HERE’S WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ROSEHIP OIL
When it comes to skincare products, I'm a tough sell — they have to tick ALL the boxes to win my heart. Rosehip Oil definitely does. There might not be a single ingredient that will fix every skin concern, but Rosehip Oil comes pretty close.
What is Rosehip Oil?
Rosehip oil is extracted from the seeds of the small fruit that sits below the rose. Filled with nourishing vitamins A and C and essential fatty acids, it's a staple in skincare routines. It's a versatile ingredient that can help optimise the look and feel of the skin and scalp.
So, Are All Rosehip Oils the Same?
No. The rosehips from different species of rose contain different levels of nutrients and actives.
Rosa Rubiginosa vs Rosa Canina
The two most common types are Rosa Rubiginosa and Rosa Canina. They have a different make-up of Essential Fatty Acids so have a different impact on the skin. Rosa Rubiginosa has superior levels of Trans-Retinoic Acid, making it extremely effective at restoring scar tissue, fading fine lines, wrinkles and blemishes.
Silki Organic Rosehip Oil
Silki's Rosehip Oil is 100% cold-pressed and contains vitamins C, A and E, lycopene, beta-carotene, essential fatty acids and omega 3, 6 and 9, derived from Rosa Rubiginosa. It supports all skin types and has more vitamin C than an orange or lemon.
Other benefits include:
- Deeply nourishes and hydrates skin
- Boosts collagen formation and skin elasticity
- Protects against sun damage
- Brightens skin
- Reduces inflammation — great for acne and eczema
- Lessens hyperpigmentation
- Diminishes scars and wrinkles

How to Use Silki Rosehip Oil
Rosehip oil can be used up to twice a day, morning and evening. Apply it directly to the skin or over your moisturiser. Adding a couple of drops to your moisturiser in the morning or mixing with your serum at night can be beneficial.
