Features & Benefits

Product Features

In particular, it has an excellent ratio of Linoleic Acid (Omega 6, LA) to Alpha Linolenic Acid (Omega 3, ALA), and also contains Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), and Stearidonic Acid (SDA), thus providing all four of these targeted EFA’s naturally - without any complicated blending. Cold Pressed Blackcurrant Seed Oil is used as a nutritional supplement as well as an ingredient in skincare products. Its high GLA content makes it an effective anti-inflammatory and it is especially useful in the treatment of dry, damaged, sensitive, and aging skin.  It also assists with the protection of the cardiovascular system and promotes a strong immune system.
