Borage Oil as per Food, Pharma, and Cosmetic Grade:

Borage Oil, extracted from the seeds of Borago officinalis, is a premium-quality carrier oil renowned for its exceptionally high content of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA). This essential fatty acid is known for its potent anti-inflammatory and skin-rejuvenating properties. Sourced from carefully cultivated plants primarily found in the Mediterranean region, our BP Grade Borage Oil meets the stringent standards of the British Pharmacopoeia, ensuring purity, consistency, and safety for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical applications.

Overview & Historical Background:

Borage (Borago officinalis), a Mediterranean herb, has been cultivated since the 18th century and was originally used as a pot herb. The plant, known for its edible cucumber-flavoured leaves and beautiful blue star-shaped flowers, is now widely grown across Europe and other temperate zones.

The seeds of this plant are a rich source of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA)—a powerful omega-6 fatty acid known for its anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties.

 Extraction Process (How It’s Made):

Our Borage Oil is extracted using the cold-pressed method, where seeds are mechanically crushed without heat or chemical solvents. This preserves the purity and potency of the oil, delivering the highest therapeutic and nutritional value.
