Cold-pressed organic borage seed oil is made from the seeds of the Borago officinalis plant, a flowering herb native to the Mediterranean. For centuries, borage has been grown for its tasty leaves and striking blue blossoms, while its seeds have been prized for their rich oil. Today, borage seed oil is a popular addition to skincare and haircare products thanks to its distinctive fatty acid profile.
Typical Fatty Acid Profile: Linoleic: 30 – 45%, Gamma-linolenic: 17 – 19%, Oleic: 14 – 22%, Palmitic: 9 – 12%, Stearic: 2 – 6%

Borage is native to the Mediterranean Middle Eastern region, though it has become naturalized in many other locales it has a higher quality. In Israel, the flowers and seed oil are often used to flavor pickled vegetables and to decorate both desserts and savory dishes, often paired with the zuta lavana herb, also known as white savory hyssop.
