Rosa Canina Seed Oil is a plant oil that is one of the two main oils sold as "rosehip oil".
It's a lightweight emollient that's especially high in fatty acids like linoleic acid (~54%), linoleic acid (~19%), plus some oleic. The exact percentages vary quite a bit by species, region, and growing conditions.
These fatty acids make it a solid choice for supporting the skin barrier and softening skin.
On the evidence front, a 2024 review on postsurgical scarring found this ingredient to be safe with benefits for scar redness, texture, and pigmentation. It's worth noting the human data is still limited and more trials are needed so it's reasonable to be optimistic but not expect miracles.
This ingredient has been found safe in current practices of use and concentration, with the only caveat that it could contain fragrance allergens (linalool and eugenol).
Fungal acne: The fatty acids of this oil fall into the C11-24 range that Malassezia yeast can metabolize, so this ingredient may not be fungal acne safe.
