Borage Oil is a golden yellow-colored oil extracted from the borage wildflower, often referred to as the starflower thanks to its beautiful blue star-shaped flowers that accompany the distinctive fuzzy red stems.

What are carrier oils? “Carrier Oil” is a term generally used in the contexts of aromatherapy and cosmetic recipes for natural skin and hair care. Carrier oils and essential oils are made from plants. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils and “carry” them to your skin. That’s because essential oils are potent and can cause irritation when applied directly to your skin. A Carrier Oil is a vital aspect of an aromatherapy massage or a natural cosmetic such as a soap, bath oil, body oil, cream, lip balm, lotion, or other moisturizer, as it can affect the usefulness of the massage and the color, scent, therapeutic properties, and shelf life of the final product, respectively. Most carrier oils are unscented or lightly scented and don’t interfere with an essential oil’s therapeutic properties. They may be used alone or with other oils to nourish your skin. Expeller Pressing It is a chemical-free process that involves placing the nuts or seeds in a horizontal press that has an 'expeller,' which is a rotating screw. The screw drives the nuts and seeds through a barrel-shaped hollow and compresses them until the high pressure squeezes out the oil, which seeps out through the opening, while the ‘meal,’ or the debris, remains inside the barrel. The oil is then filtered, resulting in the finished product. Due to the absence of solvent residues in Expeller Pressing, the outcome is cleaner, purer oils that are higher in natural colors and scents. Benefits & Uses Eliminate acne Borage oil is fast becoming a popular ingredient in acne skincare for its blemish banishing and oil control properties. Borage is much lighter and less pore-blocking than many others such as coconut oil. In fact, it’s often dubbed a ‘dry oil’ since it absorbs super-quickly and feels feather-light on the skin. Calm the skin Borage oil is a fatty acid with calming and nourishing benefits, which can help soothe redness. For this reason borage oil is an excellent addition that can help with dry, irritated or inflamed skin. Did you know borage oil has over double the GLA content of evening primrose oil – an oil commonly associated with potent levels? Strengthens the skin barrier It may not look like it on the surface, but your skin is constantly hard at work, specifically the uppermost layer known as the skin barrier. Dubbed the “security guard” for your skin, the barrier’s key job is to stop potential problems passing through to protect what lies within. Borage oil is a type of omega-6 fatty acid that is excellent at increasing the skin’s essential protective barrier. Great for hair Borage seed oil help eliminate follicular inflammation and also strengthen the hair follicles, therefore minimize hair fall naturally. Borage seed oil alleviates dandruff and revitalizes dull hair. It’s ideal for dry, itchy scalp; when using borage seed oil, your hair is protected against harmful chemicals as well as heat styling and environmental damage.
