Borage, also known as starflower, is an annual herb. The oil is extracted for its high GLA content which can range from 26 - 38%. Our Borage oil is Cold Pressed and contains 29% GLA. GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) is a fatty acid that maintains healthy skin and repairs tissue damage. It has a medium texture and absorbs easily into the skin.  The shelf life is approximately 10 months to 1 year. 

APPLICATIONS: Borage may be used to regulate the metabolism and hormones. It is an excellent choice for PMS (premenstrual syndrome). It should be gently massaged over the lower abdominal area. As an anti-inflammatory, add 25% borage oil to 75% wheatgerm oil. Wheatgerm is transdermal and carries the borage deep into the tissue, enhancing the treatment..  Borage is especially useful for mature and aging skin.  You can make a night serum using 10% Borage, 10% Argan to 80% Apricot Kernel.  Apply over the entire face and wake up wih with silky smooth skin. 

PRECAUTIONS: none
