Borage Seed Carrier Oil Cold Pressed 100ml

Golden and quietly scented, this borage seed carrier oil brings a richer, slightly thick feel to blending, massage and simple skincare rituals. It is made for slow, tactile mixing, the kind of oil you reach for when a formula needs more body without a strong aroma.

Golden character, soft aroma

• The colour is golden yellow, giving blends a warm, natural tone in the palm.
• Its scent is very light, so it sits quietly beneath essential oils rather than competing with them.
• The texture is slightly thick, better suited to richer blends than a very fast-slip body oil.
• It works well in small-batch face oils, moisturising blends and massage preparations.
• Use it when you want a base oil with presence, especially in colder-season skincare rituals.

From borage seed, cold pressed

The oil is obtained from the seeds of Borago officinalis, the borage plant, also known as starflower. Borage is native to the eastern Mediterranean region and is now cultivated in many parts of the world, particularly in Europe and North America. This oil is cold pressed, a method that uses pressure rather than high heat to draw oil from the seed.

How to blend and use it

Use as a base oil for essential oil blends, or mix with other carrier oils to adjust texture and glide. For facial or body use, apply a small amount to clean skin, or blend it into your own serum-style oil or moisturising preparation.

Because the aroma is very subtle, it is a good choice when you want the scent of added essential oils to stay clear. Store closed, away from heat and direct light, and use within the stated shelf life.

A seed oil with quiet depth

Borage has a long botanical story around the Mediterranean, where its star-shaped blue flowers gave rise to the common name starflower. Rather than a lightweight everyday slip oil, it brings a more substantial feel, which makes it useful in thoughtful blends where texture matters as much as scent.

Common questions

Is this an essential oil?
No. It is a carrier oil, also called a base oil, used on its own or to dilute essential oils before they are applied to the skin.

Is borage oil the same as starflower oil?
Yes. Borage is commonly known as starflower, so the names are often used for oil from the same plant, Borago officinalis.
