Description
Organic Starflower Seed Oil
Organic Starflower Seed Oil is also known as Organic Borage Seed Oil, which is a virgin cold press seed oil. The full official name of this oil is Organic Starflower Seed Virgin CP or Organic Borage Seed Virgin CP.
The term Virgin indicates that Starflower Seeds have had their oil expressed without the use of any heat or chemicals, and that the resultant oil is pure and unrefined.
Organic Starflower Seed Oil For Skincare
Organic Starflower Seed Oil contains high levels of Essential Fatty Acids, or EFA’s, making it exceptionally moisturising.

- Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) (Omega-6)
- Linoleic Acid (Omega-6)
- Oleic Acid (Omega-9)
- Stearic Acid (Saturated fat as found in Tallow)
- Palmitic Acid (Omega-7)
These constituents make Organic Starflower Seed Oil highly nourishing, especially for those with dry skin.

Suitability
Organic Starflower Seed Oil is suitable for all skin types and is especially helpful for mature and problematic skin.
The comedogenic value of Organic Starflower Seed Oil is low, which means it is lighter than many other oils. This means that it absorbs well without blocking pores.
Organic Starflower Seed Oil is often referred to as a ‘dry oil’ since it absorbs very quickly and easily. The resultant texture of the skin is increased plumpness, firmness and moisturisation with feather-light surface residue.
Substitute Oils
Useful alternatives to Organic Starflower Seed Oil include Blackcurrant Seed Oil, Evening Primrose Oil and Raspberry Seed Oil, although any of the seed and nut oils are tremendously beneficial.

Contraindications
If you have sensitive skin, or if you do a lot of sun bathing, there’s a very remote chance you may have a slight reaction to this Wild As The Wind oil.
It is always advisable to perform a patch test on the soft skin on the inside of your forearm before using carrier oils on your face.
Perform A Patch Test
Place a drop or two of Wild As The Wind oil on your inner forearm, making sure to massage it well into your skin.
A severe reaction will occur within ten minutes, but it may take 24 hours for milder intolerances to emerge.
Look for signs of Urticaria, (aka Hives), discolouration, redness, dryness, or feelings of irritation / itchiness.
If you experience none of these, you will be safe to use your Wild As The Wind oil elsewhere on your body, including your face.
Nevertheless, always avoid sensitive areas and inside your ears unless otherwise instructed by your health professional. This is especially important if you use your Wild As The Wind oil as a carrier oil for a number of Organic Essential Oils.
