Evening Primrose Organic Base Oil - 100ml
Evening Primrose Organic Base Oil — 100ml
A true skincare hero — our Evening Primrose Organic Base Oil is one of the richest plant-based sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential omega-6 fatty acid that plays a key role in maintaining healthy, resilient skin. Evening primrose oil is particularly prized for its ability to support mature, dry, and hormonally sensitive skin, helping to improve elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and soothe inflammatory skin 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
Exceptionally high in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) — one of the richest plant sources available. Linoleic acid (omega-6) for skin barrier repair. Anti-inflammatory properties particularly beneficial for eczema, rosacea, and hormonally sensitive skin. Certified organic.
