Borage Oil
Our Organic Cold Pressed Refined Borage Oil is natural oil referred to by the botanical name Borago officinalis. Borage oil, also called starflower oil or borage seed oil, is cold-pressed extracted from the seeds of the borage plant. It is fully refined, resulting in a neutral oil with a bland aroma and a clear golden-honey color.
It is naturally rich in the Omega-6 essential fatty acid GLA (gamma-linolenic acid C18:3n-6) making it widely used throughout the dietary supplement industry.
Borage oil is also used in a number of cosmetic products such as topical creams, balms, ointments, and body butters formulated to benefit the skin. Its emollient properties help restore skin moisture and promote elasticity.
