AN EXCEPTIONAL VEGETABLE OIL!
A close cousin of the Eglantier, the Musquat Rose grows mainly in the wild in America and more particularly in Chile. Recently, Europe has also begun to cultivate it. Following considerable and inexplicable results on superficial skin marks, researchers have updated the presence of transretinoic acid, also called retinol or vitamin A acid, an extremely active form of allergenic and irritating vitamin A. In the natural complex of rosehip vegetable oil, the action of this acid would then be beneficial without its negative aspects.

🌹 Historical Origins of Rosehip Oil
🌿 Traditional Use in Indigenous Cultures
Rosehip oil has been used for centuries by Indigenous peoples of the Andes, especially in Chile and Argentina. The seeds of Rosa rubiginosa (often also referred to as Rosa mosqueta) were traditionally used to:

- Heal wounds and burns
- Fade scars and spots
- Soothe irritated or sun-damaged skin
- Improve skin tone and elasticity, especially in the harsh mountain climate

They would press the seeds to extract the oil manually and apply it directly to skin issues, relying on the plant’s natural regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties.

🧪 Scientific Discovery and Modern Interest
🧬 Research in the 1980s – The Chilean Breakthrough
The global skincare industry began taking notice of rosehip oil after a 1980s study by the University of Concepción in Chile. Researchers discovered that:

- Rosehip seed oil significantly reduced scarring, wrinkles, and skin discoloration
- It had remarkable tissue-regenerating properties
- Its composition - high in linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and trans-retinoic acid - was clinically effective in skin repair

This scientific validation led to a surge of interest from cosmetic companies and natural medicine practitioners alike.

🌍 Global Expansion
Following its Chilean roots, the oil spread to:

- Europe and North America: Used in organic and anti-aging skincare
- Australia and New Zealand: Where local rose species (like Rosa canina) were also explored
- Africa and Eastern Europe: Where rosehip is now cultivated for both skincare and nutritional supplements (as dried fruit or tea)
- The oil is now a global staple in natural skincare products, especially in anti-aging, scar-healing, and sensitive skin formulations.

🧴 From Folk Remedy to Cult Skincare Hero
Today, rosehip oil is embraced by:

- Dermatologists and aestheticians for its gentle yet powerful action
- Natural and organic brands as a core ingredient for vegan, cruelty-free skincare
- Celebrities and influencers, often cited in routines of people like Miranda Kerr and Kate Middleton
- It’s also used in post-surgery care, tattoo aftercare, and stretch mark prevention during pregnancy (though always patch-tested for sensitive skin).
