Key Features
- CO2 EXTRACT – CO2 extraction is a process using pressurised CO2 gas to extract all botanical materials from a plant, creating a pure, clean, high-quality oil with no residue. CO2 extracts are generally more representative of the original plant material than oils extracted by other means such as steam distillation or solvent extraction, as there is less residue and a purer form of oil results. CO2 extraction is also considered an environmentally sustainable method of oil extraction as it requires low amounts of energy, and the CO2 can be captured and reused over and over again.
- AROMATHERAPY – A herbaceous and herby aroma is offered by Rosehip Seed CO2 Extract and some describe is as a grassy, tea-like scent. We love it blended with Tea Tree, Lavender or Lemon Essential Oils to create a natural, fresh aroma.
- HOW TO USE –Rosehip Seed is a ‘Total’ extract, so it can’t be used for diffusion, but you can still use it in an oil burner to enjoy its aroma. Due to its renowned incredible skin-nourishing benefits, it’s a great addition at a ratio of 1-3% to skincare blends, you may need to gently warm it before use. It’s a great support to skin damaged by sun exposure and environmental factors and is frequently used to improve skin condition and the appearance of scars, blemishes and stretch marks.
- QUALITY – 100% Pure and natural, premium quality CO2 Rosehip Seed Extract. Vegan, GMO-free, cruelty-free, and sustainably sourced from Argentina from the seeds of the Rose plant. From opening, this oil will last up to 2 years. Latin name: Rosa canina.
Rosehip Seed CO2 Extract, Supports Skin Health
An orangey- red coloured fluid. A great oil to use in massage or skincare due to its bountiful active ingredients including Omega 3,6 and 9 oils and vitamins A and E. When used in massage it supports a healthy circulation, softens scar tissue improving the appearance of blemished skin, and leaves it nourished due to its high fatty acid content. It is also a powerful antioxidant.
What is the difference between a CO2 Select and CO2 Total Extract?
Total extracts – These require higher pressure and low temperatures during extraction, with the resultant extract containing a high proportion of compounds such as fatty acids, waxes, resins, and any plant pigments. The oil is similar in nature to a complete extraction of all the Phyto-botanical materials. They are often semi solid or solid and must be gently warmed to use them like a liquid.
Select extracts – Require low pressure and low temperature with the resultant liquid/extract being made up of only volatile material. This method avoids thermal degradation, avoids oxidation and the result can be used like an essential oil. The oil differs from the distilled or solvent extracted version as it can have a very different chemical composition. Select extracts contain between 35% to 95% essential oil along with fatty acids and other fatty substances.
Why is our Rosehip Seed CO2 Extract so unique?
The main difference between CO2 Rosehip Seed Extract and cold-pressed Rosehip oil is the extraction method. CO2 extracts are produced by using CO2 gas under high pressure resulting in a product that has been found to retain more of the plant matter and active plant ingredients, so is even more supportive to skin condition.
To source the best growers and oil and raw material suppliers, we travel the world and only opt for oils from controlled, sustainable sources that have little or no negative impact on the environment. All of our oils are tested for quality and purity in our on-site laboratory here in Hampshire before we approve them for use in our products.
In addition, none of the Absolute Aromas products are tested on animals, and all are vegan and free from GM materials.
How to use
Blend around 3% in a carrier oil such as Sunflower or Jojoba for an amazing treat for the skin. Rub gently over stretch marks or blemishes and enjoy the moment of self-care this affords you. Add a couple of drops to unfragranced skin creams to boost their nourishing qualities or add to an unscented Aloe Gel after sun exposure to support skin repair.
TO NOTE: Do not use in pregnancy or when breastfeeding. Do a patch test 24 hours prior to first use to test for sensitivities and always use diluted at the correct ratio. Not suitable for use on children.
