Rosehip Oil
Cold-pressed rosehip oil (INCI: Rosa Canina Fruit Oil). It is a light, fast-absorbing oil that is very high in linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids, which gives it a dry, non-greasy feel. Rosehip oil is one of the most popular oils for face oils and serums, especially for dry and mature skin.
