Rosehip is the fruit of a rosewood. When roses die and are left on the bush, they leave behind bright reddish-orange, spherical fruit. Small edible fruits are thought to be a powerful source of healing.

Rosehip has been used in medicinal and cosmetic applications for over 2000 years, especially by women of the Maya, Egyptian and Native American communities, as well as by the Andean Indians of Chile, in the belief of "Oil of Youth".

Medicinal preparations made from rosehip were used by Ancient Chinese doctors and early Indians.

When Britain couldn't import citrus fruits during World War II, the government encouraged people to pick rose hips. Rosehip was made into syrup and then distributed to humans as a source of vitamin C and other nutrients.

Rosehip oil is obtained by cold pressing from the seeds of the Rosa canina variety all over the world, which is found in regions such as South Africa and Europe; however, it has also been obtained from the seeds of the Rosa rubiginosa and Rosa moschata cultivars traditionally found in the Southern Andes.

In the 1980s, a wide variety of scientific studies suggested that the healing properties of rosehip oil would be beneficial for all skin types, especially sensitive skin types and those with skin problems. The high levels of unsaturated fatty acids in rosehip oil prevent it from leaving an oily residue on the skin, so it is classified as a "dry oil" that absorbs quickly and easily into the skin.

It offers many benefits thanks to the fatty acids it contains and vitamins C and A.
