is usually found on rose bushes, although wild rose bushes are particularly adept in producing this fruit. The Rosa rubiginosa and Rosa canina are the plants commonly used for rosehip seed oil extraction. These plants are commonly found in European and South African regions.

The rosehip fruit is very rich in ascorbic acid, more so than citrus fruits. That is why it was used as a replacement for citruses during World War II.

Earlier, Native Americans and Chinese often used rosehip to alleviate stomach pain and indigestion, cramps and stiffness, nausea and infection, common cold, and more. It was also used to prepare herbal teas for their medicinal and therapeutic properties.

Though rosehip and its oil come from rose bushes, they do not smell like roses at all. They lack any floral aroma and preserve an earthy and musky scent.

Composition of Rosehip Oil

Rosehip is rich in Vitamin C and Beta Carotene, but in the process of cold pressing to attain the oil, a lot of the vitamin c can be lost.

It is also a water-soluble vitamin, so one cannot be entirely sure how much of it is retained in the oil.

It has an abundance of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids and omega 3 and 6, both of which can be very stimulating to your hair. The linoleic acid form omega 6 also helps towards keeping your skin hydrated and firm.

Aside from these, it also contains oleic acid, palmitic acid, phytosterols, anthocyanin, and Vitamin K.

Uses and Benefits of Rosehip Oil

Rosehip Oil For Face

Rosehip oil benefits are diverse. They are useful not only for your skin but also for your hair and nails. It is exemplary massage oil as it penetrates deep into the skin and locks moisture to prevent dryness.

It helps reduce sun damage and acne scars as it contains high amounts of Vitamin A, B, and K.

It locks in moisture and prevents overproduction of sebum, and helps you maintain acne-free skin.

Since it is a light carrier oil, it does not leave you with a sticky or heavy feeling after application and swiftly gets absorbed in the skin.

With its anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties, it reduces under-eye swellings, inflammation, redness, and puffiness. It also decreases fine lines and wrinkles.

Vitamin A stimulates collagen production, and rosehip oil builds on that to increase the elasticity of your skin, too.

Because of its multipurpose and useful benefits, it is often even gold as the liquid gold or the golden elixir.

Rosehip Oil For Hair

As it is a carrier oil, rosehip seed oil can be combined with other effective oils like coconut, jojoba, castor, tea tree, lavender, and more to stimulate hair growth.

Massaging the scalp with rosehip seed oil also improves blood circulation and strengthens your hair. The fatty acids in the oil keep your scalp moisturized and prevents the flaky drying of it and resulting in dandruff or itching.

Adding vitamin E with rosehip oil and applying it to your hair can be a very effective method of deep conditioning. It helps with controlling hair frizz and smoothes out your strands as well.

Rosehip Oil For Nails

Rosehip oil can do wonders for your damaged nails. The nail polish and other products often leave the skin around the cushions and the nail bed dry and irritated. It results in flaky hangnails that can, at times, be quite painful.

Applying rosehip seed oil to the area around your nail and onto your nail as well can help moisture them and prevent damage.

Rosehip Oil For Body

Rosehip oil can do wonders as a massage oil. In clinical trials, it even proved to be effective in reducing symptoms of osteoarthritis. It also helps with the stiffness in joints and reduced inflammation. The scent is also known to reduce stress and provide a relaxing and soothing effect.

The collagen stimulants in rosehip oil help in firming aging skin and provides you with elasticity as well. It also helps reduce various scars and pigmentation.

It can also be used as a gentle exfoliator when combined with baking soda, although one has to be careful to test it out before applying it on sensitive areas.

Final Thoughts

Rosehip seed oil is a huge build-up of anecdotal evidence online, and even celebrities swear by it.

The rosehip oil of The Ordinary is also a favorite customer pick and easily affordable.
