Lesotho’s finest: Rosehip seed oil

Phyto-Fabulous Glow-Up Secret

Say hello to Nature Study Skincare’s Rosehip Seed Oil—straight from the rugged, sun-soaked highlands of Lesotho, where nature’s been perfecting its glow game for eons. This isn’t just any oil; it’s a biological badass, packed with phyto-power, ready to transform your skin into a canvas of radiance. Let’s dive into why this golden elixir deserves a VIP spot in your routine—science and sass included.

Rosehip vs. Rose oil

Rosehips, which are sometimes called the fruit of the plant, are round or oval shaped and usually orange or bright coral-red. Rosehips are the seed-filled bulbs that grow at the base of the blossom of a wild rose called Rosa eglanteria / rubiginosa / canina. Rose oil is extracted from the petals of the rose plant and is known for its fragrance and soothing properties, while rosehip oil is derived from the fruit and seeds, offering benefits like hydration and anti-aging effects. Both oils have unique skincare advantages, with rosehip oil generally being more beneficial for skin health. According to Aromatherapy.com, “The main attribute that makes Rosa rubiginosa stand out against Rosa Canina is its Trans-Retinoic Acid content. This natural active is what Rosa rubiginosa is famed for… It’s a natural derivative of Vitamin A that helps the skin to repair and push fresh cells to the epidermis.” (Rosa Canina vs Rosa Rubiginosa; 2025)

Lesotho’s Finest: Where It All Begins

Tucked away in Southern Africa, Lesotho’s mountainous terrain isn’t just a postcard-worthy backdrop—it’s the birthplace of our rosehip seed oil. Hand-harvested by local families from the wild Rosa rubiginosa (fancy, right?), these rosehips thrive in Lesotho’s pristine air and mineral-rich soil. The result? An oil that’s as pure as it gets, cold-pressed to preserve every drop of its biomimetic brilliance. It’s like bottling up nature’s own skincare lab. (About Rosehip farm; 2025)

Skin Benefits That Slap (Scientifically Speaking)

This isn’t your average oil—it’s a phyto-phenomenon. Rosehip seed oil is loaded with essential fatty acids (think omega-3 and omega-6) that mimic your skin’s natural lipids, making it a biomimetic dream for barrier repair. Got dryness? Scars? Fine lines creeping in? This oil’s got you. Here’s the breakdown:

• Antioxidant Overload: Vitamin C and beta-carotene roll up like a superhero squad, neutralizing free radicals that try to crash your skin’s party. Translation: less oxidative stress, more youthful vibes.
• Collagen’s BFF: The vitamin A (retinol’s chill cousin) in rosehip oil whispers sweet nothings to your fibroblasts—those cells churning out collagen and elastin. Wrinkles? They’re shook.
• Hydration Station: Linoleic acid dives deep, locking in moisture without clogging pores. Oily skin? Dry skin? Combo chaos? It’s a universal flex.
• Scar Slayer: Studies—like one from the Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications—show rosehip oil’s knack for fading hyperpigmentation and smoothing acne scars. Thank the phytochemical magic.

Why It’s a Vibe

This oil isn’t just about results; it’s a whole mood. It’s lightweight, absorbs like a dream, and leaves you with that “I woke up like this” glow—minus the filter. Plus, knowing it’s sustainably sourced from Lesotho’s wild rosehips? That’s a flex for your skin and the planet. It’s skincare with a passport and a purpose.

How to Werk It

Slather a few drops on clean skin—morning or night, your call. Pair it with a moisturizer if you’re feeling extra, or let it ride solo for that dewy, “I’m thriving” finish. Pro tip: Massage it in with intention, sculpting contours. Your skin deserves the spa moment.
