The Starflower Makes Your Skin the Star

Borage is a wildflower known as the starflower, due to its star-shaped blue flower, and it is found growing wild all over the world. For over 1,500 years it has been used as an herb, as well as for medicinal and culinary purposes.

Borage is not harvested for its leaves but for the oil found in its seeds. Borage seed oil is the richest known source of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), which is a fatty acid that is essential for human health. Borage oil also contains macronutrients, as well as vitamins A and C, niacin, thiamin, vitamin B, and additionally contains proteins, fiber, and minerals.

Borage Oil Benefits

When you use it topically, borage oil has great benefits for chronic skin conditions, dry skin, and acne.

Helps with Chronic Skin Conditions

One study found that GLA can enhance deficiencies in skin oils. If you don’t have enough fatty acids in your diet that are essential for skin health, borage seed oil may be used as a natural remedy for eczema and psoriasis.

Relives Dry Skin

Borage seed oil is a rich moisturizer that can hydrate dry skin to healthy moisture levels, and help maintain a moisture barrier for the skin

Acne and Rosacea

The GLA in borage oil helps combat the inflammation in acne and rosacea skin conditions. Borage oil is thought to be particularly helpful with acne because its fatty acids help dilute sebum according to this study. People with acne tend to have too much sebum which is a contributing factor in acne.
