Rosehip Seed Oil (Organic)

This organic, cold pressed oil is made fresh from the seeds of the wild rose, rosa canina, that grows in Chile. Rosehip oil is a concentrated solution of linoleic (41%) and linolenic acid (39%), two essential fatty acids that are found in the structural lipids of the cell but humans cannot make them. It also contains tocopherols and carotenoids which are responsible for the lovely pink/orange color of the oil. Rosehip seed oil is great for adding moisture to any formula or directly to the skin and is a favorite for pregnant women to avoid stretch marks. This oil does not smell of roses, it is a fixed oil not an essential oil.
