Info:
Rosa species, Rose hips, are widespread wild plants traditionally used as medicinal compounds to treat various diseases. The therapeutic potential of these plants is based on the antioxidant effects caused by or associated with their phytochemical composition, which includes ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds, and healthy fatty acids, among others. (Inés Mármol, 2017 )
Over the last few years, medicinal interest in rose hips has increased because of recent research that has studied its potential application as a treatment for several diseases and skin disorders. In this review, the role of different Rosa species in the prevention and treatment of various disorders related to oxidative stress is examined, focusing on new therapeutic approaches from a molecular point of view.

Geeky Research Findings :
Rosehip Oil for Face: Excellent for Anti-ageing. The longevity of cell membranes is essential to avoid changes related to ageing. Genetics, Nutrition, & the Environment are responsible for ageing and exposure to UV radiation causes photoaging of the skin. Photoaging damages collagen, elastin, and the skin’s moisture barrier, leading to wrinkles, sagging, toughening, and dry skin texture.
A study found that the tretinoin content of rosehip seed oil greatly depends on the extraction method. Cold-pressed Rosehip Oil contains seven times more miracle activity. Trans-retinoic acid, (J. Concha, 2006), aka Tretinoin, one of the other forms of retinoids, has proven its standard in anti-ageing technology. Retinoids refer to a group of compounds derived from Vitamin A. It includes beta-carotene, retinol (pure vitamin A itself) & tretinoin. It is the main bioactive component as it works on the skin at a cellular level, including restoring and regenerating tissues, decreasing wrinkles, helping acne and even normalising pore size. (Daniel Franco, 2007)
It inhibits collagen-destroying enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs, which are increased by UVB), & it's also proven to boost the skin’s collagen synthesis. It also stimulates NMF glycosaminoglycans or the skin protein filaggrin. Normalises keratinisation and minimises pore sizes to produce less sebum (Rong Kong PhD, 2015).
Rosehip Oil for Skin: Rosehip Oil is an Excellent Moisturizer. It's a nice emollient, moisturising plant oil loaded with substantial Unsaturated fatty acids. The most abundant fatty acid is linoleic acid (35.9–54.8%), followed by α-linolenic acid (16.6–26.5%) and oleic acid (14.7–22.1%). (Ilyasoğlu, 2014). Many lipophilic antioxidants are present, especially tocopherols and carotenoids. It contains a high level of phenolic acids, especially p-coumaric acid methyl ester, vanillin, and vanillic acid. Due to its high composition of UFAs and antioxidants, this oil has relatively high protection against inflammation and oxidative stress. (Cosima Chrubasik, 2008) In the medical field, rosehip Oil also has been used for decades to treat wounds, scars, stretch marks & uneven skin tone.
Healing is a natural and dynamic process in which the body regenerates tissues after injury. This process develops along three phases: inflammation, granulation tissue formation & maturation/remodelling. (Wayne K Stadelmann, 1998). In the remodelling phase, tissue enzymes remove excess extracellular matrix & collagen; the remaining fibrils are realigned along the tension lines. This remodelling process occurs in 6 - 12 months but may persist for years after the initial injury. (Gerd G. Gauglitz, 2010)
High polyunsaturated fatty acid content, fewer other saturated fatty acids, and small amounts of other dermatological active interest like trans-retinoic acid or natural tretinoin, which play a vital role in the permeability of cell membranes and injury repair mechanisms. (Özcan, 2004), (Joyce Silva dos Santos, 2009 )
Cold Pressed Oil: This means pressing the oil grains with force and extracting oil. It’s processed at a lower temperature and does not alter the properties of the oil. Rosehip fruit comprises seed and pericarp with contributions from 30% to 35% & 65% to 70%, respectively. An appreciable amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), acyl lipids, & other bioactive such as bioflavonoids, tannins, pectin, sugars, carotenoids, tocopherols & phenolics have been identified in rosehip. (RahmanQadirFarooqAnwar, 2020.)
