Borage Seed Oil

For soapmaking, we recommend borage seed oil. Borage oil is one of the richest sources of gamma linolenic acid plus it contains important vitamins and minerals. It is often used in high-end cosmetic formulations to nourish and hydrate the skin.

Daily consumption of borage seed oil has been shown to have beneficial effects on acne, allergies, cardiovascular problems, dehydration, dry skin, eczema, fatigue, PMS, psoriasis, osteo-arthritis, weight-problems, mood swings and liver problems.
