How to Make Rose Hip Oil?

To make rose hip oil, you can use either a quick heat method or a slower, more traditional infusion method.

Method 1: Quick Heat Method

This method is ideal if you want your rose hip oil ready to use relatively quickly.

1. Combine Rosehips and Oil: Place your dried rosehips and carrier oil (such as olive, almond, or jojoba) in a heatproof container.
2. Simmer Gently: Use a double boiler or slow cooker. Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for 6-8 hours, or longer if desired.

Method 2: Traditional Infusion Method

This method takes longer but is a classic way to create infused oils.

1. Combine Rosehips and Oil: Put your rosehips and oil into a glass container with an airtight lid.
2. Infuse: Let the mixture infuse.

Note: The reference material doesn't specify the infusion duration for the traditional method, which will vary. This is likely longer than the 6-8 hours indicated for the quick heat method.
