What is Rosehip oil (Expeller Pressed & Refined)?

Rosehip oil is also called Rosehip Oil . It is a fine, nourishing oil for the skin.

Rose hips are the fruits of a rose bush and contain dozens of small white-yellow seeds, from which the oil is obtained. The oil naturally has an earthy, warm scent. Because this is a refined version, the oil has a lighter color and a more subtle scent.

Rosehip oil is widely used in skincare and is best known for its nourishing properties for mature, dry and sensitive skin. The oil naturally contains essential fatty acids and vitamin A.

The oil feels pleasant on the skin, absorbs well and leaves the skin feeling soft and supple.

How is Rosehip oil made?

Rosehip oil is made from the seeds of the rosehip, the fruit of the rose bush. After the fruits have been harvested, the seeds are removed from the fruit and dried.

The oil is then extracted from these seeds by means of expeller pressing. This is a mechanical pressing process in which the oil is pressed from the seeds without the use of solvents.

After pressing, the oil is lightly refined. This means that color and odor are partially reduced, making the oil more stable and neutral in use.

This combination of expeller pressing and light refining creates an oil that is pleasant for cosmetic applications, with a milder scent and a lighter color than the unrefined variant.
