Protection from Age Spots

The rose hip grows just under the blossom.  After the petals have withered and fallen off the hip continues to grow protecting the seeds it contains. The oil is made by cold pressing the seeds.  Not all roses are the same.  Good quality rose hip oil comes from four rose varieties grown in South America.  It takes 60.000 blooms to produce one ounce of rose hip oil.

Rose Hip Oil is considered to be safe.  Discontinue use if you have a reaction like redness, itching, stinging or other signs of irritation.
