What is Evening Primrose Oil?
Virgin evening primrose oil can be used on its own or blended with other oils to season salads or on the skin.
Its richness lies in gamma-linolenic acid (~20%), which is said to be essential because it is rarely found in nature and is not synthesized by the body.
It is necessary for maintaining the structure of the cell membrane, as it contributes to the suppleness and beauty of the skin.
It contributes to the formation and renewal of certain regulatory substances, known as short-lived substances, which continuously control cell activity.
Virgin evening primrose oil limits water loss in the upper layers of the skin (anti-aging effect) and the development of eczema. It enhances the action of zinc in acne care, helps dry, rough damaged skin and promotes healing thanks to its important regenerative properties.
Use for devitalized, tired or wrinkled skin.

Storage : Evening primrose oil is sensitive to oxidation. It is best stored in a cool place (no more than 20°C, protected from the air) and in a well-sealed bottle.
In the past, evening primrose oil was used by Amerindians for its anti-inflammatory benefits.
Its common name “gardener’s ham” is explained by the fact that the cooked roots have a very pronounced smoked ham flavor. The roots are eaten in the same way as salsify, as a gratin or side dish.
The plant seems to have appeared in Europe in the 17th century, smuggled in the ballast tanks of ships returning from the Americas.
