REVIEW OF SOULFLOWER ROSEHIP AND JOJOBA OIL

Last December, I got my hands on Soulflower Rosehip oil and Jojoba oil and I have been using it since then.

As the regular readers of my blog know, I have always loved using oils on my skin and interestingly Soulflower oils have suited my skin really good. After using Argan oil, I wanted to try these two oils as I was already aware of their goodness.

PACKAGING

Soulflower has a cardboard packaging with a map drawn on it. It looks beautiful and added to that, is sustainable for the environment. I really appreciate their initiative towards environment consciousness. The oils come with a dropper, thus, there is no chance of them getting spilled.

The package mentions that it is a cold-pressed Rosehip/Jojoba oil. FYI: Cold pressed oils retain the natural, healthy antioxidants, which is otherwise destroyed by heat. So, they clearly are the best form of plant oils.

Cold pressing is a way of extracting oil from organically grown seeds, fruits and nuts pressed safely at a cool temperature to protect the oil from rancidity, trans fat, and other toxic processing chemicals.

AVAILABILTY

You can easily get Soulflower brands in Amazon, Nykaa and their official website.

PRICE

The MRP of Rosehip oil and Jojoba oil is Rs.800 and Rs.650 respectively.

I got mine during a sale, so, I got both of them for Rs.1015.

JOJOBA OIL

TEXTURE (Jojoba oil)

A very light oil and is suitable for oily skin too, for it doesn’t clog pores.

Jojoba oil is not actually oil but a liquid wax and it closely resembles human sebum— the oil our body secretes.

Advantages:

• Reduces dark spots, wrinkles and treats acne
• Balances  excess oil production
• Is a great moisturizer
• Is a great makeup primer.

ROSEHIP OIL

TEXTURE (Rosehip oil)

It is also a light oil and gets readily absorbed into our skin. It has a slight yellow/red tinge to it. And, has a sight woody smell which dies away after application.

Advantages:

• Stimulates collagen production and slows down aging.
• Contains high amounts of Vitamin C that penetrate the skin, unlike water soluble ascorbic acid that has trouble reaching lower layers of epidermis.
• Delivers a hefty dose of a natural retinoid, trans-retinoic acid which combats age spots, sun damage and wrinkles.
• Evens out skin tone.
• Good for mature skin (can start using from your 20s, good for the skin).

MY FINAL THOUGHTS

The overall packaging is awesome. The oils have really suited my skin. It moisturizes my skin and has helped it become soft and to glow. Remember that the right facial oil for your skin type can do wonders and, both Rosehip and Jojoba oil has helped me achieve glow on my skin and has worked effectively on my dark spots. Although I haven’t observed any drastic changes but it definitely has improved my skin texture.

I have used it for 1 ½ months. Perhaps with regular application, I may come across some visible changes and reduction of more dark spots.

My skin becomes dry during winter, so, I apply a drop of jojoba oil on my skin before applying any makeup. It absorbs into my skin and doesn’t make me look oily.

And, I use the rosehip oil at night and give myself a gentle facial massage. 

In Holistic skincare, massaging the skin is important to increase the circulation of blood. Massage activates the lymphatic system which in return fights wrinkles and fine lines.

Therefore, both these oils can be used to massage the face. It can be used individually as well as by combining them. (N.B. You can also add essential oil if you want.)

Will I repurchase it? Yes.
