Praan Naturals Blackcurrant Seed Oil, 15% GLA

Praan Naturals Blackcurrant Seed Oil, 15% GLA are native to the United Kingdom and regions of Europe and Asia. The berries grow on tiny shrubs that reach a height up to 6’ tall. Blackcurrants are traditionally used as a flavoring and as a key ingredient within jams, deserts, syrups and liqueurs. Throughout history, blackcurrants have been used medicinally. The berries are rich in Vitamin C and have been consumed in place of citrus fruits within the UK when citrus fruits have been difficult to procure. In cosmetic and personal care applications, Blackcurrant Seed Oil is becoming more widely sought after. It contains 15% GLA (gamma-Linolenic Acid) and over 70% omega fatty acids necessary for healthy skin and hair. Praan Naturals Blackcurrant Seed Oil is prepared by mechanically cold pressing premium quality blackcurrant seeds. No solvents or chemicals are used to produce the oil. Praan Naturals Blackcurrant Seed Oil is then carefully packaged and stored to maintain the purity, freshness and beneficial properties of this nutritive cold pressed oil.
