Edens Garden Evening Primrose oil is as balancing as it is versatile. The oil is extracted from the seeds of the Evening Primrose plant (Oenothera biennis), and is a nutrient-rich carrier oil with a wide range of benefits for the body, skin, and hair. Rich in essential fatty acids, particularly gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), as well as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, Evening Primrose oil offers numerous therapeutic properties.
This harmonious carrier oil brings balance and grounding when your body needs a gentle push back toward homeostasis. It's particularly beneficial for women and a great addition to mature skin preparations. Its soothing and rejuvenating properties can make the skin and hair glow, Gentle enough for sensitive skin, the GLA found in the oil is deeply moisturizing and anti-inflammatory for dry skin conditions and assists wound healing.
To explore using this oil topically, it can be used as a face and neck moisturizer by applying a small amount undiluted. As a massage oil, it has the potential to inhibit acne and reduce inflammation and redness. For use in hair, application onto the scalp and into the hair can be accomplished by massaging a small amount of the oil onto the scalp and brushing through the hair with the fingertips. After bathing and showering it can be used as a hydrating body oil to lock in moisture and soothe dry skin.
