Rosehip Seed Oil

Rosehip Seed Oil is the bloom after fire. The rosehip is what the wild rose leaves behind when its petals fall: proof that something beautiful remains. In the Apothecary, it represents renewal, remembrance, and the beauty that grows from what we have survived.

In Pete & Geneva, rosehips steep in oil on the back of the stove for Grandma Geneva's balm.

Rosehip Seed Oil is pressed from the tiny seeds inside the rosehip, the bright red-orange fruit that a wild rose leaves behind after its petals fall. Most rosehip oil comes from wild roses that grow across the Andes Mountains of Chile, where the fruit is gathered by hand at the end of summer.

Rosehip Seed Oil is a lightweight, golden oil valued in skincare for its silky feel and the radiant, healthy-looking glow it leaves behind. Its natural color ranges from pale gold to a warm amber-orange, which comes from the carotenoids in the fruit, the same natural pigments that give carrots and pumpkins their color.

It helps lotions and balms feel nourishing without heaviness. Rosehip oil is considered a "dry" oil, which means it sinks in quickly and leaves little residue. That makes it a favorite for face oils and for anyone who wants their skin to look and feel cared for without feeling greasy.

Because rosehip oil is delicate, it is best stored away from heat and light, and it is often blended with more stable oils so it stays fresh. In our formulas, a little rosehip goes a long way, adding a quiet radiance and a sense of luxury to products made for everyday care.

It is the wild rose's gift, carried from the Andes into your daily ritual.
