Borage Oil - 50ml
Borage Oil — 50ml
Borago officinalis — Cold-pressed from seeds sourced in Europe and North America. Also known as Starflower Oil.
One of the richest plant sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) — Borage Oil’s exceptionally high omega-6 content makes it particularly beneficial for dry, damaged, and mature skin, supporting the skin’s barrier function and reducing inflammation. With a higher GLA content than even evening primrose oil, borage is the most potent plant-based GLA source available, making it a powerful active ingredient in formulations targeting inflammatory skin conditions, hormonal skin changes, and visible signs of ageing.
