The oil is rich in fatty acids essential for the skin, as well as vitamins A (retinol) and C, antioxidants, linoleic and linolenic acids. It helps even out skin tone, reduce age spots, and diminish pigmentation.
Rosehip oil is excellent for moisturizing dry skin and areas with dehydrated epidermis (such as elbows and heels). It is used to relieve the symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, neurodermatitis, and the effects of sunburn.
It is also effective for strengthening brittle nails and restoring damaged hair. The oil reduces the appearance of spider veins, varicose veins, and stretch marks by increasing collagen and elastin levels in the skin.
