Why Choose Evening Primrose Oil Seed Carrier Oil?

Ultimate Relief for Dry, Damaged & Sensitive Skin: Rich in essential fatty acids, especially GLA (up to 10%) and linoleic acid, evening primrose oil delivers fast-absorbing hydration, soothes irritation, and helps repair the skin barrier – ideal for eczema, psoriasis, mature, atopic or scaly skin, and inflamed conditions.
Anti-Inflammatory & Regenerative Power: Famed for calming redness, irritation, and itching, this oil helps reduce signs of dermatitis, acne, and related skin reactions, supporting accelerated skin healing and comfort.
Youthful Elasticity & Fine Line Reduction: Antioxidants including vitamins A, D, E, and K work with fatty acids to soften, plump, and restore elasticity – making it especially beneficial for mature, aging, or menopausal skin and for improving fine lines and texture.
Balances Hormones, PMS & Menopause Support: Evening primrose oil is highly valued by women for its hormone-balancing GLA content, used traditionally to ease PMS, menopause symptoms, breast tenderness, and promote general well-being.
Nourishes Dry, Brittle Nails & Hair: Deeply conditions and strengthens brittle nails, revives dry, dull, or thinning hair, promotes scalp health, and tames frizz or flakiness. Use as a booster in nightly creams or hair treatments.
Gentle Enough for All Skin Types: Suitable for even the most sensitive, irritated, or inflamed skin types, absorbs quickly with a soft, neutral aroma – perfect for daily face and body care, night serums, or blending into lotions, balms, or masks.

This was prescribed by my doctor to help massage my breasts for lymph drainage. It is working so well, and the service received from eoil was INCREDIBLE!

Hi Allyson. Thank you for your nice review and we are so glad that our product is working as you want. Keep well and safe !

My pains best friend!

Every single month, at "that" time of the month my two superheroes Evening Primrose and Clary Sage come to my rescue! I mix a few drops of Clary sage into some Evening Primrose and massage it on my stomach and lower back a few times a day and it helps soothe my cramps so much! Also, I love the smell it's very calming. Would highly recommend to any women going through menstrual cramps.
