Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Rosa Rubiginosa (rosehip) seed oil has been used in Andean and Chilean traditional medicine for centuries for wound healing and skin regeneration. This modern ester version was developed to create a lighter cosmetic formulation while retaining the oil's conditioning properties.
