Borage seed oil is also known as starflower oil. The bright blue, star-shaped flowers (which bloom most of the summer) make borage one of the prettiest herb plants. The plant will grow to a height of about 50cm, and spread about 30cm. This hardy annual has a messy, straggling habit. It is a native of northern Europe, and grows well in New Zealand, where it begins flowering in early spring and may sprawl to a metre wide.
Packaging - See our blog on our commitment to sustainable packaging.
Our carrier oils come in amber glass bottles with 28mm neck in volumes:
30ml, 50ml, 100ml, *250ml.
Larger volumes must be packaged in plastic as glass becomes too dangerous to ship.
500ml: Amber PET plastic bottle with 28mm neck.
1L and 5L: PET white plastic jerrycans.
*on occasion, i.e. when ordered alone, 250ml may be packaged in PET amber plastic to save on shipping costs.
