What is Rose Hip?
Rose hip is the fruit of the wild rose plant and is typically harvested after the petals have fallen off. It is often processed into powders, purees, or extracts for use in various products.
Rose hip is used for its fruity flavor and high vitamin C content. There is some evidence suggesting it may have anti-inflammatory effects and support immune function, but research findings are mixed, with more studies needed to confirm these benefits.
When you see rose hip on a label, it's typically included for its flavor or potential health benefits rather than as a primary ingredient.
