Rosehip oil is a nutrient-rich botanical oil pressed from the seeds of the wild Rosa canina rose bush. Prized for its lightweight feel and exceptional fatty acid profile, it delivers deep nourishment while absorbing quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
Our Extra Virgin Rosehip Oil is cold pressed and minimally processed to preserve its naturally occurring nutrients, antioxidants, and beautiful light amber to reddish hue.

Naturally Rich in Essential Fatty Acids
Rosehip oil contains an ideal balance of linoleic and alpha-linolenic fatty acids, two essential lipids that help strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier. These fatty acids improve softness, support smoother skin texture, and help reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), allowing skin to remain comfortably hydrated throughout the day.
Because the oil closely complements the skin's natural lipid composition, it leaves skin feeling nourished without heaviness.
Lightweight Hydration for Every Skin Type
Despite its rich nutritional profile, rosehip oil is remarkably lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin. Its naturally non-comedogenic properties make it suitable for many skin types, including oily and blemish-prone skin, providing lasting hydration without clogging pores or leaving a greasy finish.
The result is skin that feels soft, balanced, and comfortably moisturized.
Preserving Nature's Antioxidants
Minimal processing allows rosehip oil to retain its naturally occurring Vitamin E and other beneficial antioxidants. These compounds help protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by everyday environmental exposure while supporting the skin's moisture barrier and overall resilience.
Cold pressing also preserves the oil's characteristic amber-to-reddish color, a visible sign of its natural composition and purity.

Carefully Sourced for Exceptional Quality
Quality begins at the source. Our rosehips are sustainably grown in Chile, where they are cold pressed, extra virgin, and unrefined to preserve their full nutrient profile. By avoiding excessive heat and unnecessary refining, the oil maintains its naturally occurring essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds—providing skincare in its purest form.
