Borage Seed Oil

Borage Seed Oil (Borago Officinalis Seed Oil) is a plant-derived oil obtained from the seeds of the Borago officinalis plant. It is particularly valued for its high content of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid known for its anti-inflammatory, regenerating, and hydrating effects. Additionally, this oil contains a rich blend of linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, which contribute to its ability to support the skin’s barrier function and overall skin health.

Borage Seed Oil is lightweight and non-comedogenic, making it suitable for various skin types, including acne-prone and sensitive skin. It helps regulate sebum production, calms irritation, and promotes skin regeneration while providing antioxidant protection against environmental damage.

Key Skin Benefits:
✅ Sebum Regulation – Helps balance oil production, preventing both excessive dryness and overproduction of sebum.
✅ Anti-Inflammatory Properties – Reduces redness, irritation, and inflammation, making it beneficial for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
✅ Hydration Without Clogging Pores – Provides deep moisture while remaining lightweight and non-comedogenic.
✅ Skin Regeneration & Healing – Supports skin repair, helping to improve the appearance of scars and acne marks.
✅ Barrier Support – Strengthens the skin’s natural protective barrier, improving moisture retention and resilience.
✅ Antioxidant Protection – Contains vitamins and essential fatty acids that help shield the skin from free radical damage and premature aging.

Borage Seed Oil is commonly found in moisturizers, serums, and formulations designed for dry, sensitive, or irritated skin. Its combination of moisturizing, soothing, and restorative properties makes it an effective ingredient for improving overall skin health.
