## About this gift

Borage oil is a cold pressed base oil for anyone who likes to mix their own blends. Also called starflower oil, it comes in 50ml or 100ml, so you can pick the size that suits them.

The 50ml is light yellow with very little scent, and it feels thin to medium and somewhat oily. The 100ml is golden yellow with very little odour and a slightly thick texture, and it is great for use with essential oils and other carrier oils. Both are sourced from Europe, cold pressed from seeds, and have a shelf life of 1 year.

Mixing their own oils is easier with a generous 100ml base, so it's a fine pick for birthdays and spa days. Pick the 50ml for a first bottle or the 100ml for bigger blends.
