Borago Officinalis Seed Oil Description

seed oil, commonly known as borage oil, is the oil expressed from the seeds of a flowering herb native to the Mediterranean region.

This non-fragrant plant oil is a good source of free-radical scavenging antioxidants and is an abundant source of skin-loving fatty acids. Among them are palmitic, stearic, oleic, and ceramide-building linoleic acids. All of these bring moisturizing benefits to skin.

Over time, usage of borage oil helps strengthen skin’s barrier. Research also demonstrates it has a calming effect on skin, making it an ingredient to seek out if your skin is dehydrated or very dry, itchy, and flaky. This plant oil is even suitable for eczema-prone skin.
