Rosehip oil is extremely high in essential fatty acids and is known to help treat dry, irritated, weathered skin. It is also suitable for treating burns, scars and stretch marks.
Rosehip oil is becoming popular with massage therapists for its skin healing properties, though it is typically in dilution with another oil such as almond oil which makes for a better massage oil (10% recommended).
