BORAGE SEED OIL

Borago officinalis

Borage belongs to Jupiter and Leo. A delightful 'happy herb' that was once considered one of the four 'cordial flowers and esteemed for cheering the spirits'. It is also believed to foster courage.

Borage seed is one of the richest sources of GLA's (gamma-linoleic acid), a particularly healing and rejuvenating substance. GLAs are essential for the body's production of prostaglandins, which in turn support the metabolism and immune system. Gamma linoleic acids nourish the skin, maintain its healthy tone and ally the wear and tear of time. Small quantities of Borage Seed oil can be added to other blends and lotions to enhance their effects. A great oil to add to facial blends for mature skin.
