This oil comes from a single family farm in New Zealand. Not a co-op, not a blend from multiple growers — one farm.
The cold-press method they use is so old-school that most brands ditched it because it’s slow and expensive. Triology still does it because it keeps the vitamin E intact instead of torching it during processing. That’s why this oil smells faintly like a crushed rosehip, not like nothing.
It’s 100% certified organic rosehip oil. $28 for 1 oz. The claim that got me: “clinically proven to improve skin hydration by 44% in 2 weeks.” I didn’t believe it either.
Cold-Pressed Only
No heat, no chemicals — the oil stays raw and active.
Single Origin
One New Zealand farm, harvested by hand. That’s rare for a brand this size.
No Additives
No fragrance, no preservatives, no filler oils. Just the seed oil.

Three main fatty acids do the heavy lifting here. But the unsung hero is trans-retinoic acid — the natural form of vitamin A that doesn’t irritate like the synthetic stuff. It’s why this oil fades dark spots without peeling your face off.
- Linoleic Acid: unclogs pores without drying
- Oleic Acid: sinks in fast, no greasy film
- Vitamin E: antioxidant that keeps the oil stable for 12 months
- Trans-Retinoic Acid: gentle vitamin A that fades scars

Thin. Like water that’s been tinted gold. It absorbs in about 12 seconds — I timed it. No greasy forehead at 2pm.
Week 2, I got a tiny breakout on my chin. Almost quit. Then week 3, my skin looked like I’d slept 9 hours for 7 nights straight. The breakout was just purging from the vitamin A — it passed.
My left cheek had a dark spot from a pimple I picked at in April. It’s 60% lighter after 5 weeks. My fine lines around my mouth? Still there, but less angry. What stayed the same: my nose pores. This oil won’t fix texture.
It’s not magic. But for fading scars and keeping skin hydrated without breaking the bank? This is the one I’ll repurchase until they change the formula or I die.
