- The omega-6 fatty acids present in evening primrose oil are thought to regulate hormone levels, so may help address hormonal acne
- Widely used to ease symptoms of eczema and help reduce inflammation in acne
- Women’s health: Evening primrose oil is taken universally as a natural treatment for premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
- May calm hot flushes during the menopause.
Evening primrose oil (EPO) is extracted from the seeds of the yellow evening primrose flower (
Oenothera biennis), a plant native to North America. The oil is extracted by the cold-pressed method and is a rich source of omega-6 essential fatty acids that contain linoleic acid (LA) as well as gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). These properties help maintain a healthy and hydrated skin and may improve skin elasticity and reduce acne-related inflammation. In women’s health, evening primrose is thought to relieve symptoms of the menopause.
