Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Rugose Rose (Rosa rugosa) has a history of traditional use for various skin conditions, including dry and flaky skin. In traditional East Asian medicine, extracts from the petals, hips, and seeds of Rosa rugosa have been employed in topical preparations to soothe and hydrate the skin. These uses are often based on the emollient properties of rose oil and the presence of natural antioxidants, such as vitamin C and polyphenols, which are known to contribute to skin health. However, while there is historical documentation of these practices, modern scientific studies specifically investigating the efficacy of Rugose Rose for dry or flaky skin are limited. Some laboratory studies suggest that rose extracts can have moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties, but these are not typically specific to Rosa rugosa and are often extrapolated from studies on other rose species or general rose extracts. There is a lack of high-quality clinical trials validating its effectiveness for this particular skin condition. Thus, its use is primarily justified by tradition, with limited preliminary scientific rationale but insufficient direct evidence.
