Borage Oil Refined

BORAGE OIL REFINED

Beautiful Borage (Borago officinalis) – known to many as ‘Starflower’ - produces a carrier oil that’s become something a hero in the health and wellness world.

The seeds from this plant are said to possess extensive therapeutic benefits due to their high fatty acid content – Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) in particular, a game-changer for flawless skin. Extracted, pressed and gently refined, they produce a clear, odourless liquid with the highest GLA content in an oil form, making it the ideal choice for effective skin support and management.

Lightweight and highly absorbable, Borage Oil Refined is the perfect additive to cosmetics, homemade healthcare remedies or blended with suitable essential oils for topical application.

• Borage Oil contains the highest level of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) found in any oil, a key fatty acid that’s essential for all-round health.
• GLA is particularly good for the skin, supporting moisture retention and helping alleviate complex conditions like eczema and neurodermatitis.
  
• Further to this, GLA aids in reducing fine lines, wrinkles and stretch marks, and helps to repair skin cell damage.
• The anti-inflammatory properties in GLA help reduce pain and swelling, promoting joint mobility and managing conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
  
• Other Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids, Alpha-Linolenic and Linoleic in Borage Oil, nourish the skin while keeping it hydrated.
  
• Oleic acid (an Omega 9) is known to fight free radicals, promoting younger, healthier-looking skin.
  
• Omegas in Borage Oil also give a boost to hair, adding volume and shine while stimulating healthy growth.
  
• Borage Oil is said to support hormonal balance in women, helping to regulate hormonal fluctuation and easing symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause.
