Trilogy commissioned an independent clinical study to test the effect of the topical application of Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil on scars.
The study was conducted at an independent laboratory in Australia during 2009, in accordance with ICH Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice.

Methodology
- Ten subjects between the ages of 20 and 60.
- Subjects showed evidence of scarring on the face, leg, arms or torso of mild to severe intensity. Scars ranged from newly healed scars to older existing scars.

- A photographic record was kept of the scar area appearance at each time point.
- For one test subject, two areas were chosen and separately monitored to allow for intra-subject comparison.
- Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil was applied twice daily.
- Concurrent use of other skincare products was not permitted in the skin area under study.
- No adverse reactions were observed during the study.
