SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ROSE HIP OIL
Although the Indians Patagonian rosehip used to maintain
youthful skin, heal wounds and treat various ailments the therapeutic
properties of its oil were officially "discovered" only thirty years
ago thanks to a study by the School of Chemistry and Pharmacology the
University of Concepcion in Chile and the results were astounding. It was noted
that the continued application of the oil of this plant effectively helping to
attenuate scars and wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin in almost 200 patients
with scars caused by surgery, burns, and other conditions that caused premature
aging, and all this without causing adverse reactions or side effects.
Obviously this interesting work has been followed by many
others over the three decades that have achieved the intended contrast
properties of this plant. Not to make the list too long will mention only some
of the institutions that have conducted research on rosehip oil: Department of
Dermatology, University of Munich (Germany), Kingston University (UK) , the
Mayo Clinic (USA), the University Hospital of Geneva (Switzerland), Central
Michigan University (USA), the University of Wales (UK), the University of
Milan (Italy), the hospital University of Helsinki (Finland) and the National
Cancer Institute of the United States, among many others worldwide.
Well, the conclusion reached by the researchers is that the
therapeutic benefits of this oil that reside in its interesting nutritional
composition, rich-as mentioned-fatty acids and vitamins. Thus, for example, has
a high content of linoleic acid (about 45% of its composition) and linolenic
acid (about 30%), essential fatty acids and polyunsaturated that confer
flexibility to the permeability of cell membranes and are directly related to
the synthesis of collagen and elastin, substances that give strength and
elasticity to the skin. Besides these polyunsaturated acids regulating defense
mechanisms and cell growth as well as the biological processes involved in the
regeneration of different tissues. But also, rosehip oil contains oleic acid
and lesser amounts of palmitic, stearic and arachidonic also contribute to its
renowned regenerative capacity.
Another significant-compound largely
responsible biological properties of this oil on the skin and tissue-trans
retinoic acid is the tretinoin or that it is in small concentrations (from 0.01
to 0.5%) but sufficient to confer the ability rosehip reduce tumorigenicity of
cells and epidermopoyesis and accelerate tissue regeneration, reducing the size
and improving the appearance of scars, including old-to attenuate or eliminate
the wrinkles and prevent the signs of premature skin aging. It also has a
marked anti-inflammatory action as scientists discovered Samecki Pommer and who
attributed the finding of this form of vitamin A.
