๐ฟ Introduction Rosehip COโ Extract (Aroma) is a delicate, warm, and slightly fruity essence extracted from the seeds of wild rose species ( Rosa canina and Rosa rubiginosa ) using supercritical COโ extraction . This advanced method preserves the natural scent and vital actives of the rosehip โ capturing both its gentle sweetness and earthy depth . Its aroma is soft, nutty, and faintly reminiscent of dried rose petals and fresh fruit skins , evoking calm and natural beauty.
