Borage oil (Borago officinalis) is one of the richest plant oils in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), containing up to 24%. Your skin naturally produces less of this fatty acid as you get older.
It is suitable for very dry, mature, and atopic-prone skin. It strengthens the skin barrier, soothes discomfort and tightness, and restores suppleness and density to the skin.
