Also called rose hip seed oil, it has been used for centuries by the Andean Indians for healing purposes and skin care. It contains concentrations of linolenic acid and trans-retin-acid also known as vitamin A acid which is effective in slowing the aging process of the skin by supporting keratin migration, cell regeneration, and collagen production.
