Product Description

Blackcurrant Seed Oil (CAS 68606-81-5) is naturally rich in Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA, 15–20%), one of the highest natural plant sources alongside evening primrose and borage oils. GLA is an essential omega-6 fatty acid that supports hormonal balance, skin health, and immune function. Combined with significant levels of linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and vitamin E, Blackcurrant Seed Oil serves as a versatile ingredient in anti-aging cosmetics, women’s health supplements, and skin care products. Taima’s commitment to quality, traceability, and regulatory compliance makes us a trusted global supplier to over 50 countries.
Functions & Benefits
Rich in GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid) — Blackcurrant Seed Oil contains 15–20% GLA, one of the highest concentrations among plant-based oils. GLA is a critical omega-6 fatty acid that the body converts into anti-inflammatory prostaglandins, supporting hormonal regulation, skin hydration, and immune response.
Skin Health & Repair — The oil’s unique combination of GLA, linoleic acid, and vitamin E reinforces the skin barrier, improves moisture retention, and soothes irritated or sensitive skin. It is particularly beneficial for eczema-prone, dry, and mature skin types.
Hormonal Balance Support — GLA supports the production of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), which helps regulate hormonal fluctuations. Blackcurrant Seed Oil is widely used in women’s health supplements for PMS and menopause symptom management.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties — The high GLA and ALA content works synergistically to reduce systemic inflammation, supporting joint health, cardiovascular wellness, and overall inflammatory response modulation.
Cardiovascular Support — Alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) and linoleic acid (omega-6) contribute to healthy cholesterol levels and cardiovascular function, making Blackcurrant Seed Oil a valuable ingredient in heart health formulations.
Antioxidant Protection — Naturally occurring tocopherols (vitamin E), phytosterols, and carotenoids provide robust antioxidant defense against free radical damage, supporting cellular health and anti-aging benefits.
Applications
Dietary Supplements — A premium ingredient in GLA supplements, women’s health capsules, omega-complex softgels, anti-aging formulas, and joint health products. Available in softgel, liquid, and powdered formulations.
Cosmetics & Personal Care — Incorporated into anti-aging serums, moisturizing creams, facial oils, body lotions, and lip care products. Its GLA content makes it ideal for sensitive, dry, and mature skin formulations.
Pharmaceutical Industry — Used as an active ingredient and functional carrier in dermatological preparations, anti-inflammatory therapies, and hormonal regulation formulations.
Functional Foods & Beverages — Utilized as a nutritional oil additive in health drinks, fortified dairy products, nutritional bars, and functional food products delivering omega-3 and omega-6 benefits.
Hair Care Products — Added to scalp treatments, hair serums, and conditioning masks to nourish hair follicles, reduce scalp inflammation, and promote healthy hair growth.
