There's absolutely no need to apologise, Lucy. We're all learning and we all make mistakes on the way - me included.
Sorry,  but does it really have Vitamin A in any quantity? Where's that info from? |

| this is the quote from some internet sources: "Pure Rosehip oil contains around three-quarters essential fatty acids: oleic, linoleic, and linolenic, which help maintain healthy skin. Rosehip oil also contains natural Tretinoin, a derivative of Retinol (Vitamin A), which replenishes and helps rebuild skin tissue. The oil has a naturally occuring preservative in the form of anti-oxidant tocopherols (Vitamin E), helping to maintain shelf-life." |

Molly, I just googled on the internet.
Both Rosehip Oil and Sea Buckthorn should help somewhat with lines. But in all honesty I had never seen any difference.
I was hesitant to add rosehip oil to my Emu combo (since I use CPs), but, thanks to Molly, now safely can.
Also, I had never seen any proof, but Red Rasp. Seed oil supposedly has SPF 50 or so. The supplier had in on their wwebpage. Do not know of it is true.
Lucy. |

I don't believe it is true. It seems to be a misinterpretation of the research which has then been copied from site to site.
I was using the skincareboard a lot when they were discussing it and their previous host, Deb actually spoke to the person who's research they all refer to and they hadn't tested it's SPF. |

Molly,
thank you so much. That is what I had suspected, but never knew for sure.
DY's forum was where I had originally picked the info about it.
I miss Deb, she had such a vast knowledge in the field. |

| on the other hand Sigma there is at least one user here who swears by it for sun protection; says she never tans nor burns. So it doesn't have any scientific proof but that's not to say it's not possible. |

| I heard Camellia oil was good for stretch marks but, I first heard about this as a hair oil from my stylist. It is amazing in the hair. |

I'm still working on guessing the OP's mystery oil. 
I would guess kukui nut oil, but since you do not think this is it, the only other choices I can think of are kiwi seed oil (very lovely and light) or karanja oil (rich, usually used only to about 10% in blends). Of these, the kukui nut definitely fits your description the best.
Try going towww.gardenofwisdom.com and clicking on Carrier/Exotic oils to see what oils there actually are. markey has a pretty comprehensive list -- and I've tried most of them, just for fun. All oils -- and skins -- are different. The much-touted emu has always merely sat on the surface of my skin. I sent it to my dad, who is a stroke victim with very dry skin and wheelchair abrasions, and it's a miracle product for him. Jojoba is a miracle product for me. I am about to try pure rosehip seed oil for the first time, as I am naturally oily. But my lotus oil blend, great in summer, has become a wee bit drying in January, even in warm sunny California. . .
BTW, Lucy -- it seems like rosehip seed oil should have Vitamin C, since rosehips is an excellent source of it. Odd, no? Except Vit C is water-souble, as opposed to oil soluble. . . |
