It has 0.5% vitamin E (tocopherol) added to reduce oxidation in storage – delivered via a small amount of sunflower seed oil to ensure a pourable consistency.

Evening primrose has been revered for centuries in Native American traditions as a healing plant – its seeds, leaves and roots used for everything from bruises to skin complaints.

The plant blooms only after dark, opening its delicate yellow flowers as the sun sets, which is how it earned the name "evening primrose".

In modern herbalism and natural skincare, its oil is prized above all for its exceptional GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) content – a rare omega-6 fatty acid that the body uses to maintain healthy skin cell membranes, regulate inflammation and support hormonal balance.

It is one of nature's most generous gifts to sensitive, dry and mature skin.
