What do Miranda Kerr, Kate Middleton and Victoria Beckham all have in common? Other than being the subjects of our wardrobe envy, they're also all huge fans of Rosehip Oil...

It’s no secret that Rosehip Oil’s a true Team Gorgeous favourite, but even we were wowed when the A’Kin team told us there were over 50 ways to radiant skin with Rosehip. From boosting beard hair to calming nappy rash, Rosehip Oil’s good for more than just facial skincare.
