Rosehip oil – a trend in natural beauty care
In recent years, rosehip oil has become a sensation in natural beauty care. Its use in skin and hair treatments has become increasingly popular. Rosehip oil is rich in vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids and offers a wide range of benefits. Its versatile properties make it a valuable addition to the beauty routine for people of all ages.
What makes rosehip oil so valuable?
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin A (retinol)
- Vitamin E
- Antioxidants – flavonoids and beta-carotenes
- Omega-3 (linolenic acid), omega-6 (linoleic acid) and omega-9 (oleic acid)
Does rosehip oil cause pore clogging when applied to the face?
- As rosehip oil has a low comedogenicity index of 1 on a scale of 0 to 5, it is unlikely to clog pores when applied directly to the face.
Does rosehip oil leave a greasy residue on the skin?
- Rosehip oil, often referred to as “dry oil”, is known to be quickly absorbed due to its neutral pH. However, the extent and speed of absorption may vary depending on individual skin characteristics.
What are the main benefits/properties of rosehip oil?
Rosehip oil has anti-ageing properties and effectively reduces fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes. Its rich antioxidant content and deep penetration into the skin help to balance moisture levels and contribute to a youthful complexion.
The high concentration of vitamin C in rosehip oil actively supports collagen production, which is essential for healthy skin. It's no wonder that vitamin C is known for its rejuvenating properties. Rosehip oil also contains vitamins A and E, as well as lycopene, which promote skin surface regeneration and improve elasticity. Vitamin A or retinol is particularly noteworthy, as it not only promotes the formation of collagen and elastin, but also prevents their breakdown.
- Rosehip oil contributes to even skin tone
Rosehip oil effectively combats skin blemishes and dark spots.
UV rays can damage the skin, leading to dark spots and hyperpigmentation. The antioxidants contained in rosehip oil, especially the combination of vitamins C and E, help fight free radicals – the cause of these skin blemishes. Antioxidants can also reduce the overproduction of pigments in the skin.
- Rosehip oil is effective against acne scars, wound scars, surgical scars and stretch marks
The essential fatty acids in rosehip oil can make scars fade and reduce the visibility of stretch marks by accelerating skin regeneration. When applied directly to the skin, these fatty acids act as emollients, softening the skin and increasing its moisture content.
- Rosehip oil positively impacts hair health
Healthy hair means a healthy scalp. Just as rosehip oil can regulate the processes in the facial skin (oiliness or dryness), it can contribute to a balanced scalp.
Frequent washing with conventional hair care products that contain harsh ingredients deprives the hair of the natural sebum that our body produces. In response, the body increases sebum production, which leads to clogged hair follicles and slower hair growth. Gently massaging the scalp with rosehip oil before bathing helps to dissolve these blockages, making them easier to wash out. Rosehip oil also moisturises the scalp and prevents shampoo from drying it out. It is therefore advisable to switch to sulphate-free hair care.
Rosehip oil is of great benefit to hair health due to its high antioxidant content. Oxidative stress has a negative effect on hair density, strength, growth rate and pigmentation. Antioxidants act as a protective shield, scavenging free radicals before they can attach to our cells. This means that substances rich in antioxidants, such as rosehip oil, can prevent hair loss, thinning or premature graying.
What skin type is rosehip oil suitable for?
For every skin type.
- Normal skin benefits from applying rosehip oil alone, even around the eyes, particularly in the evening.
- Dry skin can be treated by combining rosehip oil with another oil.
- Oily skin finds regulation of oiliness without pore clogging or acne thanks to rosehip oil's linolenic acid content.
- Sensitive skin appreciates rosehip oil's low irritation potential.
How to choose a high-quality rosehip oil?
When choosing rosehip oil, you should pay attention to two important factors:
- The raw material origin: opt for oil from organically grown rosehip seeds.
- Extraction process: choose oil that is extracted by cold pressing. Other processes that involve heat or chemical treatment can affect the quality of the product.
How to use rosehip oil?
- Direct application - Take a few drops of rosehip oil onto clean, dry hands, then lightly pat onto facial skin.
- Mixing with Other Products – Add several drops of rosehip oil to your preferred cream, serum, or body oil for enhanced benefits.
- In homemade creams or lotions– Rosehip oil is a versatile carrier oil that serves as an excellent base for blending with essential oils and other carrier oil.
- In hair Masks – Rosehip oil can be applied directly to the scalp and hair strands. To enhance the effect, you should warm the oil slightly before applying it, cover the hair with a shower cap and leave it on for about 30 minutes.
What should we keep in mind when using rosehip oil?
- While rosehip oil can effectively prevent acne and reduce acne scars, it's not advisable for use on active acne.
- Despite rosehip oil having a low comedogenic index, if your skin is prone to acne, it's wise to perform a patch test first. Apply rosehip oil to a small area of the skin and observe for any adverse reactions.
- Given its delicate nature, rosehip oil can easily go rancid. Therefore, it's crucial to store it properly in a dark, cool place, or in the refrigerator.
