Rosehip oil to reduce the signs of skin aging
Is your skin sagging and small spots appear on your face? This is a sign that your skin is becoming mature and requires anti-aging care.

You can also combine it with cistus essential oil, this will help you effectively fight against skin spots.
To soothe rosacea, psoriasis, acne and eczema
Is your skin prone to dermatological problems? You don't know what to do to get rid of it? Try rosehip oil! The presence of vitamin K in its composition increases the micro-vascularization of the skin and thus reduces redness and skin problems. Its powerful circulatory properties are highly sought after by these skin types for its soothing benefits.

Rosehip oil is ideal for promoting and accelerating skin healing thanks to the omega 3-6 and 9 it contains. Applied pure daily to the affected areas, it will also help you to reduce scars over time by reducing the color difference between your scars and the color of your natural skin.
To regenerate skin cells
Has your skin suffered from external aggression? Did you get a slight cut or burn? The unparalleled composition of rosehip oil helps repair damaged tissues by promoting the regeneration of skin cells. The presence of numerous fatty acids such as alpha-linoleic acid and linoleic acid are largely responsible for this regeneration which, for example, very well relieves sunburn in summer.

An excellent beauty oil, rosehip helps nourish and hydrate your skin in order to protect it from external aggressions on a daily basis. Fatty acids (alpha-linoleic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, etc.), beta-carotene, and vitamins are all valuable components for your skin. The result is clear: your skin is softer, more supple and deeply hydrated.
