Borago Officinalis Seed Oil is generally suitable within the cosmetic uses reviewed. Small studies in infants with seborrhoeic dermatitis are relevant context, but they do not establish an independent benefit for adult seb derm or every borage-containing cosmetic.

All affected infants received particular borage-oil preparations; the checked studies do not provide a randomised treatment comparison. One also found no reduction of Malassezia furfur growth on oil-containing contact plates. That is not proof of feeding or an antifungal benefit. Whole-oil composition separately raises a theoretical screening question. Consider the full product and seek professional advice about persistent symptoms, particularly for a child.
