Red Rose Buds & Petals – Dried

Rose Hips (Rosa canina) are the naturally dried fruit of wild roses and are valued for their impressive nutrient profile. They contain a high concentration of vitamin C along with vitamins A, E, and D, making them a powerhouse ingredient for skincare and cosmetic applications. Their rich antioxidant content helps support brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin, which is why rose hips are often included in formulas aimed at anti-aging, hydration, and skin repair.

In cosmetic use, rose hips offer versatility. They can be ground and added to soap recipes to provide gentle exfoliation, a natural rosy tone, and additional skin-loving benefits. When infused, the extract can be incorporated into lotions, creams, ointments, shampoos, conditioners, and herbal waters. These infusions help bring restorative qualities to the final product by supporting skin elasticity, evening the complexion, and promoting a soft, nourished feel. Facial mask formulations also benefit from rose hip powder or infusion, as it helps brighten dull skin and supports an overall healthy glow.

Beyond skincare, whole dried rose hips are a favorite in home and craft applications. They can be added to potpourri blends for a natural, warm, and subtly floral aesthetic. In candle-making, rose hips serve as a decorative element. While they should not be added directly to burning candle wax, they can be placed in hurricane candle shells, used in wax tarts that are not burned, or arranged around pillar candles as natural décor.

Rose hips also blend well into herbal bath teas, adding a gentle aroma and a skin-softening touch to warm baths. Infused in massage oils, they help deliver a nourishing base that is both soothing and rich in antioxidants.

Sourced from India, these whole rose hips offer a natural, unrefined botanical ingredient suitable for handcrafted cosmetics, herbal products, and artisanal creations. If you want this adapted for e-commerce, labels, or Amazon-style listings, I can format it accordingly.
