Refined rosehip oil is a type of carrier oil derived from the seeds of rosehips, which are the fruit of the wild rose plant (Rosa canina or Rosa rubiginosa). The oil is obtained through a process of cold-pressing the seeds, which helps retain the oil's natural properties and nutrients.

The refining process involves filtering and purifying the raw rosehip oil to remove any impurities, sediments, or unwanted components. The purpose of refining is to produce a clear, stable, and odourless oil with a longer shelf life. Refined rosehip oil is often lighter in colour and texture compared to unrefined or cold-pressed rosehip oil.

The refining process removes some of the natural scent and colour of the oil, making it more suitable for cosmetic and skincare products where a neutral odour and appearance are desired. The refining also helps to eliminate any potential allergens that might be present in unrefined rosehip oil, making it a safer option for those with sensitive skin.

Refined rosehip oil is known for its skincare benefits, as it contains essential fatty acids, vitamins (such as vitamin A, C, and E), and antioxidants. These components contribute to its ability to moisturise and nourish the skin, improve skin elasticity, and promote a more even skin tone. The oil is often used in various skincare formulations, including creams, lotions, serums, and facial oils.


Moisturiser: Rosehip oil is known for its hydrating properties, making it an excellent natural moisturizer. It helps to nourish the skin, leaving it soft and supple.

Anti-Aging Serum: Rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin C and E, and essential fatty acids, rosehip oil can support skin regeneration and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Scar Reduction: The oil is believed to promote skin regeneration and reduce the visibility of scars, including surgical scars, acne scars, and stretch marks.

Hyperpigmentation Treatment: Rosehip oil may help brighten skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation or dark spots due to its vitamin A content.

Sun Damage Repair: The antioxidants in rosehip oil may assist in repairing skin damaged by sun exposure, potentially minimizing the effects of UV rays on the skin.

Acne Treatment: Despite being an oil, rosehip oil is often well-tolerated by various skin types, and its anti-inflammatory properties may help soothe acne-prone skin without clogging pores.

Eczema and Dermatitis Relief: The calming and nourishing properties of rosehip oil may provide relief for individuals with eczema or dermatitis, helping to soothe irritated and inflamed skin.

Skin Brightening: Regular use of rosehip oil may contribute to a brighter complexion and a more even skin tone.

Cuticle and Nail Treatment: Rosehip oil can be applied to cuticles and nails to moisturize and nourish, promoting healthier-looking nails.

Hair Care: In addition to skincare, rosehip oil can be used on the hair to add shine and moisture. It is often applied to the ends of the hair to prevent split ends.

Massage Oil: Due to its lightweight and easily absorbed nature, rosehip oil is sometimes used as a massage oil, providing both skincare benefits and a pleasant massage experience.

Rosehip oil is insoluble in water and alchohol, but soluble in other oils. It should be added to the formula as is, in the fat phase of the formulation, and can be used at 1-100%, as it can be used neat in massage oils.
