Evening Primrose Oil

Product Description

Evening primrose oil, often also called night willow herb oil, king’s cure oil, evening star oil, or EPO is a natural oil extracted from the seeds of Oenothera biennis. Evening primrose oil has gained immense popularity due to the presence of high quantities of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), vitamin E, and other essential fatty acids. These components are building blocks of human brain function and help manage blood pressure. The nutrient profile of evening primrose oil is excellent for cosmetics, skincare, and dietary supplements. Use it as it is or mix it up with our other wholesale essential oils for a synergistic effect. 

At Aromachology Oils, we have two varieties of this product - natural evening primrose oil and certified organic evening primrose, both available in small as well as bulk packs. This makes it suitable for your hobby DIY projects as well as enterprise-level manufacturing. Our bulk evening primrose oil goes through a meticulous extraction procedure and utmost care is taken to even pack and store the product. 

Native to Central and North America, evening primrose seeds are now cultivated in various other regions like Europe, Australia, and India. The harvesters collect the seeds only when the plant has flowered and then clean them before they are ready for oil extraction.

Our exclusive online store lets you buy evening primrose oil directly from the manufacturer from the comfort of your home along with various other wholesale carrier oils and Ayurvedic oils.
