INCI: Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil
GLA-rich botanical nourishment for soft, supple, and resilient-looking skin.
What Is Evening Primrose Oil?
Evening Primrose Oil is a botanical oil pressed from the seeds of Oenothera biennis, a flowering plant native to North America. It is particularly valued in skincare for its distinctive fatty-acid profile, including linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).
These essential fatty acids make Evening Primrose Oil especially useful in formulations designed to nourish dry, mature, or moisture-depleted skin while supporting a soft and comfortably conditioned complexion.
Benefits
Evening Primrose Oil helps replenish skin-compatible lipids and support the skin's natural moisture barrier. Its emollient properties help soften and condition the skin while reducing moisture loss and supporting a smoother, more supple appearance.
Its naturally occurring GLA is one of the characteristics that distinguishes Evening Primrose Oil from many other botanical oils and makes it a valuable addition to nourishing, barrier-focused skincare formulations.
Why We Use Evening Primrose Oil
At Pure Intox, Evening Primrose Oil is selected for treatment-focused facial formulas where nourishment and moisture-barrier support complement more targeted skincare actives.
Its fatty-acid-rich profile allows it to pair naturally with other botanical oils and oil-soluble actives, helping create serum-oils that condition the skin while supporting a soft, supple, and resilient-looking complexion.
Sourcing & Quality
Evening Primrose Oil is obtained from the seeds of Oenothera biennis. We select cosmetic-grade Evening Primrose Oil for consistency, quality, and compatibility with botanical skincare formulations.
Because oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids require thoughtful handling, appropriate processing, formulation, and storage help protect the oil's delicate fatty-acid profile and maintain its quality within the finished product.
