4 Powerful Beauty Benefits of Rosehip Powder for Your Skin
Extracted from the seeds of wild rose plants, rosehip powder is a skincare wonder, providing a wide range of skin-healthy benefits. The rich concentration of vitamins, antioxidants, and other nutrients, make the powder derived from the rosehip fruit able to penetrate deep into skin layers and vitally improve your skin health.
Known for its high concentration of vitamin C, which is one of the most potent antioxidants out there, rosehip powder also has high levels of vitamins E, A, and D. This combination of nutrients makes rosehip powder a powerful antioxidant that helps protect skin against environmental aggressors and slow down signs of aging. Also packed with other types of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, rosehip is known to fight inflammation and refresh skin.
With all of these beauty benefits, I knew rosehip powder had to be a central ingredient in one of my core skincare products. Check out why I was blown away by this ingredient beyond its beautiful natural pink shade:
Stimulates Collagen Production and Helps With Anti-Aging
Rosehips are SO packed with vitamin C, (about 60 times the vitamin C found in an orange!) that there is a wealth of skin benefits to talk about.
One of the major benefits of vitamin C is its ability to stimulate the production of collagen in the body. Collagen is the protein that forms the protective tissue in the body. It also helps improve the skin’s firmness and prevent fine lines by advancing collagen formation.
Rosehips are also high in beta-carotene, an antioxidant that promotes the renewal and growth of skin cells, giving Vitamin C a further regenerative boost!
Treats Inflammation and Soothes Redness
For soothing redness and irritation on skin, rosehip contains great anti-inflammatory properties. Rosehip powder contains fatty acids, such as linoleic acid, alpha-linoleic acid, and oleic acid, that work as anti-inflammatory agents. Also, the high levels of vitamin C helps make blood vessels stronger, and lessens the damage caused by harmful chemicals.
These nutrients can help treat inflammatory disorders, helping reduce redness and irritation on the complexion. The inflammatory powers of rosehip powder may also calm the redness and irritation associated with breakouts. Plus, it’s non-comedogenic and won’t clog pores!
Brightens, Heals and Moisturizes Skin
High in essential fatty acids, rosehip powder has been praised for the moisturizing boost it gives to weathered, dry and dehydrated skin.
The fatty acids act as excellent moisturizers for the skin, while also helping to form and keep the walls of skin cells strong and able to lock in moisture. Rosehip mixtures high in bioflavonoids awaken and revitalize tired-looking skin and help reduce the signs of aging. Vitamin C is also known to have a skin-brightening effect, giving your complexion a natural radiance.
Combats UV Damage and Dark Spots
The essential fatty acids and antioxidants in rosehip powder give it the unique ability to combat UV damage by the sun, while also treating pigmentation. While the antioxidants work to improve skin texture and tone, the essential fatty acids prevent scarring and encourage skin regeneration.
Vitamin A in the powder may mildly even out your skin tone, helping to correct dark spots and soften the texture.
