I am very pleased with Organic Borage Oil. So far it is the best oil I’ve ever tried on my skin. It calms down all the inflammation, no break outs, my skin feels great… although it smells pretty bad like duck or chicken grease… But I add to it some essential oils to mask the smell and it makes a big difference

Description
Borage is an herb that is said to have originated in the Middle East, but is now cultivated in many regions of Europe, North America and Asia. Sometimes known as a starflower, Borage showcases beautiful, blue star-shaped flowers. The leaves and flowers are edible and are enjoyed in teas, salads and in other culinary dishes.
The small, dark brown seeds of the Borage plant yield a prized, pressed oil that is considered one of the richest sources of Gamma-linolenic Acid (GLA), an Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acid. We offer a selection of organic and conventional Borage Seed Oils that are available with a minimum content of 20% GLA.
Our Organic Borage Oil is carefully produced and packaged to maintain the purity, freshness and beneficial properties of is highly nutritive pressed oil.
The shelf life of refined Organic Borage Seed Oil is two years when stored unopened in its original packaging in a cool, dark location. Once opened, we recommend blanketing the oil under nitrogen and retesting the oil every 2 months.
