DESCRIPTION
Cold pressed from the Oenothera biennis seeds, Evening Primrose Unrefined Oil is a nutrient-dense carrier oil prized for its gentle yet powerful skin-conditioning properties. Especially beneficial in natural and clean beauty product lines, this virgin-grade oil is unrefined to retain its naturally golden hue, earthy aroma, and complete fatty acid profile.
Historically known as the “King’s Cure-All,” Evening Primrose Oil is exceptionally rich in Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), an Omega-6 fatty acid that helps soothe dry, mature, or sensitive skin while enhancing hydration and elasticity. Its slow absorption rate and emollient texture make it ideal for intensive skin and hair treatments, delivering nourishment over time without synthetic processing.
A suitable ingredient in serums, facial oils, body butters, and conditioning masks, Evening Primrose Unrefined Oil offers a luxurious, silky glide and maintains its botanical integrity across a wide range of natural formulations.
