Rosa Canina Fruit Extract
A rose hip extract that makers list for conditioning skin.
What it does
It comes from the hips of the dog rose, Rosa canina, a wild rose. Its listed jobs describe what makers intend, not a tested effect on skin.
The EU’s ingredient database lists it as a skin conditioner, its general term for an ingredient that keeps skin in good condition.European Commission, CosIng (© European Union, CC BY 4.0) · uses put in plain words by Drop ↗
The evidence, graded
expert consensusUS safety reviewers (2022) judged 12 dog rose (Rosa canina) ingredients safe as used, in products made not to irritate or cause allergy. The rose hip fruit extract is the most used, at 0.25% or less. A product with 0.0975% of it didn’t irritate 10 people or cause allergy in 110. Two of its components, linalool and eugenol, can cause allergy, so makers should keep their total low.Johnson 2022 · International Journal of Toxicology ↗
