Evening Primrose Oil - 100ml

Evening Primrose Oil — 100ml

Oenothera biennis — Cold-pressed from seeds sourced in China.

A potent skin-supporting oil — Evening Primrose Oil is one of the richest plant sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential omega-6 fatty acid that plays a key role in maintaining healthy, resilient skin. Particularly prized for supporting mature, dry, and hormonally sensitive skin, it helps improve elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and soothe inflammatory conditions such as eczema and rosacea. Due to its potency, it is most effective when blended with lighter carrier oils at 10–25%.

Skin Profile

Medium weight. Best suited to mature, dry, and hormonally sensitive skin. Absorbs well with a nourishing, slightly rich finish. Most effective as an active addition at 10–25% in blends — particularly powerful in formulations targeting hormonal skin conditions, eczema, and visible signs of ageing.

Key Constituents
