Essentially Natural Evening Primrose Oil Cold Pressed is a light, golden botanical oil pressed from the seeds of Oenothera biennis. It is valued for its naturally occurring gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and essential fatty acids, which give it a gentle yet deeply conditioning skin feel. This oil is especially well suited to dry, mature, or sensitive skin types and is often chosen to support a calmer, more comfortable-looking complexion. It also works beautifully in hair and scalp routines where extra nourishment and softness are needed.

colour, scent, and fatty acid profile.

A: Yes. Many people use a few drops daily, especially for dry or sensitive skin. Start small and adjust based on how
your skin feels.
