Product Description:
Evening Primrose has a long history in skincare.
Native Americans used it for bruises, for various skin issues but also they ate the roots. The oil is extracted from the seeds using the cold-pressing method. The non-saponifiable portion, about 1.5–2% of the oil, contains elevated amounts of sterols, tocopherols, hydrocarbons, and alcohols.
Phytosterols present in Evening Primrose oil have been suggested to possess anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-fungal activities.
You will love this oil because of its incredibly moisturizing, is full of antioxidants properties, and adds a special touch to handmade products.
