Texture & feel
SENSORY100% Pure Organic Rosehip Oil
A single-ingredient formula with no fillers, preservatives, or additives. ECOCERT and COSMOS certified organic for guaranteed purity and traceability.
Cold-Pressed Extraction
Extracted using only physical pressure with no heat, preserving the natural vitamins, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants from the rosehip fruit.
Rich in Omega Fatty Acids
Contains approximately 51% linoleic acid (omega-6), 19% linolenic acid (omega-3), and 20% oleic acid (omega-9) to nourish and regenerate skin.
Unrefined & Unbleached
No decolorization or deodorization preserves the natural reddish-amber color and retains nutrients like chlorophyll, tocopherol, and carotenoids.
Safety & compatibility
SAFEContains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens. 100% pure rosehip oil is widely considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Rosehip oil contains long-chain fatty acids (C18 linoleic and oleic acid) that can feed Malassezia yeast. Those with active fungal acne should avoid this product.
Rosehip oil scores 1 on the comedogenic scale, making it unlikely to clog pores. Its high linoleic acid content may actually help balance sebum production.
Free from fragrance, essential oils, preservatives, and all common irritants. Suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types. Patch test recommended.
Can be layered with retinol, vitamin C, AHA, BHA, and niacinamide. Oils seal in actives and can help reduce irritation from potent treatments.
The reddish-orange tint is the natural color of unrefined rosehip oil. It will not stain skin when absorbed, but use sparingly to avoid temporary orange tinting on very fair skin.

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEApply as the last step in your skincare routine to seal in moisture. Use at night for best results. Can also be mixed 1–2 drops into your moisturizer or cream.
How to use
HOW TO USEDispense 2–3 Drops
After completing your skincare routine, use the dropper to place 2–3 drops of rosehip oil into clean palms.
Warm Between Palms
Rub your hands together gently to warm the oil. This generates heat that helps the oil absorb more effectively into the skin.
Press Onto Face
Gently press and pat the oil all over your face, neck, and any areas of concern. Avoid rubbing — pressing ensures even distribution and better absorption.
Optional: Mix with Moisturizer
For extra hydration, mix 1–2 drops into your daily moisturizer or cream. Especially effective during cold, dry seasons for added moisture barrier protection.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. This product contains only 100% pure Rosa Canina Fruit Oil with no retinoids (retinol, tretinoin), salicylic acid, hydroquinone, chemical sunscreens, or any other ingredients flagged as unsafe during pregnancy. Rosehip oil is widely considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is actually a popular choice for preventing stretch marks during pregnancy. As always, consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.
No. Rosehip oil contains long-chain fatty acids — including linoleic acid (C18:2) and oleic acid (C18:1) — that fall within the C11–C24 carbon chain range that Malassezia yeast can feed on. If you have active Pityrosporum folliculitis (fungal acne), this product may aggravate your condition. Consider fungal acne-safe alternatives like squalane oil or MCT oil (caprylic/capric triglycerides) instead.
Yes. Rosehip oil is compatible with all major actives including retinol, vitamin C serums, AHA (glycolic, lactic acid), BHA (salicylic acid), and niacinamide. As an oil, it should be applied as the last step to seal in your actives. Some users find that rosehip oil helps buffer the irritation from potent treatments like retinol. Apply your water-based actives first, then follow with rosehip oil.
This oil is best suited for dry, normal, sensitive, and mature skin types. Its rich fatty acid profile delivers deep nourishment and barrier repair. People with oily skin can still use it — the high linoleic acid content may help regulate sebum — but should limit to 1–2 drops. It is excellent for those with acne scars or hyperpigmentation. Not recommended for those with active fungal acne.
Immediate hydration and softness are noticeable from the first use. Improved radiance and skin texture typically appear within 2–4 weeks of consistent nightly use. Scar fading and hyperpigmentation improvement generally take 4–8 weeks. Anti-aging benefits like reduced fine lines and improved elasticity require 8–12 weeks of consistent daily application.
Apply as the last step in your skincare routine, after cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer. Oils create an occlusive seal that locks in all previous products. Use 2–3 drops at night for best results. In the morning, apply before sunscreen. You can also mix 1–2 drops into your moisturizer for a hydration boost.
Rosehip oil has a comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5, which means it is very unlikely to clog pores. In fact, its high linoleic acid content (51%) can actually help balance sebum production in oily skin. Many acne-prone users report no breakouts from rosehip oil. However, as with any new product, patch testing is recommended before full-face application.
The PAO (Period After Opening) is 6 months. Rosehip oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids that are prone to oxidation, and this product contains no preservatives or antioxidant additives. Store in a cool, dark place and keep the cap tightly closed after each use. If the oil develops a strong rancid smell or changes color significantly, it has likely oxidized and should be discarded.
Verdict: Aromatica Organic Rosehip Oil is a solid, trustworthy choice for anyone seeking a pure, certified-organic facial oil with minimal ingredients. Its ECOCERT/COSMOS certification, cold-pressed extraction, and single-ingredient simplicity make it stand out in the K-beauty market. It excels at deep hydration, barrier repair, and gradual scar fading. The main drawbacks are its short 6-month shelf life, the natural nutty scent that some find off-putting, and the fact that it is not fungal acne safe. Budget-conscious shoppers may find comparable results with The Ordinary's rosehip oil at a third of the price, but the Aromatica version offers superior certification credentials and an unrefined, nutrient-dense formula that many users prefer.

They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.

Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
