Where it comes from and how it’s made

Common questions
- Is Rosehip Seed Oil the same as Rose Essential Oil?
No — they come from entirely different parts of the rose plant. The seed oil is pressed from rosehips, while rose essential oil is distilled from petals.
- Is Rosehip Seed Oil vegan?
Yes — it’s a plant-derived oil with no animal inputs.
- Why is Rosehip Seed Oil orange?
Its natural colour comes from pigments present in the rosehip seed itself.
