Rosehip Facial Products

My absolute favourite ingredient to use in facial care is rosehip oil. It's such an amazing oil, full of vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidants and essential fatty acids. It's what's known as a 'dry' oil as it absorbs quickly, without feeling greasy. It can help reduce the appearance of scars, stretchmarks, wrinkles, even sun damage. I've been using nothing but pure rosehip oil as a facial moisturiser for about 5 years, and I love the way it makes my skin look and feel. It was with this in mind that I decided to expand my facial care range (I already carry pure rosehip oil) to include a facial cream and facial soap, using this wonderful oil.

This is my Rosehip & Shea Facial Soap, freshly cut this morning. Lots of olive oil, shea butter, and of course, rosehip oil. I've also added gentle French rose clay, and it's lightly scented with litsea cubea essential oil. This soap will be suitable for all skin types, but particularly dry, mature or sensitive skin.

This is the Rosehip Facial Cream. I've used a good amount of rosehip oil ... I wanted this to be the 'star' of the cream, and not just something that would look good on the ingredients list. I also added olive oil, which is very close in PH to the oils naturally produced by the skin; plus cocoa butter for an extra hydration boost. It's very lightly scented with litsea cubea.

I find this cream wonderfully rich and nourishing, but not at all greasy. Having oily/combination skin myself, I find this is a perfect day cream, and I still continue to use the pure rosehip oil at night. For those with more dry skin types, you can combine the two: use the rosehip oil as a serum underneath, then apply the cream over the top.

Both of our new rosehip facial products will be available towards the end of August, and stay tuned as there might be a giveaway on the cards :)
