Evening Primrose is a perfect skin care oil, it is moisturising, softening and soothing to dry or irritated skin with a delicate and slightly sweet aroma. An excellent oil for face and body massage blends, particularly for dry, scaly, devitalized and prematurely aging skin. Evening Primrose is often used for eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, acne, rosacea and dandruff, it also can accelerate the healing of wounds and scars and by forming a protective layer on the epidermis, it keeps the complexion strong and supple, and is consequently a popular ingredient in skin care products. Evening Primrose oil is extracted from the seeds of a large, delicate, yellow wild flower, first brought to Europe from Virginia in the 1600's. It is a tall spiky plant which grows almost anywhere and is even found in altitudes of up to 9,000 feet in areas such as in the Rocky Mountains. It bursts into bloom early in the evening, hence its name. The tiny seeds are the size of mustard seeds and are hand-harvested.
