PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A light yellow to darker yellow oil with a faint aroma that is pressed from the fruit / hips of the wild rose bush.
This is 99.5% Rosehip Fruit Oil and we have added 0.35% Vitamin E as a powerful antioxidant to keep the oil from oxidising. That Vitamin E is suspended in 0.15% Sunflower Seed Oil to make it pourable. Without this added antioxidant, the oil would have a shelf life of only a few months before it goes rancid. We add the antioxidant to ensure the quality and therapeutic action for longer. It is best to store this oil in the fridge.
- Use 1% to 100%. Although safe to use neat on the skin, the high level of Omega 3 can make the oil feel tight on the skin. We feel the oil is much more elegant when blended with other oils.
- Oil soluble so cannot be used in water only products. It can be used in small amounts in water based gels that will hold it in suspension.
- Not heat stable so should be used in Stage 3 (cool stage) when making creams and lotions.
Rosehip Seed Oil blends very well with other oils that have a much fattier or greasy feel to them like Shea Butter. The dryness of the Rosehip Seed Oil makes the combination feel very elegant.
For sensitive skin, blend it with Peach Kernel Oil or Apricot Kernel Oil to improve the resilience of the skin.

HOW TO USE IT
Skin Care
- Rosehip Seed Oil has a light and non greasy texture that feels quite dry. It sinks into the skin rapidly without leaving any greasy after feel. It is excellent to moisturise dry and damaged skin.
- Helps to give a more even skin tone.
- A great oil to use for acne prone skin as it has such a light texture.
- Rosehip Seed Oil contains a natural form of Vitamin A which is a powerful antioxidant. Combined with the high Omega 3 content, this oil is superb for smoothing the skin and helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles especially on mature skin.
- As it has a short surface time on the skin, it is excellent for use under makeup.
- Rosehip Seed Oil balances skin tone to promote an even glow.
- It has an excellent, balanced ratio of Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9. This makes it ideal to use in oil blends for all skin types and very simple to use in gel formulations where less of an oil can be included therefore using a good, balanced oil is ideal.
- In anti aging skincare products, Rosehip Seed Oil keeps the skin soft, supple and radiant.
Hair Care
- Rosehip Seed Oil tones an oily scalp. It will also improve the resilience of a sensitive scalp.
- The scalp will be moisturised without feeling greasy or heavy.

A great vacation read
Format: Kindle
I was looking for something interesting but not a lengthy novel. Really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read while on vacation and is anchored in a historical perspective I had not ever considered, that of being both Chinese and a woman in the South (Atlanta) at the time of the Women’s suffrage movement. The character is subject to the same segregation laws and lack of rights as a Black woman at the time. This is a clever, strong, female character who surmounts several obstacles created by the environment in which she lives.

It was alright
Format: Kindle
Pervious to this book, I had no knowledge of the struggles of the Chinese in the South during the post Civil War era. For that reason, I'm glad I read this book.
I enjoyed that this book discussed and gave perspective on many social issues of that time.
The main character is spunky and likable.
There are many unbelievable scenes and conversations that I did not enjoy because they seemed too far-fetched. Why the author had to include a description of a naked man was also not to my liking. Worst of all, though, was the incredible number of similes in this book. There were just too many, and it got annoying.
Overall, it was good enough to read, but I do not highly recommend it.

A Chinese in Atlanta
Format: Kindle
The Girl Downstairs was a charming book. Although the writing isn’t particularly sophisticated, it felt like Jo was letting us peek into the pages of her diary—raw, honest, and deeply personal. Her journey, as the main character, was both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Through her eyes, we witness the simple beauty of connection and the ugly truth of prejudice that has plagued our country for far too long. It’s a powerful reminder that humanity should never be measured by the color of one’s skin. This is another great YA read—I highly recommend it.

Atlanta During the 1890's
Format: Paperback
Whether you like The Downstairs Girl or not depends on what you crave. If you crave historical fiction that will teach you, or that helps you realize the myriad of things that were going on in a certian place and time (Atlanta during the 1890s, or an imaginative author who never use trite metaphors or similes, you will love this book. Or if you want to quickly turn pages, you will be disappointed. If you want a simple plot, do not read this book. If you want an intricately spun story with plenty of mystrey, humor and many surprises, you will love it.
Jo Kuan is a Chinese American without voting rights, deStined to be a servang and doesn;t knw who her mother or father are, lives in a basement of a family with Old Gin who she thinks of as old man who adopted not offically but out of love. Chinese Americans were brought into the South after the Civil War to take over what slaves used to do but instead of no pay, they got tiny pay. You could walk or take a streetcar to work. Blacks sat the back of the streetcars, but if you were Chinese American, you didn't know where you sat or were told to gat off. They could not own or rent, where were you supposed to live; It was the start of Jim Crow laws and of cocoa cola. Women suffragettes started working towards the vote of white women. This was not a quiet oeriod of history.
I thoroughly enjoyed this peak at Atlanta in the 1890's through an Asian American young woman's eyes, ears and even her nose.
