DESCRIPTION

Organic Borage Oil with an 18% GLA content is a natural oil referred to by the botanical name Borago officinalis. Organic borage oil, also called starflower 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. Borage oil 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.
