About
Rosehip flower powder — a vitamin C and polyphenol-rich botanical with mild antioxidant and soothing effects. Long, broadly accepted use in skincare.
Rosa canina flower powder is milled from the dried blossoms of the dog rose. Chemically it contributes ascorbic acid, flavonoids, and organic acids, functioning as an antioxidant and mild skin-conditioning additive, typically at 0.1-2%. Listed in EU CosIng; related Rosa canina fruit extracts have supportive safety documentation in industry dossiers. Cosmetic use is long-established; rose-derived materials can carry fragrance allergens (geraniol, citronellol) at trace levels, which formulators should declare if above EU thresholds. Oxidation of the ascorbic fraction is the main stability consideration. No IARC classification, no GHS hazard pictograms for the powder.
