Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Extract

We look for thisReviewed September 30, 2026

Rosehip Fruit Extract · Rosa Canina Extract · Rosehip Extract · Dog Rose Extract

An extract of the rosehip fruit, the berry the wild rose leaves behind. One of the richest plant sources of vitamin C, plus carotenoids and polyphenols.

What it does
Antioxidant
Our take
We use it in moisturose for the antioxidant load. The fruit extract is the water-soluble part of the plant, so it brings vitamin C and carotenoids without the oil, and it layers under everything else without weight. Gentle enough for teen skin and for sensitive skin, which is the whole reason it earned the slot over a stronger brightener.
Suitable from
Tween, 8+ · Teen, 13+ · Young adult, 20+ · Middle aged, 40+
Best for
Dark marks & dullness · Barrier repair · Aging & firmness
Skin types
Any skin · Dry · Combination · Sensitive · Blemish-prone
Can it clog pores
Low risk. It is not on the acne clinics' pore-clogging lists. This flag is for the face only, it does not apply to body, hair or home care.
