Rosehip oil, certified organic

Rosehip oil, certified organic

Organic, cold‑pressed virgin rosehip oil is extracted from the rose hips of Rosa canina and has swiftly become one of the most sought‑after cosmetic oils in skincare. Celebrated for its lightweight, fast‑absorbing texture and naturally nourishing properties, rosehip oil is a star ingredient in serums and moisturisers. It is also popular for use on its own, providing a smooth, hydrated feel to the skin without a heavy finish, making it ideal for all skin types, especially for those seeking hydration without weight.

Skincare Uses

Lightweight and fast‑absorbing: Rosehip oil is often used in skincare formulations for its ability to absorb quickly and leave a smooth, hydrated feel without any greasy residue.

Nourishing and versatile: Its naturally nourishing properties make it a favoured ingredient in DIY formulations such as serums, moisturisers, and facial oils, helping to support a radiant complexion.

Haircare Uses

Moisturising and conditioning: In haircare, rosehip oil is said to help keep strands moisturised and promote a soft, shiny finish.

Protection for delicate hair: Applying a small amount to damp hair is often recommended for those with brittle or colour‑treated hair, as it can help protect against dryness while adding a touch of natural conditioning.

Additional Uses

Versatile cosmetic ingredient: Beyond skincare and haircare, organic rosehip oil is a popular addition to various DIY cosmetic formulations, valued for its lightweight nature and ability to enhance the overall sensory experience of natural beauty products.

Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known allergies or skin sensitivities.

Sustainability: Our journey to bring you rosehip oil begins in the heart of Africa, where responsible, sustainable wild-harvesting preserves the purity of local ecosystems. In Lesotho, wild rosehip harvesting is a lifeline for rural communities, especially women, offering economic empowerment through meaningful, locally accessible employment. Collaborating closely with these communities helps to support the development of sustainable harvesting methods that protect the environment and ensure a steady income, enhancing both livelihoods and ecological health. With rising demand in cosmetics and wellness, this initiative strengthens the rural economy while helping secure the unique resources of the region for generations to come.
