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.

FAQs
Q: What does cold pressed mean for a carrier oil?
A: Cold pressed oils are extracted without high heat, helping to maintain the oil’s natural character, including its
colour, scent, and fatty acid profile.
Q: Can I use evening primrose oil daily on my face?
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.
Q: Will it feel greasy?
A: It is a light oil but still nourishing. Using a few drops on slightly damp skin helps it spread evenly and absorb
more comfortably.
Q: Can I combine this with other oils?
A: Yes. It blends well with oils like jojoba, squalane, rosehip, or argan to customise texture and skin feel.
