Roast Vegetable Summer Salad

The benefits of Rose Hip Oil
The use of Rosehip Oil for the skin and hair, dates back to ancient times. The Egyptians and Romans understood the powerful restorative and regeneration properties of this potent oil.
- Rosehip Oil is rich in Omega 3 and 6, essential fatty acids that the body cannot produce itself, relying on external sources. Essential fatty acids are needed to repair damaged skin tissue and regenerate skin cells.
- Rosehip Oil is rich in vitamin A, shown to help prevent premature ageing caused by sun exposure and ageing. When skin is exposed to the sun, it can increase levels of enzymes that lead to the breakdown of collagen and elastin.
- Rosehip oil contains antioxidants, including beta-carotene and lycopene. Antioxidants are micronutrients that protect tissues in the body from the damaging effects of free radicals.
- Rosehip Oil has anti-inflammatory properties to aid in wound healing and reduce inflammation in the body.
