Clear answers to the most searched questions about evening primrose oil: GLA, grades, uses, storage, quality and buying in bulk
Answers from the quality team at Liana Health Care Pvt. Ltd., Meerut, India, a bulk supplier, wholesaler and exporter of cold pressed and refined evening primrose oil since 2010.
Evening primrose oil, or EPO, is a light carrier oil cold pressed from the seeds of Oenothera biennis. It is one of the few natural sources of gamma-linolenic acid, GLA, and is used in skin care, hair care and supplements.
The plant’s yellow flowers open in the evening and close by the next day, which gives it the name evening primrose.
GLA, or gamma-linolenic acid, is a rare omega-6 fatty acid. Evening primrose oil naturally contains about 8% to 10% GLA, along with about 70% to 77% linoleic acid.
Cold pressed evening primrose oil is golden with a mild nutty aroma and keeps its natural vitamin E. Refined oil is light yellow and almost odourless, preferred for creams and fragranced products.
Evening primrose oil is a carrier oil, not an essential oil. It can be used on its own on the skin or as a base for essential oils.
Evening primrose oil is used in face serums, night creams, body lotions, body butters, hand creams, lip balms, cuticle oils, scalp oils and soft-gel supplements made by licensed manufacturers.
Evening primrose oil is a popular ingredient in serums and creams for dry, sensitive-feeling and mature-looking skin, valued for its light texture and rich fatty acids.
Yes. It is light and absorbs quickly, so it suits face oils and serums, usually at 15% to 30% blended with jojoba or rosehip oil.
Evening primrose oil is used in scalp oils and hair serums for a nourished, soft feel, usually blended with coconut, sesame or castor oil.
Yes. Evening primrose oil is widely sold in soft-gel capsules. Supplements must be made with supplement grade oil by licensed manufacturers under the applicable food laws.
Evening primrose oil is generally well accepted by most skin types. Do a patch test first. Anyone taking medicines should seek medical advice before taking evening primrose oil supplements.
Evening primrose oil keeps for about 12 months in sealed original packing. It is rich in delicate fatty acids, so opened containers should be used quickly.
Store it in tightly closed, full, dark containers below 25°C, away from light, heat and air. Add vitamin E to finished products.
Rancid evening primrose oil has a sharp, fishy or paint-type smell instead of a mild nutty aroma. Do not use rancid oil in skin products.
A fatty acid profile by GC confirms genuine evening primrose oil, with GLA of about 8% to 10%. Blending with cheaper oils lowers the GLA value. Low acid and peroxide values confirm fresh oil.
Good evening primrose oil has about 8% to 10% GLA. Every Liana batch comes with a COA showing the GLA value.
The INCI name is Oenothera Biennis Oil.
