What is this
Rosehip Oil
Rosehip oil is a botanical oil obtained from the fruit of Rosa canina, the wild dog rose. Naturally rich in linoleic and linolenic acids with naturally occurring pro-vitamin A, it is used in skincare to help smooth the look of fine lines and support a more even, glowing appearance.
Where is it found
Shizuoka, Japan
In the Japanese countryside, wild rose hedgerows turn scarlet as autumn deepens. The hips are left to ripen fully on the branch before they are gathered — a patient, season-led harvest that mirrors Japan's unhurried approach to beauty.

Questions about rosehip oil
What does rosehip oil do for your face?
Rosehip oil nourishes, smooths and revives radiance. Rich in linoleic and linolenic acids with naturally occurring pro-vitamin A, it helps improve the look of elasticity, soften the appearance of fine lines and support a more even, glowing complexion — without a heavy, greasy feel.
Does rosehip oil help with the look of dark spots and marks?
It can help visibly. Studies have explored rosehip oil's effect on the appearance of marks and uneven colour, and its fatty acids and natural pro-vitamin A support the look of a more uniform tone. Improvements are gradual and cosmetic, best seen with consistent use.
Is rosehip oil good for acne-prone skin?
Generally yes. It is a dry, fast-absorbing oil, high in linoleic acid and considered unlikely to clog pores, which makes it one of the more suitable botanical oils for blemish-prone skin. As always, observe how your own skin responds.
Does rosehip oil contain retinol?
Not retinol itself. Rosehip oil naturally contains small amounts of pro-vitamin A compounds — carotenoids — which is why it is often described as nature's gentle answer to retinol. Its effect on the skin is milder and cosmetic.
Can I use rosehip oil every day?
Yes — it is gentle enough for daily use, morning or night, and suits all skin types including dry, dull or mature skin. In The Nine Aurora's formulas it is expertly blended for balance, so it layers cleanly with other products.
