Product Details

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Rich in Skin-Loving Nutrients: Evening Primrose Oil is prized for its high content of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) and essential fatty acids. Cold pressed and refined, this cosmetic ingredient soothes and replenishes dry, flaky, or mature skin, supporting soft, supple, and nourished texture.

Scalp & Hair Conditioning: As an ingredient in hair care, Cosmetic Grade Evening Primrose Oil hydrates the scalp, enhances elasticity in hair strands, and helps reduce the appearance of brittleness. Recommended for conditioning treatments and leave-in products.

Naturally Luxurious Texture: Evening Primrose Oil’s viscosity and richness are excellent for high-end creams, serums, and bath oils. Though it leaves a slight oily residue, this quality can be advantageous in formulations where long-lasting emollience is desired.

Versatile Ingredient: Refined for minimal scent, Evening Primrose Oil - Cosmetic Grade blends seamlessly in product formulations from facial serums and body lotions to cold-processed soaps and leave-in hair treatments.


DESCRIPTION

Extracted from the seeds of Oenothera biennis, Evening Primrose Oil – Cosmetic Grade has a long-standing reputation in wellness and beauty traditions. Our refined, cold-pressed variety is cosmetic-grade, offering excellent stability and a neutral profile ideal for sophisticated formulations.

Naturally rich in omega-6 fatty acids, especially Gamma Linolenic Acid, this Carrier Oil is well-suited for use in moisturizing and conditioning products for dry or mature skin and hair. Its golden hue, medium viscosity, and easy absorption make it an essential cosmetic ingredient for high-performance skin and hair care products.

Whether you're crafting a restorative night cream, a scalp oil, or a luxurious bath blend, Evening Primrose Oil – Cosmetic Grade enhances the function and feel of your formulation.


DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE

  • Facial Oils and Serums: Blend 5-15% Evening Primrose Oil – Cosmetic Grade into facial oils or serums for dry or mature skin types. Its fatty acid profile supports softness and smooth texture.
  • Hair and Scalp Treatments: Incorporate at 2–10% into hair masks or scalp oils to boost hydration and manageability without heaviness.
  • Body and Massage Oils: Use at 5–50% as a base or secondary carrier oil in massage blends for a smooth glide and a luxurious finish.
  • Lotions and Creams: Add Evening Primrose Oil to the oil phase of emulsified lotions and creams at 2–8%.
