What is Rosehip Oil?
I first discovered Rosehip Oil back in my University days. While I didn’t have much spare cash floating around to spend on luxury items, I always made it a priority to use natural and organic skincare when I could.
During this time, I noticed the increasing popularity of Roeship Oil in both Australian and New Zealand skincare brands. Brands including Kosmea and Trilogy, started to emerge as leaders in the use of Rosehip Oil. While it appeared to be marketed more towards the ‘mature’ skin types, its benefit on sensitive skin appealed to me most. Over the years, I have grown to love many brands and products containing this wondrous oil, and constantly search out cleansers and creams that contain it.
Why is it great for your skin? What skin types does it suit?
I was attracted to Rosehip Oil products for several reasons. As a source of Vitamin C and essential fatty acids, Rosehip Oil both repairs cells and regulates the oils in my skin respectively. Rosehip Oil also contains Vitamin A, which is great for oily skin, and Vitamin E. Rosehip Oil is in fact perfect for skin of all ages because it ticks so many boxes. Studies have linked the effectiveness of Rosehip Oil in reducing scars and stretch marks, which is great for beauties of any age! [su_spacer]

2. Kosmea Clarifying Facial Wash RRP $34.95 (150ml)
