The Secret Behind Rose Hip Oil
In December 1988 two doctors published their investigations in a document named Contributions to Identification and Application of Active Components Contained in Rosa Aff. Rubiginosa. The authors were Dr Bertha Pareja, Principal Professor, Faculty of Pharmacology and Biochemistry, University of San Marcos, Lima, Peru and Dr Horst KehI, from the School of Pharmacology of the University of Missouri, Kansas City, Missouri, USA. Dr KehI collaborated in the study in his capacity of Visiting Professor at the San Marcos installations.
The beneficial effect of Rose Hip Oil in helping to regenerate flawed skin tissues was first attributed to its elevated content of unsaturated essential fatty acids, specially oleic (15-20%), linoleic (44-50%) and linolenic (30-35%). They are named "essential" because our body is not able to synthesize them.
Although these acids are important to maintain a healthy skin (when taken internally), for they are part of the cellular membrane and promoters of prostaglandine/leucotriens (their activity is hormone-like), giving tissue-regenerating and rejuvenating effects, their presence did not establish enough scientific evidence to explain the abilities of "Rosa Mosqueta" in minimizing surgical and accidental skin scars or to eliminate certain hyperpigmented spots and reduce wrinkles.
Dr. Berta Pareja and Dr. Horst Kehl, positively recognized the presence of Trans-Retinoic acid as the component responsible for the extraordinary pharmacological abilities of Rose Hip Oil. Trans-Retinoic acid is a by-product of Retinol (Vitamin A) and is known as Tretinoin.
The therapeutic effects of the topical use of Tretinoin, in the treatment of several dermatology disorders, have been well-researched and recognized for nearly 30 years. The most significant results have been reached in the therapy of photo-aged skin - skin injured by exaggerated exposure to sunlight. Tretinoin can produce quick and beneficial changes in the skin, but because it is a highly strong element, it must be used under medical surveillance.
Rose Hip Oil produces the benefits of Tretinoin, but without undesired consequences, because the Trans-Retinoic Acid contained in it is in a natural state as part of an intricate system of unsaturated fatty acids. Therefore, its effect is regulated and slowly released by nature, avoiding the risk of overdoses.
The findings of Dr. Pareja and Dr. Kehl have helped to avail Rose Hip Oil in the market, boosting the promotion of this great product.
Scars are a permanent visible reminder of an important event in a person's life and can be a memento of an unhappy or bad experience. Though there are many different techniques to lessen the visibility of scar tissues, including cosmetic surgery, pressure garments the application of locally injected steroids and silicone gel sheets, Rose Hip Oil offers a simple, inexpensive, non-invasive alternative for greatly diminishing disfiguring scars.
Scars become lighter and less prominent with continued daily use; scars, pits and imperfections (even such acne scars). The area of scar treatment is one where Rose Hip Oil has had tremendous success.
BIOSKINBALM is a natural treatment that contains rose hip oil to treat old scars. Get rid of acne scars, skin discolorations and dry skin thanks to a new skin care solution elaborated with natural ingredients that regenerate your skin.
