- HIGHLIGHTS
Linoleic acid (omega-6) is an essential fatty acid that the body cannot synthesize. It is known for the important role it plays in the structure of cell membranes. This oil reduces transepidermal water loss by restoring the hydrolipidic film. Gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6) modulates skin inflammation and reduces irritation.. Borage oil has regenerating properties, acting as an excellent skin moisturizer and fighting against skin aging. Borage oil is used in the cosmetic industry in skin care, make-up removers, face lotions, day creams, massage oils, hair products, and in nutraceuticals as a nutritional supplement (gel caps).
