Borage seed oil, rich in gamma-linolenic acid, used in our formulas for the skin barrier. Its source is a safety assessment, which speaks to its safety in cosmetics, not to a measured effect on how skin looks.

Comfort in the formula

Borage Oil sits in our formulas for one job: feeding and reinforcing the skin barrier. We file it under Nourishing in this glossary for the job we use it for, and the evidence section below says how far its source goes.

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 safety assessment or regulatory listing, recorded as CIR 2017 Burnett plant-derived fatty acid oils SAFE AS USED. We grade that as a safety and status source rather than an efficacy one.

Comfort and its limits

The research behind Borage Oil studies the ingredient, not the finished Opuliss product it sits in. 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.
