Starflower, also known as Borage, is a bristly plant from the Middle East, now cultivated worldwide in warmer climates.
The oil is cold-pressed from the plant’s seeds to preserve its high omega 6 content.
It has a light yellow colour and a very slight sweet scent.
USES OF BORAGE OIL:
This versatile oil works well for a range of skin issues like dermatitis and dryness. The high omega 6 content soothes inflammation and deeply moisturises, helping to restore a healthy skin barrier.
PRECAUTIONS:
Borage oil is generally safe, but a patch test is recommended before full use to check for sensitivity. Keep it in a cool, dark place to extend its freshness.
