The Rose hip The Rose hip (Rosa affinis rubiginosa) is a wild plant with an oriental origin, well known in Europe from many centuries. It was not valued neither for their flower, neither for their fruit; but for their thorns was used as a natural barrier against the intruders. With this function was taken to South America by spaniels, where it found ideal climatic conditions. It adapted and occupied each sunny place, expelling and killing other species, with the collaboration of ruminants and birds that spread them after their ingest. Now we found it as a plague in the Patagonic Andean region, and in other regions of the country. Its orange-reddish fruit is marketed in different forms and every time in a bigger scale from the seventy of last century, when started the studies about chemical composition of the oil obtains from seeds of this fruit. In those investigations, was made a clinic study based on the rose hip oil regenerative properties, in 180 patients with surgical scars, burns and others affections that caused premature skin aging. The application of rose hip oil helped in an effective way to attenuate scars and wrinkles and to prevent the skin aging. The high content in fatty acids confers to rose hip oil specific properties on differents parts of dermal tissue, skin. The pure rose hip oil extracted by cold pressed, has 95% of fatty acids, as palmitic, stearic, linolenic, linoleic,oleic, considered as essential. It also contains a great quantity of vitamin C, retinoic acid, carotenoids, flavanone, pectins, polyphenols, rivoflavin, etc. The acids contains in rose hip oil are known as vitamin F, they are essential fatty acids from the serie omega-6. They are responsible direct in the formation of prostaglandines, necessary for the answer and control of the inmunologic system. Also, the linolenic and linoleic acid are directly related with the synthesis of collagen that regulates the mechanisms of cellular growth and tissues regeneration. In fact, people that suffer of skin and dry hair present a systematic lack of these acids. Rose hip oil acts at different levels of the skin, it offers elasticity to the skin , it performes superficial hydration because it acts on a natural factor of humidification, reinforces and multiplies ceramides barriers inside epidermal, it reduces the loss of water of the skin because its deep penetration, it produces dermal changes that benefit deep hydration, the place, where wrinkles are produce. It helps general skin hydration activing the three barriers. Another important effect of rose hip oil is the capacity to reinforce fibroblast the dermal cell that produce collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and is direct responsible of the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Rose hip oil gives excellent results in treatment of post-pelling, scars, surgical scars, burns, stretch marks, wrinkles and any other damage on the skin which requieres efficiently and quickly regeneration. Its use is recomended in smokers because of the high content in vitamin C. It also prevents and corrects photo-aging, it helps to correct pigmentation giving an uniform skin colour. At the present time, are studying the effect of rose hip oil to prevent and combat cellulitis, because it makes more resistance conective tissue. Rose hip oil has not toxic effect like other vegetable oils, thanks to its pH 5.1 which is compatibly and
healthy for the skin. In conclusion, the properties of rose hip oil are fabulous and who benefits from its use can verify it. When the rose hip oil is more pure, like the oil obtain by cold press, the action of the product is potently.
