Benefits of Rose Hip Oil

The rose has always been appreciated for its beauty and fragrance. Cultivated for thousands of years, roses are an ancient symbol of love and beauty. The ancient Greeks and Romans identified the rose with their goddesses of love, Aphrodite and Venus. Today, pink and red roses are commonly given as expressions of love and admiration.

Rose hips are the seed pod left after the rose petals fall off. Also called rosa mosqueta, rose hip oil is a popular essential oil. It is rich in active chemical compounds that offer a number of potent medicinal, cosmetic and nutritional benefits. Rose hip tea is often recommended because it is so rich in Vitamin C.
