Florihana, Organic Rose hip CO2 Extract, 15g

Our Rose hip CO2 extract (Rosa rubiginosa) is 100% pure and natural. It is obtained through supercritical CO2 extraction performed at Florihana. CO2 extraction is a precise and environmentally friendly method used to extract valuable compounds from natural materials. It begins with supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2), which acts as a solvent to dissolve and carry away the desired compounds from plants. After extraction, by adjusting the pressure and temperature, the CO2 returns to a gaseous state, leaving behind the extracted compounds.

Stronger and more distinct aroma than the carrier oil, and a richer hue ranging from orange to reddish due to its higher carotenoid content. Promotes skin regeneration and healing.

HOW TO USE

• Ideal for mature, dry, dehydrated, or irritated skin.
• For dry or fragile hair.
• Can be applied directly to the skin or blended with other carrier oils and essential oils.
• Perfect for inclusion in skincare formulations such as serums, creams, and lotions.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q1: What is Florihana Organic Rosehip CO2 Extract used for?
A: It is a 100% pure, organic facial oil (Rosa rubiginosa) obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction. It promotes skin regeneration and healing, helps fade scars and hyperpigmentation, evens skin tone, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and deeply nourishes mature, dry, dehydrated or irritated skin. It can be applied directly to the skin or blended into serums, creams and lotions.

Q2: Is rosehip oil a natural alternative to retinol?
A: Yes. Rosehip oil naturally contains carotenoids and provitamin A (a source of trans-retinoic acid) that support cell renewal and improve skin texture, offering retinol-like benefits with a gentle, natural profile suitable for sensitive skin.

Q3: Can rosehip oil help reduce scars and stretch marks?
A: Rosehip oil is well known for improving the appearance of scars, acne marks and stretch marks. Its essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) and antioxidants support skin regeneration and keep skin supple as it heals.

Q4: Which skin types is it suitable for?
A: It suits all skin types and is especially beneficial for mature, dry, dehydrated, dull or scar-prone skin. It is also excellent for dry or fragile hair.

Q5: How is the CO2 extract different from regular rosehip carrier oil?
A: The CO2 extract is more concentrated and potent with a richer orange-to-red hue due to its higher carotenoid content and a stronger, more distinct aroma, so a small amount goes a long way.
