Certified
USDA Organic Rosa mosqueta oil [Prima Fleur No. 433] is a fantastic
addition to face and body massages oils and face and body serums. You will also
find it in our facial massage oil for dry, aging, and/or menopausal skin. It is
one of the best vegetable oils for treating skin that exhibits the effects of
environmental damage. Used traditionally to treat scarred, burned, and
weathered skin.
From the
mountains of Chile, this naturally extracted organic oil is a complete product
in itself having proven therapeutic benefits unlike other vegetable oils. It
was first thought the positive regeneration properties of the oil were due to
the high level of essential fatty acids: over 45% linoleic acid, 33% linolenic,
and 14% oleic acid. Although beneficial to skin, there was more significant
regeneration activity credited to trans-retinoic acid, a derivative of retinol
(vitamin A).
Some of the
most remarkable benefits have been found in treatment of photo-aged skin. While
treatment with synthetic forms of Vitamin A produce undesirable side effects,
the natural “time-release” properties of Rose Hip Seed Oil eliminate any risks. It
is often suggested for treatment of dermatitis and scarring. It is also useful
in hair and scalp treatments.

Our Rosehip
Seed Oil [Prima Fleur No. 515] is wild grown from Rosa canina and CO2 extracted in Germany.
It contains Vitamin A, which helps to delay the effects of skin aging, assists
with cell regeneration, and promotes collagen and elastin levels to increase.
This results in firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin with greater
elasticity. Rosehip seed oil also contains a high amount of essential fatty
acids and Vitamin E, which further promotes healthy skin. In particular, it is
high in linoleic and linolenic acids, which are important skin nutrients.
