Evening Primrose Virgin Organic Carrier Oil
Description
Evening Primrose Virgin Carrier Oil (Organic) is organically sourced from the evening primrose plant's seeds. Its light texture, pale yellow hue, and mild, earthy aroma make it a nourishing choice. Rich in gamma-linolenic acid and essential fatty acids, it's known for its anti-inflammatory and moisturising properties.
Suggested Uses:
- Skin Calming: Helps calm irritation and redness, promoting a balanced complexion.
- Joint Comfort: Traditionally used to ease joint discomfort and skin conditions.
- Hair Nourishment: Provides nourishment to the scalp, promoting healthy hair growth.
Shelf Life: Evening Primrose oil is quick to go rancid; users can expect a shelf life of up to 6 months with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Adding Vitamin E at 0.5% will increase this to 24 months. Refrigeration after opening is recommended.
