Documents and Certificates
Evening Primrose Oil, cold-pressed from the seeds of the Oenothera biennis plant, is a delicate yet powerful oil celebrated for its skin-soothing and hormone-balancing benefits. Naturally rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)—a rare omega-6 fatty acid—this lightweight, golden oil supports skin health, reduces inflammation, and promotes a clear, radiant complexion.
Ideal for dry, sensitive, or aging skin, Evening Primrose Oil helps improve elasticity, restore moisture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and redness. It’s often used in formulations aimed at calming eczema, acne, and other skin irritations due to its gentle, anti-inflammatory properties. Absorbing easily without clogging pores, it’s a perfect addition to facial oils, serums, creams, and soothing body care products.
Beyond skincare, this oil is also valued for its internal and external support of hormonal balance—especially for women. When used topically or blended into massage oils, it may help ease menstrual discomfort and support overall well-being. Lyfe Herb’s provides 100% pure, cold-pressed, unrefined Evening Primrose Oil, free from additives or solvents—making it a trusted choice for natural beauty routines and wellness formulations.
