Borage Dry Skin Therapy is a natural and effective way to relieve chronic dry skin as well as conditions caused by diabetes and some forms of eczema and atopic dermatitis -- conditions which studies show may be caused by a deficiency of the omega-6 fatty acid, GLA. GLA deficiency is a common occurance and affects an estimated 1 out of every 3 individuals.
Borage Dry Skin Therapy contains borage oil which has been clinically proven to supply the skin with GLA and relieve the symptoms of many chronic skin problems.

RESEARCH DATA
It is estimated that 1 in 3 people experience persistent and recurring dry skin, often throughout their lives. Why is this?
According to well-documented clinical research, dry skin can occur as a result of an impaired ability to manufacture gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an OMEGA-6 fatty acid crucial in the development of healthy skin cells. Used for a number of key functions throughout the body, GLA is a building block in the formation of cell membranes. Without it, skin cell membranes are unable to retain adequate moisture levels, resulting in dry skin.
Gamma-linolenic acid is a "good" OMEGA-6 fat that the human body is fully capable of producing for itself, under normal circumstances. The creation of GLA within the body begins with linoleic acid (LA), an essential fatty acid that we get in our diets. Generally, the body has a plentiful supply of linoleic acid since it is commonly found in almost all edible vegetable oils. Once inside the body, linoleic acid is acted upon by a key enzyme called delta-6-desaturase (D6D), which biochemically converts LA into GLA.
Without D6D, the body would not be able to manufacture GLA, regardless of how much linoleic acid was present. From that point, GLA is further converted, via a sequence of biochemical steps, into
an extremely important compound called prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). This molecule acts as a potent anti-inflammatory on the skin, is key in regulating water loss, and protects skin cells from injury and damage.
The D6D enzyme, which catalyzes the conversion of LA into GLA, is often referred to as a "lazy" enzyme. That is to say, it can be slow in doing its job, and under some conditions may actually be impaired. Evidence strongly suggests that a reduction in the activity of the D6D enzyme, resulting in decreased synthesis of PGE1, may be responsible for dry skin and transepidermal water loss.
Although the body is unable to manufacture GLA without D6D, there are other ways of providing the body with the steady supply of GLA that it needs – oral supplements and topical application being the two main ones. Studies have shown that topically applied GLA has a positive impact on chronic dry skin and other skin conditions. Topical application of GLA circumvents the issue of impaired, or altogether absent D6D levels, by introducing the OMEGA-6 fatty acid directly into the body, where it undergoes its normal conversion into PGE1. From that point forward, PGE1 assumes its role in anti-inflammatory and water-retention functions.
Borage oil is the richest known source of GLA (24%). This oil is extracted from the seeds of the borage plant (borago officinalis), a wildflower commonly known as the blue starflower and used for thousands of years for its medicinal qualities. Because of its exceptional concentration of GLA, borage oil is used as the fundamental ingredient in all ShiKai Borage Therapy formulations.
