Nature's Retinol and the Power of Rosehip Oil

When it comes to skincare, few ingredients have gained as much attention as retinol. Known for its anti-aging benefits, retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A and has been a go-to for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and improving skin texture.


However, there’s a more natural alternative found in the beauty world: Vitamin A in its natural form, specifically from rosehip oil, which is one of the key ingredients in Wonder Serum.

What is Retinol?

Retinol is a synthetic form of Vitamin A commonly used in skincare to stimulate collagen production, increase cell turnover, and promote smoother, more youthful skin. It helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sun damage.


However, it can often cause irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin, as it can be harsh and lead to redness, peeling, or dryness.

Rosehip Oil: Nature's Retinol

Rosehip oil, which is extracted from the seeds of the wild rose bush (Rosa canina), is a plant-based source of natural Vitamin A. It provides all the benefits of synthetic retinol but without the irritating side effects.


The oil is packed with pro-vitamin A compounds, including beta-carotene and retinoic acid, which contribute to the regenerative properties of the skin.

Benefits of Rosehip Oil as a Natural Retinol:

  1. Stimulates Collagen Production

    Just like synthetic retinol, the Vitamin A in rosehip oil helps stimulate collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.


  2. Improves Skin Tone and Texture

    Vitamin A encourages cell turnover, leading to smoother skin and a more even tone. This makes it great for reducing the appearance of scars, hyper-pigmentation, and sun spots.


  3. Hydrates and Nourishes

    Unlike synthetic retinol, rosehip oil also contains essential fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6, which deeply hydrate the skin and provide anti-inflammatory benefits.


  4. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles

    The retinoic acid found in rosehip oil works similarly to synthetic retinol by helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, making your skin appear more youthful and radiant.


  5. Gentle on Sensitive Skin

    One of the standout benefits of rosehip oil is its gentleness. While retinol can cause irritation, rosehip oil offers the same benefits without the harsh side effects, making it suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin.

Why We Chose Rosehip Oil for Blom's Wonder Serum

We believe in harnessing the power of natural ingredients that offer maximum benefits without compromising your skin’s health. Rosehip oil was an obvious choice for us because of its ability to deliver all the regenerative and anti-aging benefits of retinol, but in a much gentler, more nourishing form.


A long with Rosehip, we have also included Castor oil and Blackseed oil, which are packed with additional benefits.


Rosehip oil also contains Vitamin C, an antioxidant that works in tandem with Vitamin A to brighten skin and protect it from environmental stressors. These combined properties make rosehip oil a multitasking powerhouse that addresses everything from dryness and scarring to fine lines and pigmentation.

How to Use Rosehip Oil in Your Routine

Incorporating rosehip oil into your skincare routine is easy. It’s best to use after cleansing and toning your face, and before applying your moisturizer. The oil helps lock in moisture while delivering potent vitamins to the skin. For best results, use rosehip oil at night when your skin naturally regenerates.


For those already using Wonder Serum, rosehip oil is a key ingredient that works alongside other nutrient-rich oils to provide all-in-one care for your skin’s health and vitality.
