The oil is extracted from the seeds of the Evening Primrose plant. It has a high content of polyunsaturates and contains a large proportion of linoleic acid. It is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (average 7.1%), said to reduce blood cholesterol. Evening Primrose improves many skin problems such as rashes, dry skin, eczema and psoriasis. Also, extremely useful for the prevention of heart disease. Use this oil on its own or, if preferred, blend with another oil such as Jojoba. Once the bottle has been opened, Evening Primrose has a very short life (up to 2 months).
