Borage Oil

Borage Oil is a cold-pressed carrier oil from the seeds of Borago officinalis, the starflower. Its claim to fame is simple and real: it is the richest common source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid, carrying more of it – around a quarter of the oil – than even evening primrose oil. That makes it a rich, conditioning oil, particularly suited to dry and mature skin.

We supply it as a cosmetic oil for external use on the skin and hair, not as something to be taken by mouth. It is a mild, light oil that sinks in without a greasy film, and we keep it pyrrolizidine-alkaloid-free, which is the safety standard for borage. One honest point matters with this oil: all that GLA makes it lovely on the skin but quick to oxidise, so it is best kept cool and dark and used within about a year. Imported from where borage grows and bottled in India, it ships in bulk with a certificate of analysis for every batch.

Borage Oil Benefits

Softens Skin

Borage oil is rich in fatty acids, so worked into the skin it softens the rough, flaky patches that dryness leaves behind and makes the surface feel smoother and more comfortable. It is a conditioning oil rather than a light everyday one, which is why dry skin takes to it, especially in cold or dry weather.

Mature Skin

Because it is so rich in GLA, borage oil is one of the more replenishing oils you can put on skin, which is why it has a following for dry and mature skin that a lighter oil leaves wanting. It sits in and leaves the skin feeling soft, cushioned and less tight through the day.

Sinks In Quickly

For a rich oil, borage is surprisingly light: a few drops spread easily and sink in without leaving a heavy, greasy film on top. That makes it comfortable to wear under other products or overnight, and easy to work into a face oil or serum where a thicker oil would feel too much.

Conditions Dry Hair

Smoothed sparingly through the lengths, borage oil coats dry or coarse hair, softening the roughness and adding shine. A little on the ends, or as a pre-wash treatment, is enough; it works best rinsed out or on the ends rather than left heavily in fine hair, and its mild scent sits quietly under a fragrance.

Borage Oil Uses

Face Creams

Borage oil's rich, GLA-heavy character makes it a natural fit for creams and lotions built for dry, rough or mature skin, where it adds richness and a replenished feel. It is easy to blend but oxidation-prone, so pair it with a tocopherol antioxidant and work it into the oil phase of the formula.

Skincare Products

In face oils and serums it can be used on its own or as a portion of a blend, usually at two to ten per cent, bringing its GLA to a dry-skin formula. It is light for a rich oil, so it suits leave-on products, and it pairs well with rosehip, jojoba and evening primrose oils.

Hair Care Products

In conditioners, masks and pre-wash treatments, borage oil conditions dry or coarse hair and adds shine, usually at one to five per cent. Its fatty acids smooth the hair surface; it works best in rinse-off products or on the ends rather than left heavily in fine hair, and its mild scent sits under a fragrance.

Cosmetic Products

Handle borage oil as a high-GLA, high-PUFA fixed oil: it joins the oil phase before emulsification, needs an emulsifier for anything water-based, and oxidises faster than most oils, so an antioxidant and cool storage are essential. Keep it pyrrolizidine-alkaloid-free for safety, and label it as Borago Officinalis Seed Oil.

Raasa Oils: Your Trusted Bulk Supplier & Manufacturer of Borage Oil

We import and supply at bulk scale. Borage is a temperate-climate crop rather than an Indian one, so we import the oil from Canada and supply it in bulk, bottled in India. That means you deal with people who handle the drum and can trace a consignment to its batch and its certificate, rather than a made-up local origin.

From a sample to a production run. Pack sizes run from a hundred millilitres to ten kilograms, and we fill to order beyond that. Take a small pack first, put it through your own formulation and stability work, and scale to drums once it behaves the way you need.

Documented, and PA-free. Every batch ships with a certificate of analysis, a safety data sheet and a technical data sheet. Because borage can naturally carry pyrrolizidine alkaloids, ask for the PA-free confirmation — and, on this oil, the GLA figure and the peroxide value are the two rows worth checking.

Sold as what it is. Borage oil is a GLA-rich cosmetic conditioning oil for external use, not a supplement or a medicine. It is oxidation-prone, so we are honest that it wants cool storage and a shorter shelf life than a stable oil — we would rather tell you than have it disappoint your lab.

Certified, and reachable. We hold ISO and GMP certification and supply both Indian manufacturers and export buyers. Whatever you are making, a real person here answers a formulation question rather than routing you to a form.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes borage oil special?

It is the richest common source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid — around a quarter of the oil, more than evening primrose oil. That makes it a rich, conditioning oil, especially for dry and mature skin.

Can I take Borage Oil as a supplement or eat it?

No, we supply borage oil as a cosmetic for external use on the skin and hair only; it is not sold to be taken by mouth.

Is your borage oil PA-free?

Yes, Borage can naturally contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids, so we supply it pyrrolizidine-alkaloid-free, and the certificate of analysis confirms it for each batch.

How do I use Borage Oil on skin and hair?

On skin, a few drops directly, or two to ten per cent in a cream or serum; in hair products, one to five per cent. It suits dry and mature skin best.

How long does borage oil keep?

It is high in GLA and oxidises faster than most oils, so keep it cool, dark and sealed and use it within about a year. An antioxidant in a formula helps it last.

Can I order a sample before committing to bulk?

Yes, take a small pack, run it through your own formulation and stability testing, and scale up to drums once you are satisfied it behaves the way you need.

Disclaimer

Borage Oil is a cosmetic oil for external use on the skin and hair only. Despite its reputation as a supplement, we do not supply it to be eaten, and nothing here is medical advice or a treatment claim. If pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication, ask a professional before use.

Caution

Patch test before first use: apply a little to the inner forearm and wait a day. For skincare, a few drops suit dry or mature skin; keep away from the eyes and do not swallow. Store cool, dark and sealed, and use within about a year, as it oxidises quickly.
