Description
Derived from the seeds of Borago officinalis, organic virgin borage oil is extracted through first cold pressing to preserve its richness in gamma-linolenic acid. This gentle process yields a fluid, stable, and unrefined oil, highly valued for its cosmetic properties.
Used in formulations for mature, dry, or weakened skin, it nourishes, protects, and restores suppleness to the epidermis. Its dry touch makes it easy to incorporate into natural creams, lotions, serums, or hair care products.
A versatile botanical ingredient, known for its unique composition and comfortable application.

Production
Harvest
Native to the Mediterranean basin, borage (Borago officinalis) is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the Boraginaceae family. Cultivated since ancient times, it naturally grows in fallow lands or rich soils in temperate regions. Today, it is well-established in Europe.
The vegetable oil is obtained from the seeds, which are harvested at maturity, then carefully cleaned and sorted. These seeds are rich in essential fatty acids, particularly gamma-linolenic acid, an omega-6 highly sought after in cosmetic formulations.
Manufacturing
We source our organic virgin borage oil from a carefully selected distributor partner known for the quality of its supply chains. The oil is obtained from Borago officinalis seeds, grown using organic farming practices and harvested at full maturity.
The extraction process relies on cold pressing, following these steps:
Cleaning and sorting of the seeds: The seeds are free from impurities to ensure the purity of the resulting oil.
Cold mechanical pressing: The seeds are slowly pressed without raising the temperature, preserving the integrity of the heat-sensitive fatty acids.
Natural filtration: The oil is then filtered to remove residual particles, while retaining its nutritional richness.
Storage: The oil is kept away from air and light to prevent oxidation, ensuring its stability and quality.
This gentle method results in a pure, stable, unrefined oil that retains all of its naturally occurring compounds. It stands out for its high content of unsaturated fatty acids.
