Women around the world want smooth, young looking, velvety, silky soft, glowing wrinkle free skin and Mother Nature is providing them a wonderful rosehip seed oil, called Rosa Mosqueta (Rosa Aff. Rubiginosa, the name Rosa Mosqueta was given by aboriginals), belonging to the family of Rosaceae. It grows in the southern slopes of the high Andes, in the pollution free environment of Southern Chile. It has been a beauty secret of Chilean women for centuries. Its flowers are pink and as the petals drop, the plant develops a colourful orange, red seed pod. When the seeds of these pods are pressed they release an oil exceptionally rich in unsaturated and essential fatty acids (EFA), including oleic (15-20%), linoleic (44-50%) and linolenic (30-35%. In 1988 two researchers Dr. Berta Pareja from the Faculty of Pharmacology and Biochemistry at the UNMSM in Lima, Peru and R. Horst Kehl, from the School of Pharmacology at the University of Missouri, successfully identified the presence of Retinoic acid as the component responsible for the remarkable pharmacological properties of the oil. Retinoic acid is a derivative of Retinol (Vitamin A) and is marked as Tretinoin.
Essential fatty acids are needed to produce hormone like substances called prostaglandins that are used to repair skin tissue. Similar results of Dr. Pareja and Dr. Kehl were found by the researchers at the University of Seville Dermatology department as well the unique healing properties of this oil were discovered 1983 by the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacology at the University of Conception in Chile, the most prestigious private University in Chile. In a two year study an oil preparation was applied to 180 patients with surgical, traumatic and post-burn scars as well as to a group suffering from premature aging. The results were remarkable. It was found that the oil produced an effective regenerative action of the skin. Continuous application effectively helped attenuating scars and wrinkles, in preventing advancement of premature aging, and in regaining lost skin's natural colour and tone. Since then numerous studies on Rosa Mosqueta oil have been completed at varies Universities in Chile and other countries.
As a result of these studies the oil is now used worldwide by the medical community and as an important active ingredient by many cosmetic companies in North and South America, Asia and Europe.
And here is a remarkable true story that I personally was involved in 12 years ago. One of our professional Consultants brought me in contact with a young lady in Abbotsford, British Columbia who as a child played with matches and had all over her body first, second and third degrees burns except her face. She showed me the burns on her arms and legs and there really was no skin and it looked like brown leather with lots of deep post-burn and traumatic scars and there was absolutely no flexibility. She told me that she did not have a boyfriend since she could never get intimate with him and would not take off her cloth at night. I told her how to use our Rosa Mosqueta oil first on her arms and within 3-4 month there was an incredible improvement and one could actually see that the oil had penetrated through the three layers of the "leather-skin" and had slowly created from the inside-out new skin. After 10 month using the oil continuously the results were even more astounding and even the colour
of the skin started to look normal. Two month later I met her again and she had tears in her eyes and told me that the skin on the rest of her body had come back and that she has now a boyfriend, got engaged and that they are planning getting married in the near future. Her words to me:"This has been for me a miracle" and she gave me a big hug and I felt very happy for her and I told her "For every disease we know, Mother Nature provides a herb to grow!"
Here is a summary about the effectiveness of this wonderful, unrefined without additives (preferable certified organic) Rosa Mosqueta oil, the anti-aging secret of the Andes:
. regeneration of skin cells and repair of damages tissues

. effective in the therapy of multiple military osteoma cutis of the face, particularly when the lesions are small and superficial.
Please note that the Rosa Mosqueta oil is unsuitable for use on very oily skin, however, most people have a dry skin.
Simply massage a few drops of the oils or cream into the skin in the morning and evening before bedtime, using a circular motion until nothing is on the surface of the skin and it is totally absorbed. People who are sensitive should avoid contact with the eyes and important nutrients will be directly delivered to where they are needed to repair your skin. It will start to do its work from the first application but visible results can take up to six weeks. When applying the oil make sure it is fully absorbed before using the Rosa Mosqueta cream.
Remember the saying: "You are what you eat?" Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables daily, which are rich in antioxidant Vitamin A, C and E that protect your skin cells from oxidative damage. Taking Vitamin C supplement is a good idea because is is essential for the formation of collagen and tissue repair. Zinc is essential for the production of new skin cells and certified organic pumpkin seed are one of the best. Make sure that your diet contains good levels of essential fatty acids (EFA's), found in oily fish, fruit, nuts, seeds and legumes. Avoid sun exposure which causes the formation of free radicals which damage your skin cells and can even lead to melanoma, skin cancer. Try to eliminate consumption of saturated fats (trans-fats in junk food), refined sugar, salt, stimulants and processed food and pop drinks. Alcohol, smoking and coffee have also a negative effect on your skin since caffeine can block or reduce your ability to absorb nutrients, so never take your supplements with tea or coffee and avoid drinking tea or coffee at meal times.
Furthermore it is very important to exercise every day.
When purchasing Rosa Mosqueta oil or Rosa Mosqueta cream always make sure that is is a certified organic, unrefined 100% pure oil. Blended oils do not have the high concentration of active ingredients. It is essentially a rosehip oil and the difference is that the Rosa Mosqueta oil come from Chile only. The domestic variety of rosehip oils does not have the high content of essential fatty acids which makes the Rosa Mosqueta oil so effective.
Success is not by what we have. It is about who we are and what we give.
