Umuthi Evening Primrose Oil - Cold Pressed is a 100% pure cold-pressed carrier oil from Oenothera biennis . It is used in skincare and body care formulations where a lightweight, fast-absorbing botanical oil is preferred. This is a cosmetic oil rather than a certified food-grade oil, so it is intended for external use only. It is especially useful in oil-based facial oils, body oils, and products for dry-feeling or mature-looking skin.
♡ Why we love it: Evening Primrose Oil is a lovely choice when a formulation needs a soft, light oil with a more refined skin feel. It absorbs quickly and works well in blends where you want nourishment without a heavy residue.
