Inflora Botanica Has An Interest In Canada As A Potential Source For Rosehip Seed Oil

(LosAngeles.CityRegions.Com, July 22, 2014 ) Mill Valley, CA -- A Monograph written by Ioana ROMAN and Liviu Holonec called "Strategy of Establishing a Rosehip Plantation Using Varieties of Rosa Canina from Spontaneous Flora of Transylvania" has inspired Inflora Botanica to broaden it's sourcing interest to include Canada.

Inflora Botanica CEO states "this monograph shows that growing the varieties of roses that create the rose hips with the most beneficial nutritional profile for a rosehip seed oil product is possible in Canada. It would be fantastic to source from Canada over Chile because it is much closer and therefore much more sustainable.

The monograph begins with an abstract: "This study presents the methodology to achieve a plantation of wild rose, using four varieties of Rosa Canina from wild flora of Transylvania. Also has been considered: how to harvest the plant material, market demand for vegetable raw material costs to establish, maintain the culture and life of a culture. Vegetative material consists of four varieties of Rosa Canina, seen as valuable for their high content in vitamin C, fruit size and productivity. These varieties were selected based on macroscopic, biophysical and biochemical studies."

Inflora Botanica CEO states "this is the perfect marriage. Use of the hips for tea and vitamin C and the seeds for oil makes use of the entire plant.

The report concludes with the following: "Entering in the culture of these biotypes, found in the wild flora of
Transylvania, will open new perspectives in research, environmental practice in the application of important elements of sustainable development. Use the four biotypes selected in the establishment of a small plantation is desirable considering the fact that in our country there are few plantations of Rosa canina."

Rosehip seed oil is used to treat sun damaged skin, very dry skin, and skin problems like eczema and psoriasis with very good results and no side effects.

Lambert reports "it would be fantastic to be sourcing more locally. Many of our customers really care about that and we do too. We are going to keep our eye on these plans."
