Feed your face with this nourishing skin superfood!
 
Unlike the pressed seeds alone, whole Rosehips are loaded with vitamin A, E, C (60x more Vitamin C than an Orange), minerals, and more! Rosehips are also an excellent source of concentrated bioactive compounds, like phenols, lycopene, flavonoids, and ellagic acid. 
 
The compounds in Rosehips are exceptional at reducing oxidative stress, especially resulting from UV damage, and can also stimulate collagen production and reduce inflammation in the skin when applied topically.
 
Collagen production is attributed to Rosehips Vitamin C content, which is also the compound known to helping reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 
 
Vitamin A is responsible for helping improve and protect the skins moisture content and barrier, and is found in high levels in Rosehips.
 
Essential fatty acids found in Rosehips can also prevent scarring, and promote skin regeneration when applied topically.
 
One Thailand study reports that applying rosehip powder to the skin helped to improve aging-induced skin conditions, such as certain types of melanoma. This could be due to the high content of Quercetin found in the fruit! These benefits are not foudn in the pressed seed.
