oil high in essential fatty acids, GLA, and vitamin C.
The cold-pressed oil contains
between 30% and 40% gamma linoleic acid (GLA)
which has valuable uses in treating
skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis.
Can be used as a carrier oil
with very small amounts of essential oils added,
as a massage oil, or added
to other vegetable/nut oils as part of a blend.
This oil reduces scarring,
heals burns, and softens scars and keloids.
It can help diminish broken capillaries,
but may also aggravate acne or blemished skin.
The application of rosa mosqueta oil produced rapid healing
of the inflammation, darkening and dermatitis caused by radiation.
This is the best antiaging oil to us.
However, it may turn rancid quickly and should be
stored in a cool place or refrigerated.
