Evening Primrose Oil, 10% GLA content, wildcrafted, refined (Oenothera biennis): This is a pale yellow oil with a nutty aroma, solvents are not used in its extraction.
Evening Primrose’s healing action results from its high content of gamma linolenic acid (9% GLA), an essential fatty acid that is vital to cell and body functions and not produced by the body itself. Its pale yellow color may vary based on growing conditions and batch. This oil is extremely helpful in treating, menstrual and pre-menstrual problems, eczema and psoriasis, dry skin, useful in treating allergic skin problems. Add up to 10% of the carrier oil for massage and to any creams and lotions.
This oil tends to go rancid quickly and should be stored in a cool place or refrigerated. In soapmaking, a little goes a long way; add 1-2/3 tablespoons per 5 lbs. of soap just before adding the essential oils. In lotions/creams use 2%-5%. SAP value: 191.0. Shelf life: 6 months to 1 year when stored tightly capped in a cool place, away from light and direct heat, refrigeration is OK for this oil. INCI: Oenothera Biennis. NOTE: This oil is obtained from plant material grown from non-hybridized seeds.

What a great ingredient to use as an eye serum!! This primrose oil is packed with anti-aging properties. Add a few drops of primrose oil to an ounce of grape seed oil and gently pat into the skin under your eyes. This will diminish those unsightly circles, tricking your boss into thinking you went to bed promptly at 9pm.

I have been using this oil in combination with other oils in m my anti-aging oils, as well as my problem skin care cream. My customers rave about both products. They keep begging for more. The properties are like medicine to the skin. Getting ready to re-order right now

Its about time to reorder supplies and E. Primrose is one I will not be without. So moisturizing and soothing to the skin. Added to formulas for the elderly, they rant and rave about products they try with this oil in it. Use it while you are young, and I'll bet wrinkles will stay away!

Evening primrose oil and macadamia oil and butters from camden-grey make a great body butter that's not too greasy.

I love Evening Primrose Oil - and Camden Grey's does not disappoint! It's a beautiful golden color and has just a very faint aroma. It immediately absorbs into the skin without even the slightest greasy feel. I use it in everything from premium lotions & facial serums to shampoo & facial soap bars - I just love it!
