The study aimed to investigate the anti-aging, skin-whitening, and antioxidant capacities of the extracts and constituents from the roots of Rosa canina L. by anti-collagenase, anti-tyrosinase activity, ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), cupric-reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) assays, and the Folin-Ciocalteu method (for the extracts). Enzyme inhibitory activities, pharmacokinetics, and drug-likeness properties of the compounds were evaluated in silico.
