Benefits of the Ingredients in this DIY Rosehip Oil Eye Cream
💛 Rosehip Oil
Rosehip oil is a sweetheart in the anti-aging world.
It improves cell longevity and slows down premature aging.
Rosehip oil is rich in carotenoid pigments that give it its bright orange color. It also contains strong antioxidants which can inhibit the synthesis of MMP-1, an enzyme responsible for the breakdown of collagen.
It is good for reducing dark circles because it contains an extract known as methanolic that has been shown to be an inhibitor of melanogenesis, which means that it works against skin pigmentations and discolorations.
💛 Sweet Almond Oil
Pressed from raw almonds, sweet almond oil is ultra-moisturizing for skin.
It has a lot of Vitamin E in it, which makes it healing and repairing for under-eye wrinkles and dark circles.
Sweet almond oil also has a thin consistency which makes it the cream easier to blend into a good consistency.
💛 Shea Butter
Shea butter is a soft creamy plant butter that has a high percentage of unsaponifiable compounds such as triterpenes, tocopherol, phenols and sterols. All these compounds give shea butter strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
These skin nourishing properties make it an effective anti-aging ingredient for skin care formulations.
Its increased concentration of fatty acids and Vitamins such as Vitamin A and E soften the sensitive and delicate under-eye skin and prevent premature fine lines and wrinkles.
💛 Beeswax
Beeswax helps solidify this DIY rosehip oil eye cream.
It also works as a humectant, meaning it attracts moisture from the surroundings and keeps it locked in skin cells, preventing skin from drying out.
Beeswax forms a protective layer around the skin, shielding it from environmental factors including direct sunlight and pollution, which trigger premature aging.
💛 Frankincense Essential Oil
Frankincense essential oil is one of the best oils for aging skin. It is great for dry mature skin types. It stimulates cell regeneration and protects cells from free radical damage.
The astringent properties of frankincense essential oil help tighten the under eye skin, keeping it firm and taut.
It is included in many anti-aging creams and serums because it has strong antioxidants in it that prevents early fine lines and wrinkles.
💛 Rose Otto Essential Oil
A lush essential oil, rose otto is known as the oil of eternal youth.
It is filled with antioxidants that make it effective in fighting oxygen-scavenging pro-aging free radicals that contribute to wrinkles by stealing oxygen from skin cells.
Rose otto essential oil also balances skin oils, deeply nourishes skin and protects the thin sensitive skin of the under eye area.
It also reduces inflammation and helps reduce under eye puffiness.
💛 Vitamin E Oil
Vitamin E is a naturally occurring antioxidant also known as tocopherol. It protects the skin from the adverse effects of oxidative stress including photo-aging or aging caused by UV rays.
