At Apothesea, we believe in harnessing Nature's most potent ingredients to enhance skin health and vitality. One standout botanical in our proprietary Vital7 Youth Complex is Rosehip Seed Oil—a powerhouse for youthful, radiant skin.
What is Rosehip Seed Oil?
Rosehip Seed Oil has been used for centuries for its remarkable skin-rejuvenating properties. It is derived from the seeds inside the fruit of the wild rose bush, making it uniquely rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. Unlike traditional rose essential oil, which is extracted from rose petals, Rosehip Seed Oil is lightweight yet profoundly nourishing, allowing it to absorb quickly into the skin and deliver long-lasting hydration and nutrients.
The Science Behind Rosehip Seed Oil
Rosehip Seed Oil is abundant in the following:
Essential Fatty Acids (Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9) deeply penetrate the skin, strengthening its natural barrier and locking in moisture.
Vitamin A encourages cell turnover, helping to diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
Vitamin C is a natural brightening agent that helps even skin tone and boosts collagen production.
Beta-carotene & Lycopene are potent antioxidants that combat free radicals and protect against premature aging.
Benefits of Rosehip Oil in Skincare
Intense Hydration & Skin Barrier Support
One of the most notable benefits of Rosehip Seed Oil is its ability to hydrate the skin deeply. Linoleic acid helps reinforce the skin's lipid barrier, preventing moisture loss and improving overall texture. This makes it an ideal ingredient in our 23 Phytoserum and Dream Phytocream, ensuring skin remains soft, supple, and nourished day and night.
Promotes Skin Regeneration & Even Skin Tone
Thanks to its natural concentration of Vitamin A and Vitamin C, Rosehip Seed Oil plays a crucial role in improving skin texture, reducing dark spots, and minimizing the appearance of scars. It enhances collagen production, which supports skin elasticity and firmness. The regenerative properties of Rosehip Seed Oil ensure you have a more radiant and youthful complexion, making it a cornerstone of our Vital7 Youth Complex.
Antioxidant Protection
We're constantly exposed to environmental aggressors, such as UV rays, pollution, and artificial heating and cooling. Luckily, Rosehip Seed Oil is rich in antioxidants that help combat free radicals, preventing premature aging and maintaining a healthy, vibrant complexion. Combined with the other nutrient-dense botanicals in the Vital7 Youth Complex, it provides an extra layer of defense against environmental damage.
The Role of Rosehip Oil in Our Apothesea Formulations
Our signature 23 Phytoserum and Dream Phytocream harness the full potential of Rosehip Seed Oil to deeply hydrate, enhance elasticity, and promote a smooth, even skin tone. When paired with additional powerhouse botanicals in our Vital7 Youth Complex, this ingredient works synergistically to deliver visible, long-term results, particularly for mature or aging skin.
23 Phytoserum: A lightweight, fast-absorbing serum that includes Rosehip Oil to hydrate, brighten, and protect against environmental damage. It is best used in the morning under moisturizer and sunscreen.
Dream Phytocream: A rich, nourishing night cream that works overnight to repair and restore skin, leaving it visibly plumper, softer, and more luminous by morning.
