Rosehip Seed Oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid), making it prone to oxidation; always pair with an antioxidant such as Tocopherol or Rosemary Extract to extend shelf life. It blends well with other carrier oils and lipid-soluble actives. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat, light, and air during formulation and packaging.

Formulation notes

Rosehip Seed Oil is a lightweight dry oil prized for its high content of essential fatty acids (linoleic acid ~45%, alpha-linolenic acid ~35%) and naturally occurring trans-retinoic acid precursors, which support skin regeneration, fade hyperpigmentation, and improve texture. Formulators use it in facial serums, body oils, and anti-aging emulsions for its skin-renewing and soothing properties. Its high unsaturation makes it susceptible to rancidity; cold-pressed, unrefined grades have a relatively short shelf life of 6–12 months and should be stored refrigerated.
