The secret of Rosa Mosqueta’s astonishing regenerative effect has long been known to lie in its high natural content of essential fatty acids (linolenic & linoleic acids, known collectively as GLA) which are important skin nutrients for the rebirth of healthy cell membranes, & for other processes in the regeneration & repair of the skin. In fact Rio Rosa Mosqueta is many times richer in natural GLA than, for instance, Evening Primrose or Vitamin E oil, both of which are widely recommended by skin specialists for the care & attenuation of scars from acne, surgery & accidents, & for stretch marks. More recent research has shown that Rosa Mosqueta also contains Retinol. This is a valuable natural support for maintaining silky smooth skin, & is related to (but different from) Vitamin A.
