Borage Oil is a little known secret for keeping your skin healthy. It is a naturally occurring oil that not only restores moisture and smoothness to dry and damaged skin, but can also provide relief to people who suffer from chronic skin disorders such as eczema and atopic dermatitis.
You probably already know there is a strong link between diabetes and chronic dry skin problems, but do you know why? And do you know there may be something you can do about it?
Rooibos, a shrub which grows only in a small region of South Aftrica, has a long history of consumption as a tea that is high in antioxidants and minerals. However, rooibos extract, when topically applied has recently been shown to help reduce itchy skin, eczema, sunburns, diaper rash and acne. Rooibos extract is used in our Borage Therapy Advanced Formula Lotion to help relieve itching and redness.
BORAGE
Borago Officinalis is a well known herb which can be found in almost all temperate regions of the world. We use borage oil in our ShiKai Signature Everyday Conditioner as a moisturizer for the hair and scalp.
SHEA BUTTER
Shea butter is a vegetable fat derived from the nut of the fruit of the African shea tree. It absorbs quickly into the skin and has good water-binding properties, so it is an excellent moisturizer. It also forms a breathable, water-resistant barrier which serves to protect the skin. Shea butter is used in Borage Therapy Lotions and Creams, ShiKai Hand & body Lotions and Color Reflect Daily Moisture and Intensive Repair Conditioners.
OATMEAL
Oatmeal acts as a moisturizer by attracting and holding water on the skin’s surface. In addition, protein components, such as cellulose and fiber, anchor moisturizers for long lasting action which results in softer, more elastic skin. Oatmeal can also soothe the skin and help reduce redness and itching.
WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
“As a guy with fingers that crack in dry, cold weather, I’m grateful that this stuff works like magic.”

“I’ve been using this lotion for four months now, and I must say that is has been amazing. I started off using it on my eczema-prone legs once a day after showering. Now, I only use it a few times a week. The results have been outstanding…. I am truly shocked that this lotion has worked better than my eczema medication prescribed by my doctor. This is a must-have for anyone with dry, sensitive skin!”
L.J.
“I love this product. It soaks in quickly and my skin feels soft as a baby’s. I have periodic bouts of eczema on my hands, and this seems to keep it at bay.”
