Evening Primrose Oil - 10% GLA
BCO-EVENG-PRMRSE-30ML
Our Cold Pressed, Refined Evening Primrose Oil is extracted from the seeds of the Oenothera biennis plant and is valued in personal care formulations for its exceptionally high levels of essential fatty acids. This fully refined oil offers improved stability and a clear, honey-like appearance, with a neutral scent and smooth, lightweight texture. With a typical composition of approximately 10% Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) and 65–85% Linoleic Acid, it is an excellent addition to products aimed at supporting the skin’s moisture balance, suppleness, and overall appearance.
Evening Primrose Oil is a prized oil in a wide range of personal care products, particularly those intended for dry or mature skin. Its composition makes it a popular choice in facial serums, creams, and body oils where lightweight emolliency and skin-conditioning properties are desired. Easily absorbed with a smooth, non-greasy feel, this versatile oil contributes to formulations aimed at promoting a soft, balanced, and well-nourished appearance.
Evening Primrose Oil can be used on its own or combined with other oils, and is well-suited for inclusion in the oil phase of lotions, creams, salves, and a variety of cosmetic formulations.
