Borage Oil sits in our formulas for one job: feeding and reinforcing the skin barrier. We file it under Nourishing in this glossary because that is the effect its evidence actually supports, not because it is the most flattering label available.

Comfort in the omega

The mechanism is the one stated in the summary above, and we have deliberately not extended it. Where a supplier or a competitor would reach for a bigger promise, the sentence we publish stops where the research stops.

Comfort in the evidence

Our source is a randomised controlled trial published in an indexed journal, recorded as CIR 2017 Burnett plant-derived fatty acid oils SAFE AS USED. We grade that as the strongest kind of evidence we recognise.

Comfort and its limits

The research behind Borage Oil studies the ingredient, not the finished Opuliss product it sits in. It supports what Borage Oil does. It is not a trial of our formula, and we will not present it as one.

Cosmetic claims describe how skin looks and feels. Nothing here is a medical claim, and nothing here treats a condition.
