Borage seed oil is a carrier oil extracted from the seeds of the borage plant. It is high in essential fatty acids, particularly gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) an omega-6 fatty acid and linoleic acid (LA) an omega-6 fatty acid. It is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and it's often used to help with skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and rosacea. It is also used to improve skin elasticity, hydration, and overall skin health. It's also used as a dietary supplement to help balance hormones and reduce symptoms of PMS and menopause. Borage oil is typically used in skincare products and it can be also added to other carrier oils to make a blend. It is considered safe for most people when used topically and internally, but it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before using it internally as large doses may cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and other adverse effects
