Product description

Rosehip CO₂-to extract BIO is a high quality vegetable oil obtained from the dried fruits of Rosa canina (rosehip) by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. This modern and gentle process is carried out without chemical solvents, heavy metals or microbiological contaminants, while preserving the full spectrum of bioactive substances present in rose hips. It has a clear to slightly cloudy dark red colour, a pleasant fruity aroma and an oily consistency. The extract is stabilized with a small amount of organic rosemary antioxidant, which protects the oil from oxidation and prolongs its shelf life. It is a CO₂-to (total extract) - a complete extract containing all the lipid components of the plant, including fatty acids, sterols, tocopherols and carotenoids.
