Oenothera biennis seed oil with 10% GLA.
This nourishing pale yellow oil is extracted via solvent-free cold-pressing from the evening primrose plant, a wildflower found in North America, Europe and parts of Asia. This unique plant's flowers only open at night.
Evening Primrose Oil is a vital source of γ-Linolenic acid, an active omega-6 fatty acid which is essential for healthy skin. It is needed to build the structure of cell membranes and to regulate a wide range of enzymatic reactions.
Evening Primrose Oil:
- Restores moisture and smoothness
- Regenerates the skin
- Is antiallergenic
- Has an anti-inflammatory effect
- Is absorbed quickly when applied topically
Because of its anti-ageing properties it is a recommended ingredient in moisturizing and anti-wrinkle creams. It is also great in nail and sun care applications. Evening Primrose Oil is generally added 3-10% in formulations.
