Borage seed oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the borage plant (Borago officinalis) and contains the highest natural concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) of any plant oil — an omega-6 fatty acid the skin uses to maintain its barrier.
Brewoil's borage oil is cold-pressed and lab-verified so its delicate GLA content is preserved.
Thanks to its rich GLA content, borage oil is a favourite for calming dry, reactive and irritation-prone skin, supporting the barrier, and improving softness and comfort. It is often chosen by people with very dry or mature skin who need extra replenishment.
A few drops mixed into your night routine deliver targeted nourishment where heavier creams can't.
Press two to three drops onto clean, slightly damp skin at night, or add a drop to your usual moisturiser. Because it is a richer oil, a small amount is enough. Store in a cool, dark place to protect the fatty acids.
Borage suits dry, mature, sensitive and barrier-compromised skin. Patch test before first use, and consult a doctor for any persistent skin condition.
