Rosa rubiginosa (Rose Hip Seed Oil) is superb for general use as a facial moisturizer or for facial massage. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids (mainly linoleic acid and alpha- and gamma-linolenic acid), which are vital for regenerative processes of the skin.
There is good research that Rosa rubiginosa helps to reverse the effects of sun damage – wrinkles and spots. A very small amount is needed: rub the palms together and press gently into the face.
