Reviews
Milana, 35 years old
I bought it at a ridiculous price. I mixed it with wheat germ oil in a ratio of 1 to 1. I apply it like a cream - lubricate it with a thin layer. The skin becomes elastic, color returns even after a hard day at work, which is noticeable even in the photo. It’s great for getting yourself in order in the evening if you need to go on a date or visit.
Zhanna, 50 years old
Ideally, mix the oil with light essential oils. There, the property of rose hips to clog pores is compensated. The main thing to remember is that if you leave pure oil on your skin too long, you can become a “carrot” - some companies put a lot of color on it. It is better to buy cheap ones, they are more natural.
Sergey, 63 years old
I have had gastritis since my student years. Even then, my grandmother suggested that during exacerbations, drink a teaspoon before meals when there is an exacerbation. Since then there have been practically no attacks. At the hospital they didn’t do anything about my illness, they said it was chronic.

For many centuries, vegetable oils have replaced us with newfangled cosmetics, expensive seasonings, and even pills for serious diseases. Some deny the miraculous power of organic components, while others, on the contrary, refuse to use the wealth of scientific progress. “Liquid sun” made from rosehip seeds has long attracted attention with its bright packaging and promising properties declared by the manufacturer. Whose side is the truth on and how can rosehip oil serve modern people?
general characteristics
The liquid obtained from the berries is popularly called the “king of natural oils.” What did the product deserve such a high regalia? The ingredient has a whole range of beneficial properties: toning, regeneration, hydration, nutrition, counteracting inflammation, infections and microbes.
The plant is widespread in the Euro-Siberian area and is found from Scandinavia to Lake Baikal. Red berries do not move into the Arctic zone and only occasionally descend to the steppe territories. The plant is especially popular in the European part of Russia, the southwest of Transbaikalia, Kazakhstan and Altai.
The medicinal golden liquid is obtained from 2 main varieties of rose hips: May and cinnamon. Both varieties belong to the rose hip family. The specific development of bushes and berries is almost identical. Rose hips grow up to 2 meters in length. The powerful base is entwined with thin branches that are very similar to plastic rods. Each branch is harmoniously covered with sparse thorns, and between them there are pairs of angular leaves.
As the rosehip matures, it produces beautiful pink flowers that look like exotic flat roses. The flower grows solitary, slightly flattened. There are a total of 5 petals and many uncountable stamens. The palette of shades is not limited to just soft pink. Flowers can be painted in any color in the red spectrum. The fruits are round (in the shape of a regular stretched ball), smooth, bright red with a very pleasant sweet-sour taste. Inside the fruit there are several seeds, from which a medicinal liquid is subsequently prepared.
The unique properties of the plant began to be used back in the 17th century. Essential oil was initially isolated from rose hips, the only value of which was considered to be its delicate viscous aroma. Later, “liquid sun” was used to treat skin pathologies and diseases of the abdominal organs. Over time, ladies became interested in the fragrant liquid and began to use it as a nourishing and moisturizing cream.
Method of obtaining oil
The oil is obtained by extracting or cold pressing rosehip seeds. The process is quite labor-intensive, and the final product yield is minimal. The seeds are extracted from the berries, thoroughly dried, and then crushed in huge industrial vats. After extraction or cold pressing, an oily liquid with a pronounced plant aroma and a pleasant shade (from golden pink to rich brown) is obtained from dense rosehip seeds. The taste of the final product is slightly bitter.
The component is enriched with healthy fatty acids and carotenoids. The product is used in cosmetology, cooking and traditional medicine.
Useful properties of the product
Our ancestors squeezed rosehip oil for further medicinal use. Modern medicine has made several impressive steps forward, proven the beneficial effect of the ingredient, and also launched the production of medicines. The liquid is used in both pure and processed forms.
The pure liquid is consumed as a choleretic agent. The oil really helps to cope with the symptoms and root cause of hepatitis, cholecystitis and other pathologies associated with the secretion of bile. Moreover, the component affects the secretion of gastric juice, which leads to increased appetite and normalization of metabolic processes. Based on rosehip oil, medications are prepared that fight gastritis, ulcerative colitis and other diseases of the abdominal cavity.
