For thousands of years, people from cultures like the Egyptians and Mayans have used rosehip oil in traditional medicine to help with stomachaches, heal wounds, and more. During World War II, when oranges were hard to find, rosehips became an important source of Vitamin C to help fight illness. Later, in the 1980s, scientists discovered rosehip oil’s benefits for sensitive skin, making it a popular choice in beauty products.

Rosehip oil can be used in many ways. For skin, it works as a light, quick-absorbing moisturizer for all types, leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated. Just add a few drops to your clean face and massage gently. For hair, rosehip oil adds moisture and shine; massage a few drops into your scalp and hair, leave it for 30 minutes to an hour, then shampoo as usual. For scars and stretch marks, applying a few drops and massaging it twice a day may help reduce their appearance over time.
