Ingredients Explained
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.

Pomegranates are rich in fatty acids, including an unsaturated fatty acid by the name of Punicic acid. Other components of pomegranates include Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and bioactive lipids such as phytosterols, phospholipids, and triterpenes. Punicic acid helps soothe inflammation.
As an emollient, pomegranate oil creates a thin film on the skin. This film helps prevent moisture loss, keeping your skin hydrated.
Learn more about Punica Granatum Seed OilJojoba oil is one of the most well-studied plant-derived ingredients in cosmetics. It is an emollient with a special structure.
Because it is made up of 97-98% wax esters, it closely mirrors the linear monoesters found in human sebum. This makes it skin compatible, non-greasy, and lightweight.
Unlike other plant oils, jojoba wax doesn't easily penetrate skin. It mostly works in the uppermost layers as an emollient. This just means it forms a light barrier on the skin to help retain moisture.
Formulations with jojoba esters up to 90% reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and increased barrier recovery by 81% (outperforming bisabolol at 47%).
Besides barrier support, the science also suggests jojoba to have anti-inflammatory effects and potential applications for skin infections, aging, and wound healing.
Fun fact: Indigenous cultures have used jojoba as a moisturizer and to help treat burns for centuries.
Fungal acne: The Malassezia yeast is known to metabolize fatty acids in the C11-24 range and jojoba's dominant fatty acid components fall into this range. This ingredient may not be fungal acne safe.
