€ 21,90

Organic Evening Primrose Oil is a naturally anti-inflammatory that is beneficial for the skin and can be used for warding off premature aging, wound healing, acne, psoriasis, eczema, and atopic dermatitis.

Generally added to facial and body oils at concentrations of 10-30%, it is important to note that Evening Primrose Oil may act as a blood thinner, so caution is advised when using with blood-thinning medications.

  1. Moisturizes and hydrates the skin: Evening Primrose oil is a natural emollient, which means it helps to lock moisture into the skin. This makes it an excellent choice for people with dry or dehydrated skin. Evening Primrose oil contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a type of fatty acid that helps to keep the skin hydrated and moisturized.

  2. Reduces inflammation and promotes healing: Evening Primrose oil has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce redness, swelling, and irritation. This makes it a good choice for people with inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. Evening Primrose oil's GLA content can also help to promote wound healing and reduce the appearance of scars.

  3. Improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles: Evening Primrose oil can help to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is due to its GLA content, which helps to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are proteins that give the skin its structure and support.

In addition to these three benefits, Evening Primrose oil is also a good source of vitamins E and A, which are important for skin health. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from free radical damage. Vitamin A helps to promote cell turnover and collagen production.

Overall, Evening Primrose oil is a versatile and effective natural skincare oil that can be used to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin. It is a good choice for people of all skin types, including sensitive skin.
