Rosehip seed extract – regenerating cell protection for mature & sensitive skin
CO₂-extracted rosehip seed extract with vitamin C, provitamin A & omega fatty acids strengthens the skin structure & promotes regeneration in sensitive skin.
Introduction / Brief description
Rosehip seed extract (INCI: Rosa Canina Seed Extract ) is a rare CO₂ extract from the seeds of the wild rose. It contains an exceptionally high concentration of bioavailable vitamin C, provitamin A (beta-carotene), gamma-linolenic acid, and antioxidant flavonoids. The combination of these active ingredients makes the extract ideal for smoothing, regenerating, and soothing sensitive or mature skin – all without a greasy residue.
Origin & Production
The rosehip seed extract used by myrto comes from certified organic cultivation and is obtained from the delicate seeds of the wild rose ( Rosa canina ) using a solvent-free CO₂ extraction process . This gentle method preserves the delicate lipids, vitamins, and secondary plant substances in their natural, highly effective form.
Effect on skin
Regenerating & antioxidant
Vitamin C stimulates the formation of collagen fibers in the connective tissue and strengthens the skin's structure. Provitamin A and polyunsaturated fatty acids promote cell renewal, smooth rough patches, and make the skin soft, elastic, and resilient—ideal for mature, light-damaged, or scarred skin.
Sebum-regulating & skin-soothing
Rosehip seed oil regulates sebum production and has anti-inflammatory properties. It can balance pigmentation disorders and is recommended for acne, atopic dermatitis, itching, or dry, flaky skin. The texture absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling silky smooth without a greasy residue.

- Facial oils & regenerating serums
