This oil is then separated from the juice and aqueous components. Because no heat is involved, the natural aroma molecules are optimally preserved. That's also why cold-pressed citrus oils smell so fresh and vibrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange oil is often a byproduct of the juice industry.

Another practical advantage is that sweet orange, together with mandarin, is one of the few cold-pressed citrus oils that is not phototoxic, allowing you to incorporate it into day care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTips when using Sweet Orange Essential Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore the oil in a cool, dark place.

It is a tall tree that is recognizable by its many large leaves and a trunk about one meter thick. The Krappa grows in areas where 1200 to 3200 ml of rain falls per year and therefore grows mainly at the edge of swamps and by rivers that occasionally flood. Experiments have shown that this tree can remain standing in flooded areas for more than three months without dying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seeds of the Krappa contain up to \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e65% unsaturated fatty acids\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, especially Oleic acid (Omega 9) and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalmitic acid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e (Omega 3) are present in high quantities.

After that, the seeds are cold-pressed into Krappa Oil. Especially in Suriname a lot of Krappa Oil is made. The seeds in this oil are cold-pressed.

The oil is also known under the English name Rosehip Oil and is a true classic in pro-age skincare. Our Rosehip Oil is organic, cold-pressed and unrefined, and has a beautiful orange-red color and an earthy, warm scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is Rosehip Oil made?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosehips are the fruits of the rose bush and contain dozens of small white-yellow seeds. The oil is pressed from these seeds. With cold-pressed, unrefined oil, no heat above 30 degrees is used during pressing, which preserves the natural fatty acids, carotenoids and colorants. The refined version is lighter in color and odorless, but lacks many of the active ingredients. The cold-pressed variant is therefore the variant with real efficacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is Rosehip Oil so special?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes Rosehip Oil unique is its extremely high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The oil consists of approximately 45 to 55% linoleic acid (omega 6) and 25 to 35% alpha-linolenic acid (omega 3). That high proportion of omega 3 is exceptional for a plant oil and is what makes the oil so well-known for barrier repair and skincare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, Rosehip Oil naturally contains carotenoids (including beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A) and traces of trans-retinoic acid. The amount of retinoic acid in Rosehip Oil is very small, approximately 0.0000358%, so you cannot compare it to a pharmaceutical retinol or tretinoin cream. The pro-age effect of Rosehip Oil mainly comes from the combination of essential fatty acids, carotenoids and antioxidants, which together support skin renewal and barrier function. The orange-red color of the oil comes directly from these carotenoids, which also explains why the oil can temporarily give the skin a somewhat orange tint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of Rosehip Oil for your skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupports the skin barrier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe high content of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid supports the natural skin barrier and helps with dry or thirsty skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro-age effect\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe naturally present carotenoids and traces of retinoic acid make Rosehip Oil a popular choice for softening fine lines and promoting an even skin texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHelps with scars and stretch marks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRosehip Oil has been used for years to soften scars, stretch marks and pigment spots.

Due to the orange-red color, the oil is best used as night care. Want to use it during the day? Then mix with a lighter Carrier Oil like Jojoba Oil or squalane, then the skin won't turn orange. The oil is suitable for the face and the rest of the body, and is a nice ingredient in DIY face serums or body butters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCan you use Rosehip Oil during pregnancy and in the sun?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, in both cases you can. Rosehip Oil has been used for years precisely by pregnant women to soften stretch marks. The amount of trans-retinoic acid is so small that there is no real risk, even during pregnancy. However, we always advise: are you pregnant and do you have doubts? Please consult with your midwife or doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosehip Oil is also safe to use in the sun. However, we recommend using the oil in the evening. This has nothing to do with phototoxicity, but with two other reasons: the orange color can temporarily rub off, and the rich unsaturated fatty acids oxidize faster in bright sunlight. In the evening, the oil gets time to absorb peacefully without oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTips when using Rosehip Oil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosehip Oil naturally has an earthy, warm scent that is described by some as somewhat fishy.

Always add the oil in the cool phase to DIY recipes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe oil can temporarily give the skin a somewhat orange tint.
