Organic Borage Oil - The Herb of Joy
What is it:
Borage oil (also known as starflower oil) is a dry, mild oil extracted from the plant's seeds. Borage oil is the best source of GLA and contains at least 20% of valuable GLA.
There is no other vegetable oil that contains this amount of GLA. GLA can also be found in evening primrose oil (approximately 10%), black currant seed oil (6%), and hemp seed oil (2.5%). GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid.
What does it do:
Borage oil is excellent for all types of skin concerns. It is easily absorbed by the skin and affects the skin at a deep level, helping it stay healthy and prevent premature aging.
Suitable for:
Excellent for most skin types, nourishes mature, wrinkled skin and provides radiance, also beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin. Can help with problem skin. Strengthens nails and hair.
