Borage Oil, 18% GLA, ORG

Borage Oil (18% GLA) is a high-performance botanical lipid prized for its exceptionally high concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)—an omega-6 fatty acid critical for maintaining healthy skin barrier function, elasticity, and inflammatory balance. With one of the highest naturally occurring GLA levels found in plant oils, this ingredient is particularly valued in advanced barrier-repair, sensitive-skin, and anti-inflammatory formulations.

This oil supports compromised, dry, reactive, and mature skin by reinforcing the lipid matrix, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and promoting a calmer, more resilient complexion. Its nutrient-dense profile makes it an excellent choice for both leave-on skincare and therapeutic body care formulations.

Why Formulators Choose Borage Oil (18% GLA)

GLA plays a crucial role in epidermal health but is often deficient in compromised or aging skin. Borage Oil delivers GLA in its most bioavailable lipid form, making it an effective functional oil rather than a simple emollient. It integrates seamlessly into modern formulations focused on barrier science, skin recovery, and inflammation control.
