Blackcurrant Seed Oil is rich in gamma-linolenic acid, an important ingredient for maintaining the elasticity of the skin. Some individuals, most especially those with diabetes or high cholesterol are not able to convert linoleic acid into necessary gamma-linolenic acid. Gamma-linolenic acid is not common to many oils. Blackcurrant Seed Oil contains up to 15% GLA. Blackcurrant Seed Oil can be an effective addition to formulations for dry, devitalized, damaged and aging skin. It is also excellent in products for sensitive skin, eczema or psoriasis. Blackcurrant Seed Oil is also reported to boost the immune system, act as an anti-inflammatory and may be an effective addition to formulations intended to ease muscular and joint aches and pains. Blackcurrant Seed Oil can be used in any proportion within skin care, hair care, baby care and sun care products.

Thank you FNWL! My search is finally over. Your Blackcurrant Oil is the best oil I have EVER used. I have extremely sensitive skin and I live in the desert, so I need something highly moisturizing and non irritating. Since using Blackcurrant Oil, my wrinkles have started to disappear. My skin is always moisturized, and I never have irritated skin. This oil truly is a 5 star product.
