Fushi Wellbeing Organic Evening Primrose Oil 100ml

What is Evening Primrose Oil?

Evening primrose oil is derived from the seeds of the evening primrose plant, Oenothera biennis.

Organic Evening Primrose oil has many beneficial health benefits, which have been known to be beneficial for your hormonal health, skin, hair and bones. Our locally grown Primrose oil is very high in Essential fatty acids – which can provide the building blocks for cell membranes and a variety of hormone like substances. Omega 6 fatty acids have been said to regulate hormones, and benefit hormonal acne issues.

These polyunsaturated fats are often used to help to lower the “bad” or LDL cholesterol, and increasing “good” or HDL cholesterol. Gamma Linoleic acid (GLA) is a form of omega 6. The GLA content in Evening Primrose oil is high and is best known for its role in providing nutritional support for women with PMS (premenstrual syndrome).

Key Benefits of Fushi Organic Evening Primrose Oil:

Fushi’s pure, cold pressed Evening Primrose oil is packaged in opaque glass bottles to prevent oxidation. The seeds are freshly pressed, direct from the farm at a temperature of 36C/87F for maximum freshness and potency. They are packed under nitrogen, which means the oil is kept at the right temperature and prevents the oil from becoming rancid.

As well as being a nourishing internal oil, Evening Primrose Oil also provides benefits as a skin oil, and it’s thought that the GLA may help to reduce skin inflammation. Its fatty acid content is key for regenerating, rebuilding and boosting skin suppleness, whilst phytosterols help prevent loss of moisture and keep skin hydrated.

Fushi’s UK grown Evening Primrose oil is freshly made in small batches. We have chosen an English grown source of Evening Primrose due to the high quality they produce, and believe it is the best quality for the taste of the oil which is highly important. The oil has a smooth, mellow, creamy, nutty flavour.
