Evening primrose oil

Evening primrose oil is one of the most renowned plant oils due to its high content of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, ω-6) and linoleic acid, which play a key role in maintaining a healthy skin barrier and regulating inflammatory processes¹.

Clinical studies have shown that evening primrose oil can improve skin hydration and elasticity, reduce roughness and redness, and alleviate symptoms of irritation². Its anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties contribute to a healthier, more even complexion, while the antioxidants it contains help protect against oxidative stress³.

Thanks to its light texture, evening primrose oil absorbs well and does not leave a heavy feeling on the skin, making it suitable for daily care as well as a supportive element in an anti-aging routine⁴.
