Evening primrose in its plant form is known for treating a wide range of conditions. Every Bit Organic has bottled 100% pure evening primrose oil. It is cold-pressed, first-pressed to maintain maximum purity. This oil by Everyday Organic is for cosmetic use.

Evening primrose oil is made from the seeds of the flowers of a plant native to North America. The plant has yellow flowers that open at night. That's how it got its name.

The plant has traditionally been used to treat women suffering from premenstrual syndrome (PMS), endometriosis, breast pain, and hot flashes, which is a symptom of menopause.

Evening primrose oil has many properties that are beneficial to the health of your skin. The oil may be used to moisturise and soothe your skin and it may enhance the texture and elasticity of skin, addressing dryness, irritation, roughness, and wrinkles.

Its healing benefits may be due to its gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content. GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid found in plant oils. Linoleic acids have anti-inflammatory properties, promote moisture retention in the skin, help soothe and prevent acne, facilitate wound healing, and help to sustain skin softness and elasticity to help reduce the effects of ageing.

The compounds present in EPO may offer the following skin benefits:

• Improve hydration and elasticity.
• Reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
• Soothe itchy, dry, and irritated skin.
• Regulate sebum production.
• Treat and prevent breakouts.
