An ideal oil for mature women and skin in pain. Its slightly higher-than-average price is due to the plant's low yield, but it is commensurate with its outstanding dermo-cosmetic effects. Also used as a dietary supplement(menopause, menstruation, arthritis...), it will delight the most demanding. Forgotten in our gardens, borage's precious seeds are a treasure trove for health and beauty. Non-greasy, it's ideal for discovering the softening and soothing effects of plant oils, whether you're a beginner or a fan of advanced dermo-cosmetics.
Borage vegetable oil is particularly suited to the needs of mature skin. Rich in essential fatty acids, notably gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), it helps regenerate skin, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and improve skin elasticity. Its nourishing and moisturizing action makes it an invaluable ally in combating the signs of skin aging and maintaining radiant, revitalized skin.
Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, borage vegetable oil is also beneficial for people suffering fromeczema, psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions. Applied topically, it helps calm itching, reduce redness and promote healing of skin lesions. Regular use can help relieve the symptoms of these skin disorders and improve skin comfort.
Some women suffer from premenstrual syndrome (PMS), characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, breast tension and mood swings. Borage vegetable oil can help relieve these symptoms, thanks to its hormone-regulating and anti-inflammatory properties. In conjunction with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, it can help alleviate the discomforts associated with the menstrual cycle.
As a dietary supplement, borage vegetable oil can also be beneficial for regulating cholesterol levels and relieving joint pain associated with rheumatism. Its essential fatty acid content helps maintain lipid balance in the blood, while its anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce inflammation and joint pain. It can be consumed in capsule form or added to the diet to take advantage of its health benefits.
