Evening Primrose Oil is a plant-derived oil extracted from the seeds of the evening primrose plant (Oenothera biennis). It is valued for its content of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid, and is used in skincare, haircare, and selected cosmetic formulations. It helps condition the skin and is particularly useful in products designed for dry-feeling skin.
