• Of which unsaturated fatty acids: linoleic acid (omega-6, 40–50% of fatty acids), alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3, 25–35% of fatty acids), oleic acid (omega-9, 10–25% of fatty acids)

Phytosterols (approximately 0.5%)

ITS ACTIVE MOLECULES

Rosehip vegetable oil is rich in: 

• Linoleic acid

• Alpha-linolenic acid

These are two essential fatty acids involved in skin lipid metabolism, particularly in the synthesis of ceramides. They strengthen the skin barrier, promote skin regeneration, and soothe the skin. These two unsaturated fatty acids give rosehip oil its exceptional regenerative properties.

A study* has highlighted the exceptional regenerative properties of rosehip seed oil. Applying rosehip seed oil twice a day resulted in a significant improvement in the appearance of scars, notably a reduction in redness and atrophy.

A Note from Adeline Nalin, Head Pharmacist and Toxicologist at Aroma-Zone

“Organic Chilean Rosehip Vegetable Oil (INCI: Rosa Moschata Seed Oil) is well-tolerated by the skin under normal cosmetic use. Its composition, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid) and bioactive compounds, promotes skin regeneration. No sensitizing or irritating effects have been reported in the literature for external use.

However, due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids, it may be slightly comedogenic on acne-prone skin. It is recommended to perform a patch test before applying to a large area, particularly in individuals with sensitive or reactive skin.”

A Note from Our Aroma-Zone Toxicologist

“This oil is considered safe for human health when used in accordance with its intended external cosmetic use. It does not pose a significant systemic risk when applied to the skin. However, its high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids makes it susceptible to oxidation: proper storage (in an airtight bottle, away from light and heat) is essential to prevent the formation of oxidation byproducts that could cause skin irritation.”

A Note from the Phytotherapist

“It is one of the most precious plant oils. Its deep orange color is a testament to its antioxidant properties; I first used it during pregnancy to protect my belly from stretch marks. And it really worked. Known for reducing all types of skin marks—fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks—it also helps minimize dark spots. A wonderful all-rounder with a delicate scent that isn’t always appreciated at first but is quickly embraced.

Be careful with light-colored clothing after applying it, as it can stain! It is slightly comedogenic, so for anti-aging use on the face, combine it with hazelnut or jojoba oil to minimize this drawback.”
