Evening Primrose Oil

oenothera biennis



This is a pale yellow oil
with a pleasant, light and nutty taste.
Extremely helpful in treating
menstrual and pre-menstrual problems,
eczema and psoriasis.
It's useful in treating allergic skin problems;
add up to 10% of the carrier oil
for massage and to any creams and lotions.
Its healing action results from its high content
of gamma linolenic acid (GLA),
an essential fatty acid that is vital
to cell and body functions and not
produced by the body itself.
It goes rancid quickly and should be
stored in a cool place or refrigerated.
In soapmaking, a little goes a long way;
add 1-2/3 tablespoons per 5 lbs. of soap
just before adding the essential oils.

SAP value: 191.0.
