EVENING PRIMROSE

INCI Name / Latin Name

Oenothera Biennis

Botanical family

Onagraceae

Cosmetic benefits

Evening Primrose oil was traditionally used by Native Americans for its soothing qualities and for helping repair the skin(4). It is rich in catechin, epicatechin, gallic acid, and tannins, which are molecules known for their anti-oxidant properties(1), making Evening Primrose oil an excellent skincare product.
The polyphenols in this oil are also known for their anti-oxidant properties and for helping reduce rashes(1)(3). It is also an excellent haircare product.

It is a biennial plant that is known and used today for its seeds, which are used to produce Evening Primrose oil. This oil has a composition very rich in anti-oxidants and is prized in the cosmetics industry for its skincare and haircare properties.
