Evening primrose oil is derived from the evening primrose flower and is easily absorbed through our skin.

Evening primrose oil contains a high content of linoleic acid. It contains the highest amount of gamma-linolenic acid of any food substance. These fatty acids are important to our systems because they are not produced by our bodies.

Essential fatty acids are important as they encourage the production of antibodies and inhibit bacterial growth, thus assisting in the defense against inflammation and infection.

Water loss, believed to be a culprit in eczema, dry skin and hair loss, is believed to be related to low levels of essential fatty acids.

Evening Primrose oil is often used in bath products designed to soothe and heal inflammation, itching, dandruff, and dry scaly skin.
