How to Make Rosehip Infused Oil

Rosehip oil

This oil, rich in vitamins omegas, vitamin A and C, so it’s great for topical use to reduce scarring and pigmentation, soften wrinkles, reduce inflammation and increase hydration.
The oil is also works great on dry heals and I use to tame my curly hair when it feels dry.
 
·      ½ cup  dried rose hips (with seeds)
·      1 ½ cups oil (You can use olive oil, jojoba oil or almond oil)
·      A mason jar with lid
 
Place the dried rosehips in the jar and add the oil. If you have any leftover  rosehip seeds from making tea you can add them too which make the oil extra rich in the good properties of the rosehip fruit and seeds. Screw the lid on and put the jar of rosehip oil in a place with low heat for at least four hours, but preferably longer. You can e.g. put the jar a heater, in a sunny window Stir the jar every few hours. You can also slowly heat it up in a water bath. Strain the oil before using.
