Borage Seed Oil - 50 ml

Borago officinalis. Beautiful and healing at the same time

Its star-shaped, sky-blue flowers are an annual feature in grandmothers' gardens for their healing properties. Perhaps because of its unusual beauty, the borage would be worth cultivating even if it had no medicinal properties. However, what makes it a truly star flower are its beneficial properties, which have been used since ancient times. Even the ancient Arab physician Avicenna proclaimed that it brings joy and relief to the heart.

The oil will surprise you with its extremely beneficial effects on the skin

One reason for this is the high content of the essential fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is a strong anti-inflammatory. In addition, these essential lipids are needed to retain sufficient moisture in the skin - which makes the skin supple, soft and not at risk of drying and dehydration. Likewise, borage oil will also relieve all the symptoms that accompany these potential skin problems - unpleasant itching, swelling, cracking and redness. It is also suitable for the treatment of minor wounds and burns.

Among other things, the oil from this starflower is packed with a dose of vitamins and minerals, which will enhance the beneficial effects and simply help your skin get back to normal. You can use the oil in a revitalising massage or bath.
