Borage Oil - Borago Officinalis

Borage oil has in recent years caused a revolution in nutritional therapeutics. It has been found to be one of the richest sources of essential fatty acids known to humans having one of the highest gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content of any known plant. GLA is part of an essential fatty acid that the body requires to repair itself.

Borage is grown annually on the company’s estate and Statfold's oil is cold-pressed from the finest and cleanest seeds with a typical gamma-linolenic acid level of minimum 22% and can be supplied organic or non-organic as required.

Borage oil is regarded as a premium oil for use in the more prestigious cosmetic preparations. It has a high concentration of essential fatty acids for nourishing and reinforcing the cell tissues and membranes, preserving the humidity and preventing the ageing of the skin.
