At a glance
Used in European folk medicine for centuries, first as a food and vitamin C source during winter scarcity, later adopted into skincare as cold-pressing techniques made the seed oil practical to extract at scale.
Rosehips are the round fruit that forms below a rose's petals after the flower fades — most commonly harvested from the dog rose, a wild rose native to Europe and parts of Asia and North Africa. Historically used for their vitamin C content, rosehips are now more widely known for the seed oil pressed from within the fruit.
Cold-pressed rosehip seed oil is rich in essential fatty acids and naturally occurring vitamin A, and absorbs into skin without the heavy, greasy feel of denser plant oils — which is why it's become a staple of facial oil formulations.
