Borage Oil
What is Borage Oil?
Borage oil, with the INCI name Borago Officinalis Seed Oil, is a plant-based oil derived from the seeds of the borage plant. This oil is known for its exceptionally high content of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that contributes to skincare and general wellness applications. Due to its moisturizing and restorative properties, borage oil is widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceutical products, and dietary supplements.

How is Borago Officinalis Seed Oil made?
Borage seeds are carefully selected, cleaned, and then pressed to extract the oil. During this process, a high concentration of nutrients, such as GLA and other essential fatty acids, is retained. Depending on the production method, the oil is further filtered and refined to meet specific industry requirements.
The effects of Borage Oil
Thanks to its high gamma-linolenic acid content, borage oil supports the skin barrier, helps reduce moisture loss, and promotes skin repair. The oil is often used in the care of dry or sensitive skin and may help reduce inflammation, such as in eczema or acne. In dietary supplements, borage oil contributes to a balanced hormone system and overall health.
