Properties and benefits of rosehip oil
This oil has a very high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids (ac. Alpha-Linoleic Acid 44%, ac. Linoleic Acid and Gamma-Linoleic 34%, Oleic ac 15%, ac. Palmitic 4%, Stereatic 2%) ), essential substances for the synthesis of prostaglandins, responsible for the regeneration processes of membranes and skin tissues. These essential fatty acids are the main responsible for its cosmetic-dermatological effects, as they are essential for the epidermis renewal processes. Furthermore, the presence of trans-retinoic acid, an isomer of Vitamin A, enhances the integrity and efficiency of all epithelia and the natural immunity of cells.
