A
Skin Care Secret Hidden in the Mountains of Chile Uncovered by Doctors!
In
December 1988 two doctors published their findings in a paper titled
Contributions to Identification and Application of Active Components
Contained in Rosa Aff. Rubiginosa. The
authors were Dr Bertha Pareja, Principal Professor, Faculty of Pharmacology
and Biochemistry, University of San Marcos, Lima, Peru and Dr Horst KehI,
from the School of Pharmacology of the University of Missouri, Kansas
City, Missouri, USA. Dr
Kehl took part in the effort during
his capacity of Visiting Professor at the San Marcos University.
The positive action of Rosehip Oil in helping to regenerate damaged skin
tissues was originally attributed to its high content of unsaturated
essential fatty acids, namely oleic (15-20%), linoleic (44-50%) and
linolenic (30-35%). They
are called
"essential"
because our body is not able to reproduce them. Although
these acids are important
in
maintaining
healthy skin, their presence did not establish enough scientific evidence
to explain the noticeable
reduction
of
surgical and accidental dermal scars,
the elimination
of
certain hyper-pigmented spots and
the significant lessening
of wrinkles.
So what was in Rosehip Oil that could have resulted in such dramatic
healing? Read More.
