Five ingredients, no fragrance, and a bottle you finish.
Pai extracts both the seed and the fruit of the rosehip with supercritical CO₂ rather than pressing them, which keeps more of the carotenoids that give the oil its deep orange colour. The result is a five-ingredient formula with nothing added to make it smell like anything. It goes on last, at night, on damp skin.
Price at Pai Skincare, checked August 2026. It moves.
Pai says this formula carries 24% more polyunsaturated fatty acids and 700% more polyphenols than other premium rosehip oils. That is the brand’s own comparison, not an independent one, and we have not seen the underlying data. What we can verify is the label: five ingredients, COSMOS certified organic, no fragrance. That is why it is here.

Press into damp skin — never rub. Let your hands rest a moment on your face.
Leave it to settle as you wind down. Your skin keeps working while you sleep.

“I used it for a full winter before it went on this page. It is the only oil I have handed to a friend with rosacea without adding a caveat afterwards.”— Medina, founder of ETHOS
