What is Rosehip Oil?
Commonly known as Rosehip Oil, Rosa Canina (Dog Rose) Fruit Extract is a cherished botanical in natural skincare, renowned for its lightweight feel and impressive nutrient profile. Extracted from the hip or fruit of the wild climbing rose bush, this golden oil is rich in naturally occurring compounds that support skin hydration, elasticity and overall radiance.
Within the Ageless collection, products such as the Ageless Antioxidant Rosehip Oil, showcases the pure power of this ingredient, while advanced formulations like the Ageless Plumping Renewal Serum and Ageless Luminous Perfecting Serum build on its benefits for timeless skin vitality.
Essential Fatty Acids and Moisture Barrier Support
One of rosehip oil benefits is its high content of essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic and linolenic acids. These omega-rich compounds have been found to help keep cell walls strong so that they don't lose water, strengthening the skin's natural moisture barrier and reducing transepidermal water loss so skin feels more supple and deeply hydrated. As such, rosehip oil skin benefits include acting as a replenishing treatment that helps restore comfort and softness in dry or dehydrated skin. These compounds have also been known to help reduce scars and fine lines.
Products like the Ageless Hydrating Face Fluid SPF 50+ and Ageless Radiance Day Lotion are enriched with these protective benefits, while the Glow Purely Radiant Botanical Face Oil and Glow Beauty Boost Cleansing Balm capture Rosehip’s replenishing properties in lighter, everyday formats. Rosehip’s natural support for scar reduction and smoothing fine lines makes it a staple in restorative skincare.
Vitamin A and Collagen Support
Additionally, Rosehip oil contains natural vitamin A derivatives and provitamin A (beta-carotene), which support the skin's natural collagen production and encourage cell turnover. Over time, rosehip skincare helps improve the appearance of skin firmness and smoothness, making it a popular choice in formulas that address early signs of ageing, fine lines or uneven texture. The rosehip extract skin benefits become particularly evident with consistent use.
The Ageless Extra Firming Night Cream, and is powered by these renewing qualities. For daytime routines, pairing the Soft Focus Pore Perfecting Primer or Ageless Illuminating Primer with a complexion product like the Flawless Foundation SPF 15 range provides both immediate radiance and long-term skin support.
Antioxidant Protection and Brightening Benefits
Beyond hydration and collagen support, rosehip benefits for skin also include a natural concentration of antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, which help protect the skin from oxidative damage and the visible effects of environmental stressors like pollution and UV exposure. These natural compounds boost skin's overall radiance, brightening the complexion and promoting a more even skin tone.
Anti-Inflammatory and Gentle Properties
Rosehip’s gentle anti-inflammatory compounds make it a favourite for sensitive or blemish-prone skin. Its polyphenols help calm irritation and reduce redness, seen in supportive formulations like the Restore Antioxidant Face Serum. Rosehip’s tolerability ensures that it is well-suited across nearly all skin types, from dry and mature to oily or combination.
Versatility and Modern Applications
Unsurprisingly - for all of these reasons - Rosa Canina Fruit Extract continues to be a go-to ingredient in both traditional and contemporary skincare, with rosehip oil skincare valued for its gentleness and ability to nourish, protect and revitalise a spectrum of skin types naturally.
