INCI Name : Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil

What Is Evening Primrose Oil?


Evening primrose oil is extracted from the seeds of the Oenothera biennis plant. It is valued in skincare for its rich content of essential fatty acids, particularly gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which helps support skin hydration and smoothness.

This botanical oil is widely used in skincare formulations designed to nourish and support the skin’s natural barrier.

Why Evening Primrose Oil Supports Mature Skin


As skin matures, the natural lipid content of the skin gradually declines, which can lead to dryness and reduced elasticity. Botanical oils rich in essential fatty acids help replenish these lipids and support the skin’s natural barrier.

Evening Primrose Oil helps nourish the skin while supporting a smoother and more comfortable complexion.
