Product description

Rosehip CO₂-to seed extract BIO is a pure plant oil extract obtained from the dried seeds of Rosa canina (rosehip) using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. This gentle process preserves all the bioactive components of rosehip seeds - especially the unsaturated fatty acids, tocopherols and carotenoids, which have significant regenerative and antioxidant effects. The extract is orange-red in colour, clear and oily, with a delicate fruity aroma. It is stabilised with a small amount of organic rosemary antioxidant, which improves its resistance to oxidation and prolongs its shelf life. It is a CO₂-to (total extract) - a complete extract containing the full spectrum of lipid components, including fatty acids, sterols, tocopherols and carotenoids.

Cosmetic use

In cosmetics, rosehip seed oil is known as an intensely regenerative and anti-aging extract. Thanks to its content of essential fatty acids, tocopherols and carotenoids , it stimulates cell renewal and accelerates the regeneration of damaged skin. It is ideal for dry, mature, sensitive or damaged skin where it helps to soften scars, wrinkles or pigment spots. It improves hydration, elasticity and protects the skin from both moisture loss and free radical damage. In hair care products, it regenerates hair fibres, strengthens their structure and adds shine. For its nourishing and protective effects, it is often combined with other CO₂ extracts and vegetable oils.

Safety and storage
