BORAGE OIL
Protective, revitalizing, firming!
Borage oil has been recommended for many years for its benefits to the skin, both internally and externally. This oil is especially indicated for restoring skin nutrition and suppleness. Its edible, blue, starry flowers are used in cooking to add colour and a touch of spring to dishes. Borage oil, obtained by cold pressing, is very rich in fatty acids and can be used to care for mature skin as well as brittle hair and nails.