The multifunctionality of the product lies in its effect on most body systems. In addition to the gastrointestinal tract, the cardiovascular, nervous, skeletal systems, skin, and mucous membranes of internal organs also benefit. Long-term use of the liquid component leads to normalization of blood levels. This not only protects the heart/vessels from possible problems, but also helps to cope with excess weight.
The components contained in the oil act as unique building blocks that maintain the integrity of the walls of organs and blood vessels. These bricks prevent the development of atherosclerosis and the appearance of atherosclerotic plaques (they have the properties of resolving existing formations).
Based on extracts from rose hips, not only medicines are created, but also. They help saturate the body with missing vitamins (especially important in the autumn-winter period), strengthen the protective function of the immune system, make nails and teeth stronger, hair longer, face cleaner, and look more confident.
Internal use of a component
The component is used internally in the treatment of: stomatitis, gingivitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, and other pathologies of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and nasopharynx. The dosage depends on the individual characteristics of the patient and the characteristics of the pathology that needs to be affected.
Do not self-medicate, contact your doctor who will help you deal with the problem as quickly as possible and provide competent therapeutic assistance.
The oil has a calming effect and acts as a kind of antidepressant. After ingestion, a person feels relaxation and harmony, and depressive thoughts fade into the background. But improved mood, self-confidence and self-confidence may be temporary. If depressive conditions torment you frequently and without cause, contact a specialized doctor and undergo a comprehensive examination.
The component can be consumed internally not only in its pure form, but also in various combinations. The body will receive a double dose of vitamins and nutrients, which will accelerate and enhance the desired result.
External use of the component
Rosehip oil can be safely applied to the skin. It easily copes with wounds, burns, radiation injuries, scars and stretch marks. A rapid regeneration process is launched in the skin, which, importantly, acts softly and delicately. Doctors recommend using oil to treat sensitive areas of the human body.
For example, nursing mothers who are faced with the problem of cracked nipples need the most gentle product that will not push the baby away from the breast, but will moisturize the skin, relieving the woman of pain and suffering. Rosehip oil is just such a miracle cure. Within a few hours after application, the woman will get rid of discomfort, and after a few days she will completely forget about the problem.
For external use, it is recommended to acquire a basin (or herbal medicinal infusion), cotton sponges and gauze napkins. A napkin or cotton pad is dipped into the oil, and then the affected area is carefully treated. The average processing time is 5-10 minutes.
Use of the component in cooking
In culinary practice, the ingredient is used extremely rarely. A sour taste can easily ruin a dish and blur the overall palette. But a small amount of oil can, on the contrary, add a few necessary accents and turn ordinary wheat porridge into a dish that claims to be a culinary masterpiece. The component is added to all cereal porridges, it is used to season salads and is added to dough to create sweet pastries.
Follow the recipe exactly. 1 extra spoon of the ingredient will turn even a delicious dish into a rancid mass that is impossible to eat.
The component can only be used in its pure form, without heat treatment. When exposed to high temperatures, the structure of the product changes and the oil is deprived of its entire range of beneficial properties.
Use of the component in cosmetology
Rosehip oil can really replace the lion's share of women's cosmetology arsenal. The texture of the component is so light that the skin instantly absorbs the received dose of vitamins/minerals and does not leave an oily sheen (the main thing is to apply the optimal amount of product).
The effect of the product on the skin is:
- regeneration;
- rejuvenation (smoothes out age-related changes);
- increasing elasticity;
- normalization of the secretion of the sebaceous glands;
- eliminating irritation and its root cause;
- acceleration of intracellular metabolism;
- supporting the protective function of the dermis;
- protection from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.
The product is best suited for those with dry, aging skin. Fading beauty does not have to be restored with the help of a surgeon or beauty injections. If you take care of yourself in advance (starting from the age of 20-25), then it is quite possible to avoid the manifestations of premature aging. Thanks to vitamins, the oil will improve skin tone, strengthen blood vessels, and remove the stigma of age and fatigue from your face. Moreover, the soft texture of the product is suitable for the most sensitive part of the face - the area around the eyes. Apply a drop of golden liquid to this area every day and after 1-2 months you will notice amazing results. The skin will tighten, become velvety and moisturized, and signs of fatigue will disappear.
