GLA is needed by the body to make prostaglandins which are an essential part of the repair and maintenance actions of the body. With good levels of GLA, the skin is more tolerant to sunlight daily, and the skin heals quicker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe oil has 0.5% Vitamin E (Tocopherol) added as an antioxidant, reducing the potential oxidation of the organic borage oil while in the bottle.
