Product Overview
Borage oil is pressed from the seeds of Borago officinalis, a flowering herb, and is notable for having one of the highest naturally occurring concentrations of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) of any commercially available plant oil, typically exceeding the GLA levels found in evening primrose oil. The seed oil is extracted, refined to remove naturally occurring pyrrolizidine alkaloids to food-grade safety standards, and encapsulated in softgels to protect the fatty acids from oxidation.
Because of its concentrated GLA content, borage oil is commonly formulated as a source of essential fatty acids that support normal skin structure and general wellness, often at a lower per-softgel dose than evening primrose oil due to its higher potency.*
How Brands Use Borage Oil
- Formulated as a higher-potency GLA alternative to evening primrose oil in fewer softgels per serving
- Positioned within skin, hair, and nails support lines
- Combined with fish oil or flaxseed oil for a broader omega fatty acid softgel
- Marketed to women's health audiences seeking hormonal and cycle-related wellness support
- Sold as a plant-based GLA source for brands avoiding fish-derived ingredients
Because borage oil naturally contains trace pyrrolizidine alkaloids before refining, private label buyers should confirm that the source oil is refined to recognized safety limits and request supporting documentation. Health Genesis can adjust softgel size and GLA concentration per serving to match a brand's target label claim.
Health Genesis Corporation encapsulates borage oil softgels at our FDA-registered, GMP-certified, NSF-certified facility in Davie, Florida. As a family-owned manufacturer with more than 25 years in nutritional oil production, we offer low minimum order quantities and in-house label design so brands can add a high-potency GLA product to their skin and women's health lines.
Is your borage oil refined for pyrrolizidine alkaloid safety?
Yes, our borage oil is refined to recognized safety limits for pyrrolizidine alkaloids, and documentation is available as part of your product's certificate of analysis.
How does borage oil compare to evening primrose oil for GLA content?
Borage oil typically provides a higher concentration of GLA per gram than evening primrose oil, which allows for a comparable GLA dose in a smaller or fewer number of softgels.
What is the minimum order quantity for private label borage oil?
We keep minimum order quantities accessible for borage oil softgels, making it a practical addition for brands building out a skin or women's health category.
