Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis L.) is a member of the Onagraceae family native to North America. Its yellow flowers bloom only at night, which inspired its name. European nobility frequently used the roots, stems, and leaves of evening primrose for medicinal purposes, earning it the celebrated title of “Panacea of the King.”
Evening primrose oil is extracted from the seeds of the plant. Sourced from Europe, this extract contains 9%-10% γ-Linolenic acid (GLA) and is manufactured under stringent quality control to ensure a premium primrose oil.
Evening primrose oil primarily contains nutrients including linoleic acids, minerals, γ-Linolenic acid, magnesium, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B6, and nicotinic acids. Evening primrose oil is widely applied in formulations to help regulate physiological functions, promote metabolism, adjust physiological constitution, maintain general health, and improve complexion.
Evening primrose oil is rich in γ-linolenic acid (GLA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid. It is an essential fatty acid that cannot be synthesized by the human body and is found only in select plants. The GLA content in evening primrose oil helps contribute to the regulation of physiological balance and support metabolic processes.
