Rose Hip Oil

Back in the 1970ties began the investigation of the properties of Coesam Rose Hip Oil (Valladares J, Carvajal F,: Anales de la real Academiade Farmacia; Instituto de Espana. 1985, Vol 51(2), 327-332). The unique skin care properties of this oil are believed to be due to the high content of essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Among the antioxidants found, trans-retinoic acid (vitamin A in its natural form) is believed to be especially important (Pareja, B. Kehl H: Anales de la real Academiade Farmacia; Instituto de Espana 1990, Vol 56(2), 283-294).

The properties of the oil is currently being investigated by Fundacion Coesam
