The Most Extraordinary Way to Assist Your Skin

As many of you know, the rose is a plant that has long been used in beauty and healing regimens. The petals, the essential oil, the waters, and the oil from the seeds of the rose hips. To begin with, what are rose hips, you may wonder? And what is in their oil? How might it assist me? Well keep reading!

The rose hip is the bulbous and generally red seed pod that grows after the rose loses its petals. Rose hips are most well known because they are added to tea because they are high in vitamin C. There are seeds inside of the rosehip- small light yellow colored seeds. When pressed (Inflora Botanica uses a healthy cold pressing method much like the method that gets the greatest olive oil and apple cider), the oil that emerges is dark yellow/light orange and absolutely filled with nutrients for your skin. Poetically, rosehip oil is often called the "blood of the rose."

Rosehip oil is one of the beauty industry's best kept secrets. The oil is often used in very small amounts (because it is expensive) in celebrated beauty products and other body treatments. While individuals thought that the incredible benefits that it offers were from its high profile in essential fatty acids, it is now commonly accepted that the majority of benefits are as a result of its incredibly high quantities of vitamin A, or retinol. Dr. Oz called rosehip seed oil "nature's retina-A" which is an accurate statement. Many people report benefits that are truly extraordinary. One gal, a customer, shared that the oil removed her daughter-in-law's pregnancy stretch marks that were from 2 years prior. And she had only been using the oil for a single week!

The face is the most commonly targeted area for the use of rosehip seed oil. Our founder uses it on her face because she has actinic keratosis. She says that the darker spots have faded and that her naturopath uses Vitamin A to treat pre skin cancer. The most common use of the oil is for women who want more hydration in their face. Inflora Botanica's certified organic rosehip seed oil really plumps up the skin. Used just after the shower or when your face is wet, the oil brings the water into the pores and the level of moisture is really heightened. The term anti-aging is a commonly used term with respect to rosehip seed oil for these outcomes.

Eczema sufferers also report serious benefits. The oil decreases the appearance of the raised patches and in unique cases patches totally disappear!! Same with diaper rash for children and adult acne sufferers. Additionally, another customer reported that the rosehip seed oil has healed acne scars that she has had since she was a teenager. The change has heightened her sense of self confidence and she says that she ishappy and "putting her best face forward."
