Functions
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Tonic
Evens pigmentation
Antioxidant protection
Accelerates skin healing
Traditional Use
Rose hip has been used in traditional European and indigenous South American medicine for centuries for skin regeneration and wound healing. It became popular in 20th-century skincare for its vitamin A and antioxidant content.
