Harvested in the pristine, high-altitude climate of the Lesotho Highlands, AFRAKARI’s Rosehip Oil is a testament to natural purity and potent efficacy. This luxurious, certified organic elixir is an intensive dermal rehabilitation treatment, renowned for its superior tissue regeneration properties.

- Accelerated Healing: Calms redness, inflammation, and speeds the recovery process for rosacea and sensitive skin conditions.
- Collagen Stimulation: Enhances skin elasticity and firmness for a youthful structural arrangement.
- Pure & Potent: Consciously created without added fragrances, essential oils, or preservatives for the most reactive skin types.
Formulated without harmful chemicals—free from alcohol, synthetic fragrances, artificial dyes, parabens, phthalates, silicones, formaldehyde, mineral oil, PEGs, SLS/SLES. Cruelty-free and never tested on animals.
The Science of Skin Renewal
1. The Vitamin A & C Powerhouse (Natural Brightening)
This oil is naturally rich in the precursors to Retinoic Acid (Vitamin A) and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). This powerful combination brightens the complexion, actively reducing the appearance of pigmentation and sunspots while stimulating robust collagen production for a firmer dermal matrix.
2. Tissue Regeneration Mastery
The high concentration of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids provides excellent tissue regeneration properties. This makes the oil a targeted solution for visibly diminishing the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and textural irregularities.
3. The Dermal Moisture Lock
Luxurious and easily absorbed, this oil is a master of moisture balance. It creates an effective, protective barrier on the skin's surface to lock in hydration, preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and ensuring skin remains supple and bouncy in challenging climates.
How to Use
The Application: Apply twice daily (morning & evening) onto clean skin. Use 2–3 drops and gently massage into the targeted areas.
The Targeted Treatment: Do not apply to broken skin, but massage gently around healed scars or pigmentation spots for intensive healing benefits.
The High-End Boost: For ultra-dry or mature skin (ideal for the Middle East market), follow with the Resurface + Restore Night Cream to seal in the potent vitamins and omegas.

Why Our Rosehip Oil Is Different
A Rare Rose, Not a Common One — We use Rosa Rubiginosa, a wild rose species long treasured for its exceptionally nourishing, skin-renewing properties. Many leading international rosehip brands, including Kosmea, use Rosa Canina (Dog Rose) instead — a different species with a different profile.
Wild-Harvested, Never Farmed — Our rosehips aren't grown in rows on a plantation. They grow freely on the wild slopes of the Maluti Mountains, exactly as nature intended.
Proudly African, Made in Africa — AFRAKARI is a South African company, based in Cape Town. This oil isn't sourced from Africa for someone else's brand — it's made by the people who live closest to where it grows.
Gently Cold-Pressed — No heat. No solvents. Just traditional, careful extraction that protects every drop of the oil's natural goodness.
Real Impact, Every Bottle — Your purchase directly supports the rural communities who hand-harvest these wild rosehips, and the responsible stewardship of the land they grow on.
Rosa Rubiginosa vs. Rosa Canina — The Species Advantage
Both are genuinely good rosehip species with long histories in skincare — this isn't a case of one being poor and the other excellent. But there are real, specific advantages to Rosa Rubiginosa that are worth knowing, alongside an honest look at where Rosa Canina holds its own reputation.
Why Rosa Rubiginosa Stands Out
The original rosehip oil species: Rosa Rubiginosa is the species behind the pioneering Chilean research from the 1980s and 90s that first brought rosehip seed oil to prominence in modern skincare — the species that started it all, not a later substitute.
A naturally rich actives profile: Rosa Rubiginosa seed oil is prized for a particularly full spectrum of naturally occurring skin-renewing compounds, supporting its long-standing reputation for helping with scarring, uneven tone, and skin regeneration.
At home in wild, high-altitude terrain: Rosa Rubiginosa thrives in exactly the kind of rugged, semi-arid highland environment found in the Maluti Mountains — meaning our wild-harvested sourcing and our species are a natural fit, not a compromise.
Rare by comparison: Rosa Rubiginosa is far less widely cultivated globally than Rosa Canina, making genuine, wild-harvested Rosa Rubiginosa oil a comparatively uncommon find in the global rosehip oil market.
AFRAKARI is choosing Rosa Rubiginosa over the more commonly used Rosa Canina wasn't the easy or the cheap option — it's rarer, harder to source at scale, and reflects a deliberate choice for quality and heritage over convenience. That's a genuine point of difference worth telling stockists and partners, even if it isn't a claim that one species is universally "better" than the other.
The Compounds Behind the Claims
For trade conversations where more specific detail is useful, here are the real, oil-soluble compounds naturally present in cold-pressed Rosa Rubiginosa seed oil:
Vitamin E (Tocopherols) — a genuine, naturally occurring oil-soluble antioxidant.
Beta-Carotene and Lycopene — the natural carotenoid pigments that give the oil its characteristic orange colour, and which convert to vitamin A activity on the skin. This is the real mechanism behind rosehip oil's vitamin A reputation.
Essential Fatty Acids — linoleic acid (omega-6), alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), and oleic acid (omega-9), the core of the oil's nourishing, barrier-supporting profile.
