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.
