Evening Primrose Oil
Oenothera biennis
Hormonal Harmony & Skin Renewal in Every Drop
Cold-pressed from the seeds of the evening primrose plant, this golden oil is celebrated for its high gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content—a rare omega-6 fatty acid that supports hormonal balance and cellular health. Ideal for dry, sensitive, or acne-prone skin, it strengthens the skin barrier, soothes eczema/rosacea, and reduces inflammation. For hormonal wellness, it’s traditionally used to ease PMS, menopause discomfort, and cycle irregularities. In hair care, it nourishes scalps, reduces flakiness, and promotes resilience. Lightweight yet deeply moisturizing, it’s a star in facial serums, body oils, or capsule supplements. Comedogenic rating 2/5—suitable for most skin types but patch-test first. Shelf-stable for 12–18 months; store in a cool, dark place.
Lyddies Botanics’ Note: Certified organic, ethically sourced from North American farms practicing regenerative agriculture. Unrefined and bottled in UV-protected glass to preserve its delicate nutrients. A feminist-friendly staple for formulations bridging inner and outer wellness. 🌙
Tip: Blend with rosehip oil and chamomile for a calming PMS serum, or add to moisturizers for hormonal acne-prone skin. Avoid during pregnancy unless advised by a healthcare provider.
