Organic Evening Primrose Oil

100% pure organic evening primrose oil (Oenothera biennis oil) from controlled organic cultivation Production: Cold pressing of the seeds Origin: China Effect/Application: The precious oil from the seeds strengthens, among other things, the skin and immune system and is a "first aid" remedy against numerous skin problems. It regulates cell metabolism, sebaceous gland production, and the elasticity and regeneration of the skin. Evening primrose oil is one of the few oils that contain gamma-linolenic acid. This polyunsaturated fatty acid is a necessary component of healthy skin cells, regulates the formation of natural anti-inflammatory and anti-itch messenger substances, and strengthens the skin's immune system. Evening primrose oil has therefore proven very effective for neurodermatitis. For external use, the oil is best mixed with a base oil such as jojoba or coconut oil: For example, add 10ml of evening primrose seed oil (gently refined) to 50ml of base oil. You can mix it into any body and facial oil. Source: Werner, M., Von Braunschweig, R., 2016 Praxis Aromatherapie: Grundlagen-Steckbriefe-Indikationen, 5th edition, Karl F. Haug Verlag, Stuttgart
