Rosehip fruit powder organic

Master plant: Rosa canina L.
Rosaceae (Rose Family)
INCI: PINK CANINA

Origin:

The probable home of wild rose (rosehip) is Chile and southeastern Europe. Today, the rosehip shrubs, which grow up to 4 m high, are cultivated throughout Europe as well as in the temperate zones of South America. Rosehips are the fruit bunches of roses that emerge from the flowers. The wild fruits (rose hips) come from the shrubs of the common dog rose (Rosa canina) and the Kamchatka (Rosa rugosa).

The depilated and pitted pulp is gently dried at temperatures of up to 40 degrees so that the valuable ingredients are preserved. The rose hip powder is made from it.

Properties and ingredients:

In addition to minerals, trace elements, pectins, fruit acids and tannins, rosehip contains many vitamins, most notably vitamin C, whose content is 20 times higher than the vitamin C content of a lemon. The most important ingredient, however, is the active ingredient glactolipid.