The product made from rosehip seeds is prohibited from being used for acne, acne and various manifestations of allergies. Skin problems must be eliminated with specialized medications that are selected individually by a dermatologist. Rosehip oil can only aggravate the situation and make the treatment process longer and more difficult.
Storage conditions
Do not store oil beyond the stated expiration date. The product will lose not only its taste and aroma characteristics, but also its beneficial properties. Consumption of expired oil is fraught with disruption of the gastrointestinal tract, serious food poisoning and exacerbation of current abdominal pathologies.
There is no need to reinvent the wheel when storing rosehip oil:
- Screw the cap tightly after each use to prevent the liquid from oxidizing and going rancid;
- avoid exposure of the ingredient to ultraviolet rays;
- Due to the special way rose hips are processed, the oil is best stored in the refrigerator;
- The product's sales period does not exceed 6 months.
Storing in the refrigerator will not affect the taste and aroma of the product. The oil does not thicken, oxidize or become excessively hard when exposed to low temperatures.
Contraindications for use
The benefits of rosehip oil are not available to everyone. Some patient groups may be seriously harmed by the seemingly curative component. External use of the ingredient is strictly prohibited for acne, acne and post-acne. Those with oily skin will have to stop their cosmetic experiments, as they can significantly aggravate the situation. The ingredient can be used for dry, normal and combination skin (avoiding application to the T-zone).
Skin problems indicate various problems within the body. The skin, as the largest organ of the human body, cannot hide irregular schedules, lack of sleep, fast food and internal diseases. To restore a healthy tone and natural glow to your face, consult a dermatologist.
Oral use is prohibited for stomach/duodenal ulcers, gastritis and high acidity. The component can cause inflammation, exacerbation of diseases, or transition to a new, more dangerous stage.
Given the high concentration, the product made from rose hips is prohibited for heart failure of the 3rd degree, thrombophlebitis, endocarditis. Phylloquinone is responsible for an increase in blood clotting, which can lead to disastrous consequences.
Before use, be sure to consult a doctor to determine the body’s need for vitamin enrichment, calculate the dosage and duration of therapy. Incorrect (independent) administration is fraught with depression of the pancreatic insular apparatus and the development of withdrawal syndrome.
The oil has received the title of “king of natural oils”, and its properties are very, very diverse. It exhibits anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, tonic, wound-healing, softening and vitaminizing effects.
It is obtained from the seeds of the cinnamon or may rose hips, which belongs to the Rosaceae family.

This species is distributed from the North to the subtropics. This kind of rose hips grows in forests, in ravines, on forest edges, on slopes, and along river banks. Its healing properties have been known since ancient times. Avicenna considered rose hips a cleansing, anti-inflammatory and sedative and prescribed it for throat tumors, hiccups, inflammation of the tonsils, nervous diseases and as an excellent antiemetic.
Rose hips were considered an expensive medicine and were valued as a very effective remedy. Currently, rose hips are valued as a storehouse of important biologically active substances, a beautiful ornamental plant and a source of the most delicate essential oil.
The unique properties of rosehip oil were used back in the 17th century, exclusively in traditional medicine recipes. Later it began to be widely used in the cosmetology field.
Rosehip oil, also called " liquid sun", is made from rosehip seeds by extraction with vegetable fatty oils. The oil production process is quite labor-intensive. First, the seeds of the plant are dried, then they are crushed, and then, through hot extraction, a liquid with an oily structure, a specific aroma, a different color (from golden pink to orange and in some cases brown) and a somewhat bitter taste is extracted. Thanks to this technique, the oil completely retains the properties and healing qualities of the plant. It contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and carotenoids. From the pulp of the fruit, an oil extract of carotenoids is obtained - carotolin is used similarly to rosehip oil.
