Common Uses
Evening Primrose Oil is noted as a rich source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). These oils are used for dry skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and ageing skin. Add to your skincare blends at 10-20% concentration. Unrefined Evening Primrose has a characteristic golden green colour and occasionally some sediment. Unrefined oils often carry a stronger fragrance than its refined counterpart, but are deemed to be more nourishing to the skin. All GLA rich oils are unstable and it is important to keep them refrigerated. It is also important to keep as much oxygen out of the bottle as possible. Rebottle into smaller sizes as the oil is used.
