What The Ordinary Says
Product Description:
100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rosehip Seed Oil naturally hydrates skin to help address signs of aging by brightening and balancing uneven skin tone, supporting skin elasticity, and promoting supple, more radiant-looking skin. It’s made of 100% organic rosehip seed oil that is cold-pressed to retain its potency and is gentle enough for daily use. The Ordinary's Rose Hip Seed Oil is completely unrefined and imparts a natural scent partly due to its high omega fatty acid content. This scent is not an indication of rancidity.