The physicochemical properties of oil from Rosa affinis rubiginosa seeds were analysed after extraction by 1. organic solvent, 2. cold pressing, and 3. cold pressing assisted by enzymatic pre-treatment. There were no significant differences in oil quality parameters when applying the three extraction processes. However, significant variations were observed in the FFA content (acid value) and PV of the oil obtained by the cold-pressing oil extraction processes. (J. Concha C. S., 2006) Although different procedures can be employed for oil extraction from rosehip seeds, cold pressing is usually preferred as it offers better nutritive/nutraceutical quality oil. Rosehip seed oil is characterised by appreciable linoleic acid and oleic acid levels. (RahmanQadirFarooqAnwar, 2020.) All-trans-retinoic acid content improved by 700% in rosehip oil obtained through cold pressing, with and without enzymatic pre-treatment, compared with organic solvent extraction. (J. Concha C. S., 2006)
This result is quite important for cosmetic oil because all-trans-retinoic acid is the main bioactive component responsible for the regenerative properties of this oil. (J. Concha C. S., 2006)
Uses Of Rosehip Oil: Rosehip is frequently used in different traditional medicines. It has long been used to treat various medical problems.
The Expert Panel for Cosmetic Ingredient Safety (Panel) reviewed 12 Rosa canina-derived ingredients that function as skin conditioning agents, fragrance ingredients, cosmetic astringents, anti-acne agents, abrasives, humectants, and exfoliants in cosmetic products. (Wilbur Johnson, 2022)
Rosehip Oil is an excellent oil for mature skin. It is effective on scars, wounds, burns (including sunburn), eczema & ageing.
Aromatherapy is an excellent topical method to utilise the beneficial properties of using Rosehip Oil as a Carrier oil.
How to Use:
There’s no recommended dose for Rosehip Oil. Follow all directions on the product label or ask the Doctor for a dosage.
Precaution:
When using rosehip oil, watch for signs of allergic reactions like skin irritation or rash. If there is no sign of irritation or rash, it should be safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does rosehip oil take to fade scars?
According to Scientific Research references, the improvement of the scar was observed subjectively, especially at the level of erythema, with significant differences at 6 and 12 weeks, and discoloration and atrophy, with significant differences at 12 weeks.
How much is vitamin C in rosehip oil?
Several scientific studies have shown that wild rose fruit contains many antioxidant compounds - phenolic acids, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and carotenoids. It belongs to the fruits with the highest ascorbic acid content (up to 6 times more than in oranges). The fruit consists of three different parts: skin, seeds and pappi. The extracts were analysed for determination of vitamin C content. It was found that the main amount of vitamin C is in the skin. The seeds contain a significant amount of oil, which can be extracted and used for medical and cosmetic applications. Pappi can be considered a waste product from hip processing with a high energy value, which can be used to produce alternative solid fuel. (Silviya Georgieva, 2014)
Which rosehip oil is best for the face?
The seeds contain linoleic and oleic acids with significant levels of trans-retinoic, which have regenerative properties to assist skin regeneration following scarring.
Which rosehip oil is best?
Although different procedures can be employed for oil extraction from rosehip seeds, cold pressing is usually preferred as it offers better nutritive/nutraceutical quality oil. Rosehip seed oil is characterised by appreciable linoleic acid and oleic acid levels. All-trans-retinoic acid content improved by 700% in rosehip oil obtained through cold pressing, with and without enzymatic pre-treatment, compared with organic solvent extraction.
Where to store rosehip oil?
It should be stored in a dark, cool place to maintain its beneficial effects. Also, it can refrigerate.

Why is rosehip oil good?
Rosehip Oil is extracted from the seeds of rose hip (Rosa canina L). It contains substantial Unsaturated fatty acids. The most abundant fatty acid is linoleic acid (35.9–54.8%), followed by α-linolenic acid (16.6–26.5%) and oleic acid (14.7–22.1%). Many lipophilic antioxidants are present, especially tocopherols and carotenoids. High levels of phenolic acids, especially p-coumaric acid methyl ester, vanillin and vanillic acid, are also found in Rosehip Oil. Due to its high composition of UFAs and antioxidants, this oil has relatively high protection against inflammation and oxidative stress. In the medical field, rosehip Oil also has been used for decades to treat wounds and scars. The beneficial effect of this oil has been attributed to its high content of essential fatty and unsaturated acids, which play a vital role in the permeability of cell membranes and injury repair mechanisms.
How much tretinoin is in rosehip oil?
The Rosehip Oil comes from cold pressing and contains seven times more tretinoin (0.357 ml/l) than the oil from organic solvent extraction.
