Essential Oil Superhero

Rosehip Oil is an oil extracted from the seed of a wild rose bush found in the Southern Andes.  Our Rosehip oil at Essential Living is extracted through a cold press process, allowing it to retain all of its nautural vital nutrients.  It’s a superpower in the oils world, a multivitamin oil that has numerous health and beauty uses.

Thanks to this oil's antioxidants and vitamins A (retinol) and C, as well as linolenic acids, it’s ranked as one of the best oils for skin and hair. 

Ready to Use

Rosehip oil is one of our favorite products because it's a ready-to-use oil!  Straight from the bottle, this oil can be applied to your skin and hair - no harsh smells, no carrier oils necessary. 

We like to use it for our hair to make strands stronger and shinier.  It's awesome for skin treatments, for those suffering from eczema and psoriasis.  It can clear up acne and blemishes as well as fill in wrinkles and crows feet.

Extremely high in fatty acids, Rosehip oil has the power to promote cell turnover, which plumps the skin and reduces the look of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks and burns.

Due to it’s high content of Vitamin A, or retinol, Rosehip oil is second to none for correcting UV damage from the sun.

We also love to use it on our hair.  It adds vitamins back to your strands, root to tip, giving your hair a beautiful shine and preventing breakage by strengthening the strands.
