The History of Rosehip
Rosehip Oil is a fruit oil extracted from the seeds of the Rosehip, an amber berry-like fruit that grows wild on Rosehip bushes and is left behind after the rose has flowered and dropped its petals and it has been used historically for millennia. The origins of Rosehip in skin care are vague, but we know from burial sites and hieroglyphics that ancient Egyptians used plant-based oils such as Rosehip on their skin. Rosehip oil was also used by the Mayans and Native Americans because of its healing properties. Cleopatra used Rosehip oil and Castor oil, and she was renowned for her regal beauty. It also has been noted that Kate Middleton uses Rosehip oil every day on her skin.
