Virgin borage oil can be used internally (on its own or blended with other oils) for
(e.g. seasoning) or externally (massage, friction).
Its richness lies in gamma-linolenic acid (~20%), which is said to be essential because it is rarely found in nature and is not synthesized by the body.
Additional internal and external intake is therefore highly recommended; this fatty acid
essential for maintaining the structure of the cell membrane. As a result, it helps to maintain
skin suppleness and beauty. These fatty acids are essential for the formation and renewal of certain
so-called short-lived regulatory substances (in particular prostaglandin E1) which continuously control
cell activity.
Virgin borage oil limits water loss in the upper layers of the skin (anti-aging effect) and the development of eczema. It enhances the action of zinc in acne care, helps dry, rough damaged skin and promotes healing thanks to its important regenerative properties. Recommended for devitalized, tired or wrinkled skin.
