NOW Rosehip Seed Oil 30ml 100% Pure in Kenya

Product Description

Product Summary

Key Benefits

• Skin Regeneration: Trans-retinoic acid (natural vitamin A derivative) boosts collagen, reduces wrinkles, and improves elasticity.
• Scar & Stretch Mark Repair: Fatty acids (linoleic/linolenic acid) and vitamins C/E fade hyperpigmentation and smooth skin texture.
• Deep Hydration: Lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that balances dry/oily skin without clogging pores.
• Antioxidant Shield: Neutralizes free radicals from UV exposure and pollution (critical for Kenya’s equatorial sun).
• Anti-Inflammatory Soothing: Calms eczema, rosacea, and sunburn with phytosterols and carotenoids.

How to Use

Facial Care

• Hair Serum:
  • Rub 1–2 drops between palms; smooth over ends to reduce frizz and add shine.

First Aid & Healing

• Avoid eye area; discontinue if irritation occurs.

    • Allergic to roses or aspirin (salicylate sensitivity).
