Borage seed oil, certified organic

Cold-pressed, organic borage seed oil comes from the seeds of the Borago officinalis plant, a flowering herb native to the Mediterranean region. Traditionally, borage has been cultivated for its edible leaves and vibrant blue flowers, while its seeds have long been valued for their oil content. Over time, borage seed oil became a sought-after ingredient in skincare and haircare due to its unique fatty acid composition.

Skincare Uses

Lightweight yet deeply conditioning: Absorbs well into the skin, leaving it feeling soft without a greasy residue.

Naturally high in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA): One of the richest plant sources of GLA, a fatty acid commonly found in skincare formulations for maintaining a healthy skin barrier.

A popular addition to facial and body oils: Frequently used in blends designed for dry or mature skin, helping to enhance overall skin feel.

Versatile for different skincare applications: Found in serums, creams, and balms where plant-based nourishment is desired.

Haircare Uses

Nourishing for the scalp and hair: Often incorporated into scalp treatments and hair oils for its conditioning properties.

Supports moisture retention: Helps maintain softness in haircare formulations, particularly for dry or brittle hair.

Blends well with other botanical oils: Commonly used alongside oils like jojoba and argan for a balanced, lightweight hair treatment.

Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known allergies or skin sensitivities.
