From the manufacturer
Chemistry & Nature
In 1970, Dr. Dennis Sepp, an organic chemist, began exploring natural, ayurvedic ingredients for hair and skincare. Dr.Sepp knew that the natural world offered functional ingredients that were better and safer than conventional chemical ingredients. In his first study, he created a water-soluble extract from shikakai powder—ShiKai shampoo. Now, ShiKai manufactures more than 50 products, sold in premium markets all over the world.

Shikakai: “Fruit for the Hair”
Shikakai, or Acacia Concinna, is a small shrub-like tree, which grows in the warm, dry plains of central India. For centuries the people who have had access to this tree have used its pod-like fruit to clean their hair. At ShiKai, we import this shikakai powder from India and use it as the primary cleansing and sudsing agent in our products. Instead of using it in its raw powdered state however, we make an extract, which preserves the beneficial properties and converts shikakai powder into a water-soluble form. This “ShiKai” extract, as we’ve named it, is used in place of soaps and harsh detergents. Natural!

***********
I really wanted to give this product a 5 star rating, and would have a couple months ago.
I've been using it for several years, and it is almost magical. It really does work, and it works much better than prescription skin lotions that I've tried.
I have a spot on my leg that used to always itch and be dry, and this is the only lotion that would work--much better than Eucerin, a lotion that my doctor prescribed for me. With regular applications of Borage Therapy, the problem of my dry spot has cleared up entirely. I'll also treat my feet with it regularly, and they look baby-soft. It's really a great overall lotion in many respects. I've even used it in unconventional ways by adding about a tablespoon to my shampoo, and it has cleared up dry scalp problems that I often faced in winter's past without causing any side issues.
So, if reading this, it's only fair that you ask why I gave it a 1. There are three main reasons:
1.) The consistency seems to vary, and is never quite right. Often, it seems to congeal somewhat in the valve, and small clumps come out. For a while, the consistency was thinned; and then it came out like a squirt gun, which was worse. Given the benefits of the lotion, however, I'm willing to overlook it.
2.) There is a slight odor, particularly while it's still moist. The odor never really bothered me that much, but friends to whom I've recommended the product did find it annoying and decided not to use it as a result. When it's dry, I don't notice the smell; and, again, am willing to overlook that mild inconvenience.
3.) And this is the biggie: With the latest bottle that I ordered, the cap/push-valve/pump/dispenser was pushed down. In the past, I could just turn it, and it popped up. However, with the most recent one, the dispenser was stuck, and there was nothing that I could do about it. I tried twisting and turning and pushing down, etc., to no avail. I thought maybe there were some instructions for opening this new dispenser-type, for whatever changes were involved, but saw none. When I finally pulled up to see if that would work, the top part just snapped -- not broken, mind you, but simply disconnected. And it would reconnect just fine. But there was no way to get the dispenser to release the lotion through normal pump action, and allow it to function normally. Fortunately, I had the previous bottle still, so I just unscrewed the cap and put the old dispenser on it. And now it works fine with that top. But if I was a first-time buyer, I'd be a little upset, and might have to unscrew the top and squeeze it out otherwise. I find it confusing how this change could pass quality control.
In any case, I will probably still continue to purchase this product again--at least, one more time--because it's the only lotion that I've found that works for me.
I've also recommended it to a relative whose hands were often chafed from his work, and he loves it as well (as do some of his co-workers).
However, I can't express how disappointed I am with the change in the dispenser, which I find extremely annoying. If my next purchase is satisfactory with the pump, I may change my rating.
However, if this problem with the dispenser persists with future purchases, I may have to start looking at other products available.
I ordered this lotion like I've ordered so many others, figuring it's worth a shot and it couldn't hurt. I also ordered borage oil supplements which I started taking orally along with this topical lotion. I am amazed! In the three days I have used this, the redness that has covered basically my entire body is almost completely gone. Open sores are healing up. Peeling/flaking skin has almost completely disappeared. I was very skeptical because this lotion is super thin, very watery. I thought for sure this would be a bust. For the first day or two of using this, I put it on after my shower and applied Sween cream and/or Cetaphil over the top. After a couple days, I only needed to apply this without the additional lotion on top. My skin still gets a bit dry by the end of the day, but I take a quick rinse in the shower in the evening and apply a second coat before bed and I feel a huge amount of relief. The itching is not gone, but it is MUCH more manageable and the appearance of my skin is vastly, vastly improved. I feel normal again, I don't feel embarrassed by my skin, and I can finally wear short sleeved shirts again!
I know how hopeless you can feel suffering from eczema but I would encourage anyone in this situation to try this lotion. This company also makes a thicker hand lotion...I bought that as well and use it throughout the day, and I would also highly recommend that product.
