Rosehip seed oil is one of the most valuable plant oils for natural skincare and is also an interesting oil to include in the diet. Zdravnitza Rosehip Seed Oil is 100% pure oil from rosehip seeds (Rosa canina L.), obtained by cold pressing, with no other vegetable oils added.
The oil is distinguished by its naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acids, including linoleic, oleic and alpha-linolenic acids, as well as its naturally occurring tocopherols (vitamin E). This composition makes it suitable for a wide range of uses, both for direct consumption and as a natural oil for the face and body.
Zdravnitza Rosehip Seed Oil can be used in two ways:
- for direct consumption and use in foods;
- for direct application to the skin of the face and body and for making homemade cosmetics.
What does rosehip seed oil contain?
The value of rosehip seed oil lies primarily in its natural fatty acid profile. Zdravnitza Rosehip Seed Oil contains:
Linoleic acid:
A polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid that naturally forms part of the skin's lipids. Its presence is one of the reasons rosehip seed oil is so popular in products designed for the care of dry, normal and mature skin.
Oleic acid:
A monounsaturated fatty acid characteristic of many plant oils. It contributes to the pleasant texture of the oil and its easy application to the skin.
Alpha-linolenic acid:
A polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid that naturally occurs in rosehip seed oil and complements its rich fatty acid profile.
Palmitic acid:
A saturated fatty acid that naturally occurs in rosehip seed oil.
Stearic acid:
Another naturally occurring saturated fatty acid that forms part of the overall composition of the oil.
Rosehip seed oil and vitamin E:
Zdravnitza Rosehip Seed Oil naturally contains tocopherols - a form of vitamin E. Vitamin E is an important antioxidant that contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
When used as a cosmetic oil, the naturally occurring tocopherols are one of the valuable characteristics of rosehip seed oil. Combined with unsaturated fatty acids, they make it a valuable natural ingredient for serums, facial oils and other products designed for everyday skincare.
Benefits of rosehip seed oil for external use:
Rosehip seed oil is particularly popular as a facial oil, but it can also be used on the skin of the body. It has a light, pleasant texture and spreads easily, making it convenient for direct application.
For dry skin
Rosehip seed oil can be used as part of the daily care routine for dry and dehydrated skin. Applying it helps maintain a soft, smooth and comfortable feeling.
For the face and neck
A few drops of rosehip seed oil can be applied to clean skin on the face, neck and décolleté. It is suitable for use on its own or as part of an evening skincare routine.
For mature skin
Rosehip seed oil is particularly popular in mature skin care. Its content of unsaturated fatty acids and naturally occurring tocopherols makes it suitable for products designed to help maintain smooth, soft and supple-looking skin.
For supporting the skin barrier
Lipids in plant oils can complement the skin's lipid care. Rosehip seed oil is suitable for inclusion in a skincare routine when the skin needs additional nourishing and emollient care.
For hands and body
It can be applied directly to dry areas of the hands, elbows, knees and other parts of the body where the skin needs additional lipid care.
Rosehip seed oil for the face - how to use it?
For daily care, apply 2-4 drops to clean skin on the face and neck and gently massage until absorbed. It is particularly suitable for use in the evening or whenever the skin needs additional care and comfort.
Rosehip seed oil can be used on its own or after a water-based product such as a hydrating serum. When combining it with a cream, you can add a few drops to the amount of cream you use for a single application.
Rosehip seed oil for homemade cosmetics:
One of the great advantages of pure rosehip seed oil is that it can be used not only on its own, but also as a plant-based oil ingredient in homemade cosmetics.
It can be incorporated into homemade serums, facial oils, body oils and oil-based masks. Since the product is a pure oil and contains no water, it is particularly convenient for preparing small batches of anhydrous cosmetic blends.

Important when making homemade cosmetics: Use clean, dry containers and utensils. Prepare small batches and do not add water, hydrosols or other water-based ingredients to these oil-based recipes without an appropriate preservation system and safety assessment. Before first use, apply a small amount to a limited area of skin.
Rosehip seed oil for internal use:
Zdravnitza Rosehip Seed Oil can also be used as a plant-based oil in the diet. It is suitable for direct consumption or for adding to a variety of foods and beverages.
Thanks to its naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acids, the oil is an interesting choice for people who want to include a variety of plant oils in their daily diet.
Rosehip seed oil can be consumed directly or added to water, juice, yoghurt, smoothies, salads and other cold foods. Thanks to its characteristic plant-based flavour, it can also be used as part of homemade salad dressings.
Important: When using the oil in food, it is recommended to avoid prolonged heating, as high temperatures may affect the unsaturated fatty acids and naturally occurring components of the oil.
An idea for everyday use in the diet:
Rosehip seed oil with yoghurt: Add a small amount of rosehip seed oil to natural yoghurt and mix well. It can be combined with fruit, oats or seeds for a nutritious breakfast.
Rosehip seed oil salad dressing: Mix rosehip seed oil with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar and seasonings of your choice. You will have an easy homemade dressing that allows the oil to be included in your daily diet without heat treatment.
