Product Details

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Certified Organic Purity: Cold pressed from organically grown Oenothera biennis seeds, our Evening Primrose Organic Oil meets rigorous USDA and QAI certification standards. Ideal for natural product formulators prioritizing transparency and organic compliance, this ingredient elevates clean-label skincare and haircare products.

Rich in Essential Fatty Acids: Naturally high in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), linoleic acid, and other fatty acids, Evening Primrose Organic Oil offers excellent emollient properties. It contributes to improved skin feel and supports scalp-conditioning benefits in a wide range of formulations.

Versatile and Multifunctional: With a medium viscosity and a mild aroma, the organic variety of Evening Primrose Oil blends seamlessly with other carrier and essential oils, making it a formulator-friendly ingredient with multifunctional applications.

Naturally Stable Ingredient: Thanks to its lipid composition, Evening Primrose Organic Oil supports product consistency, as well as enhances the sensory profile of both rinse-off and leave-on formulations.


DESCRIPTION

Cold pressed from the seeds of the Oenothera biennis plant, Evening Primrose Organic Carrier Oil is responsibly sourced and is especially beneficial for holistic and clean beauty applications. With a color ranging from yellowish green to deep green, and a soft, earthy aroma, it is best suited for organic skin and scalp formulations that emphasize purity and traceability.

Evening Primrose Oil is known for its high GLA content that supports dry, mature, or over-processed skin. In haircare, this organic ingredient helps restore softness and manageability without synthetic additives or refined processing. Its clean-label benefits make it an excellent choice for premium brands and wellness-focused products.

Ethical sourcing and environmentally conscious production are central to this oil’s cultivation. Purchasing Evening Primrose Organic Oil supports sustainable agricultural practices and empowers farming communities, aligning with brands that prioritize sustainability and social responsibility.


DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE

  • Skincare Formulations: Use Evening Primrose Organic Oil at 1% to 10% in moisturizers, serums, balms, and facial oils for a nourishing glide and beautiful results.
  • Hair and Scalp Care: Incorporate this organic ingredient at 1% to 5% in conditioners, scalp oils, or masks to promote softness and improve comb-through. Suitable for both rinse-off and leave-on applications.
  • Body and Massage Products: To improve viscosity in body oils, bath products, or massage formulations, up to 100% Organic Evening Primrose Oil is suitable.
