What Is Rosehip Seed Oil
Nature's plant-based vitamin A — a key pillar of Youth Alchemy
Nature's vitamin A powerhouse — and a key pillar of Youth Alchemy
Rosehip seed oil is cold-pressed from the seeds inside rosehips — the fruit of wild roses (Rosa canina and related species). It is one of the richest natural plant sources of vitamin A, the nutrient skin loves for a smooth, renewed-looking surface.
Why rosehip is in Youth Alchemy
When formulating Youth Alchemy, rosehip seed oil was chosen specifically for its natural vitamin A content. Paired with bakuchiol, it gives Youth Alchemy a layered, plant-based take on retinol: bakuchiol is the natural retinol alternative, and rosehip contributes plant-based vitamin A.
What rosehip oil does for your skin
- Natural vitamin A content — provitamin A (beta-carotene) and other carotenoids
- Helps improve the look of skin tone and texture
- Helps even the look of dark spots and uneven tone
- Rich in vitamin C — known for a brightening, radiant look
- Essential fatty acids — linoleic and linolenic acids, which support the skin barrier
- Non-comedogenic — does not clog pores
Why cold-pressed organic rosehip matters
The vitamin content of rosehip seed oil is fragile — degraded by heat, light, and time. Tau Tau Skin uses only organic, cold-pressed rosehip seed oil, stored and formulated in small batches to preserve potency.
