Evening Primrose Oil

Size: 100ml

Evening Primrose Oil (Oenothera biennis) is cold pressed from the seeds of the evening primrose plant — a delicate wildflower with a remarkably powerful oil. Celebrated for its extraordinarily high gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content, evening primrose oil is one of the most effective natural remedies for hormonal skin conditions, PMS, and inflammatory skin disorders.

GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid that the body often struggles to produce in adequate amounts, particularly during hormonal fluctuations. Evening primrose oil replenishes these levels, helping to restore balance both internally and on the skin's surface.

• Hormonal skin support: Particularly effective for acne linked to hormonal fluctuations, especially around the menstrual cycle
• Eczema and psoriasis: Anti-inflammatory GLA soothes dry, itchy, and inflamed skin conditions
• PMS and hormonal balance: Traditionally taken internally to ease PMS, breast tenderness, and mood swings
• Anti-aging: Supports skin elasticity and firmness; helps reduce the appearance of fine lines
• Rosacea and sensitive skin: Calms redness, flushing, and chronic skin sensitivity

Recipe idea: Blend 20ml evening primrose oil with 10ml rosehip oil and 3 drops rose geranium essential oil for a hormone-balancing, anti-inflammatory facial oil that works beautifully for acne-prone or reactive skin types.
