Rosehip, the gentle one

What the studies on rosehip oil and skin renewal found, and who it tends to suit.

By Reem Khalil · 3 December 2025

Rosehip seed oil is pressed from the seeds of wild roses, and ours comes from Rosa canina grown in southern Chile. It is the base of our best-selling oil for good reason.

What is in it

Rosehip oil is rich in linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids, the fatty acids the skin barrier uses to hold on to water. It also contains small amounts of naturally occurring trans-retinoic acid and vitamin E.

What the studies say

Small clinical studies have found improvements in the look of scars, stretch marks and fine lines after eight to twelve weeks of daily use. The studies are small, and results vary, but they are consistent.

Who it suits

It suits dry, dull and sensitive skin, and people who find retinol too harsh. Because it is high in linoleic acid, many people with oily or breakout-prone skin also tolerate it well.

How to store it

Rosehip oil oxidises quickly once opened. Keep the bottle away from windows and use it within six months of opening. If it starts to smell like crayons, it has gone off.
