Rose hip seed organic virgin oil

Rose Hip Seed oil is a real treasure of nature as it is very rich in anti-oxidants. Indeed, it contains γ-tocopherol (vitamin E), known for its anti-oxidant properties(4) and for reducing rashes(1). It also contains carotene pigments, like β–carotene (pro-vitamin A)(1), which are also known for their anti-oxidant properties(4).
Thanks to its high concentration of vitamin C (ascorbic acid)(5), used traditionally for its anti-oxidant properties(4), it is also known for stimulating the synthesis of type I collagen (fibres that support the skin)(6). This oil is prized and used for hydrating the skin and protecting against external stresses (maintaining the hydrolipidic film)(1)(2).

In an amber-coloured glass bottle with a dropper cap to better preserve the oil and provide precise dosing.
