benefits of rose hip oil

Rosehips are full of vitamin C, which makes rosehip oil a great tool for
protecting your skin. The vitamin C in rosehip oil acts as an antioxidant, a
substance that protects your cells against damage and disease. Rosehips help repair
your skin after sun damage and can even reverse signs of aging caused by too
much sun.
Rosehip oil contains carotenoids, which help keep the skin fresh and healthy
by creating new skin cells. Rosehip oil also contains vitamin F, which helps trap
moisture in your skin and protect your skin against damage.
Rosehip oil contains vitamin A, which may benefit the skin by:
• reducing and reversing sun damage.
• reducing wrinkles.
• reducing hyperpigmentation.
• treating mild to moderate acne.
There is anecdotal evidence that rosehip oil reduces the appearance of scars and
stretch marks. But there is no scientific evidence to back up the claim. It may be
due to the vitamin A, vitamin C, and fatty acid content of the oil.
