Frequently Asked Questions

What is rose hip seed oil used for in formulations?

Rose hip seed oil (CAS 84696-47-9) is a fixed vegetable oil pressed from the seeds of Rosa species, rich in unsaturated fatty acids. It is supplied as an emollient and carrier oil for cosmetic and personal-care products, used in facial oils, serums, balms, and as the oil phase of emulsions.

Is rose hip seed oil water-soluble?

No. It is a fixed (non-volatile) vegetable oil and is oil-soluble; it is incorporated into the oil phase of formulations, not water-based systems. Because it is high in unsaturated fatty acids it is oxidation-prone, so antioxidants and controlled storage are typical.

What is rose hip seed oil made from?

It is cold-pressed or expressed from the seeds (achenes) found inside the rose hip, the fruit of Rosa species. The result is a triglyceride oil characterized by a high content of unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and linolenic acids.

What grades and packaging are available for bulk rose hip seed oil?

Carrier oils of this type are commonly offered as cold-pressed and/or refined, and in some cases organic-certified, with packaging from pails to drums and totes. Confirm the available grade, certification, and fatty-acid profile on the CoA when requesting a quote.

What is the cost of bulk rose hip seed oil?

As a botanical oil, pricing tracks crop, grade (cold-pressed vs refined, conventional vs organic), and order volume, so it is quoted per lot rather than as a fixed price. Submit a bulk RFQ with your target quantity and grade for a current quote with CoA and SDS.
