For a soothing body balm formulation, melt a teaspoon of olive oil cream, a tablespoon of borage oil, 2 tablespoons of Coconut Oil, and 1/2 – 1 tablespoon of Grated Beeswax in a double boiler. After the mixture boils, pour the mixture into an airtight container and let it cool.

Borage Oil is widely used in the manufacture of skin care products and by massage therapists. The oil is used to moisturize the skin. It acts as an anti-aging oil that moisturizes the skin. Massage therapists use oil to relieve stress, relax the body and mind, and soothe tense muscles.

When a small amount (10% or less) of borage oil is added to other carrier oils, borage oil supports and increases the potential of the skin care product it is mixed with.

You can make a relaxing massage oil by mixing 1 tablespoon of Jojoba Oil, 1 tablespoon of Sweet Almond Oil, ½ tablespoon of Olive Oil, and ½ tablespoon of Borage Oil.

For a nice refreshing facial serum mix, mix ¼ tablespoons Rosehip Oil, 2 tablespoons Jojoba Carrier Oil, ¼ tablespoon Borage Oil, 8 drops Lavender Oil, and 1 drop Ylang Ylang Oil.
