Softening, nourishing: Borage oil is very rich in essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid (30 to 48%). This omega-6 fatty acid plays an important role in the production of cell membranes in the skin, and is also involved in the composition of ceramides. Ceramides form a protective layer of the skin to help prevent dehydration and protect it from external aggressions (pollution, dust, sun, cold). Thus, Borage oil helps strengthen the skin's hydrolipidic film. It also helps keep it hydrated and healthy by restoring suppleness and elasticity.

Skin regenerating: borage oil contains vitamins A, D, E and K and nutrients, allowing it to have an important antioxidant and cell regeneration action. Indeed, vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps protect the skin against oxidative stress and slows down skin aging.

Anti-inflammatory: Thanks to its high content of gamma-linolenic acid (17 to 27% depending on the extraction process), Borage oil has powerful anti-inflammatory activity. Indeed, gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6 fatty acid) stimulates the synthesis of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), an anti-inflammatory hormone, and inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a pro-inflammatory hormone. .
