The richness in polyunsaturated fatty acids, in particular gamma-linolenic acid and vitamins A, D, E and K, gives borage oil a remarkable restorative power. Its revitalizing and anti-wrinkle properties ensure suppleness and elasticity to devitalized skin, and prevent slackening and aging of the epidermis. It is ideal on dry, wrinkled or mature skin.
It is also used to repair dry hair and restore vitality to dull hair. It strengthens brittle nails thanks to its fortifying action and helps fight against stretch marks.

FAQ
How are pure oils stored?
Pure plant oils should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. You don’t need to put them in the fridge.
Our cases are also present to protect our oils and especially their properties, guaranteeing them a better and longer conservation.
How to know the optimal use-by date?
The DLUO (optimal use-by date) is present on the case as well as on the product label.
What’s a first cold-pressed oil?
A pure oil is obtained by the first cold pressing of carefully selected seeds, nuts, etc. Cold pressing is a mechanical extraction method that is carried out at low temperature, thus preserving all the properties and requiring no additives. This extraction method gives a pure and real oleaginous “fruit juice”.
What is the difference between an oil extracted by first cold pressing and an oily macerate?
Some plants cannot produce oil by first cold pressing extraction. We then speak of oily macerates: part of the fresh or dry plant (flowers, fruits, leaves, etc.) macerates for several weeks in a neutral vegetable oil such as sunflower oil. The preparation is then filtered and makes it possible to obtain a pure oil enriched with the active ingredients contained in the plant.
How to recognize a quality pure plant oil?
There are many qualities of pure oils. In order to guarantee impeccable quality, it is sufficient to check whether the oil is:
• Virgin: this means that the oil has not undergone any treatment before or after pressing, it is a pure oil which has simply been filtered to remove any impurities.
• Extracted by first cold pressing or oily macerate.
• Certified ORGANIC: certification by the Ecocert organization and labeling by Cosmébio and Cosmos guarantees that the plant from which the oil originates has been produced according to the principles of Organic Agriculture, and that it does not there is no phytosanitary product in it.
All our pure oils are subject to rigorous analyzes before being put on sale (visual, olfactory, tactile, chromatographic and pesticide) to provide you with oils of irreproachable quality.
Why can the colors/odors of the oils vary?
Our pure oils may present olfactory and/or visual variations from one batch to another. As our oils are natural, pure and not modified, their color and smell vary according to the environmental factors during the harvest such as the climatic and geographical conditions (sunshine, humidity, exposure, altitude, nature of the soil, etc.). This does not modify their intrinsic properties in any way. These visual/olfactory variations from one batch to another are therefore the result of total naturalness and in no way harm our vegetable oils. All our pure plant oils are subject to rigorous analyzes before being put on sale (visual, olfactory, tactile, chromatographic and pesticide) to provide you with oils of irreproachable quality.
Can I ingest this vegetable oil?
Our vegetable oils are intended for cosmetic use only.
