Fushi Evening Primrose Oil - Organic & Cold Pressed

Evening Primrose Oil / Evening Primrose Oil

Evening Primrose Oil is produced from the evening primrose flower, whose seeds are cold-pressed to extract the oil. It's a beautiful flower with a pleasant fragrance. Evening Primrose Oil is rich in GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), which is an omega-6 fatty acid, meaning it's an essential fatty acid that the body cannot produce on its own. These fatty acids play a vital role in skin elasticity and moisture retention. GLA can be found in evening primrose, borage, black currant seeds, blue-green algae and breast milk. The oil is dry and nutrient-rich, and regulates moisture. For skincare, this oil can be used pure or diluted with other oils such as apricot kernel oil, sesame oil, almond oil, or shea butter.

Benefits:

• Nourishes mature and problem skin, preferably mixed with another oil.
• Contributes to healthy skin.
• Strengthens nails and hair.

Dosage/How to use: External use: - apply undiluted to the skin or mix with other carrier oils. Internal use: - take 1/2 - 1 teaspoon daily with food. 1/2 teaspoon of Evening Primrose oil provides 2500 mg, which gives 250 mg of Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).

Storage: Evening Primrose oil is a sensitive oil and should be stored in the refrigerator. NOTE: Opened bottle should be consumed within 6 weeks. The oil should not be heated.

Imbalances in the omega-6/omega-3 ratio may occur if therapeutic doses of GLA alone are given for many months without also taking EFA/DHA supplements - in such cases, a high-quality fish oil or algae oil is also recommended**.

Note: Should not be taken by people who suffer from epilepsy or are taking blood-thinning medication without consulting a doctor.
