Evening Primrose Oil

Oenothera biennis L. is a plant species that grows in North America with yellow-colored flowers. The oil obtained from the plant's seeds is used for various industrial and medical purposes.

Evening Primrose Oil was first used by Native Americans in North America in the 17th century. It was later brought to Europe and began to be widely used for medical purposes in the late 18th century. The oil is believed to help with various health problems such as skin problems, arthritis, and rheumatism, thanks to its gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content.

Evening Primrose Oil is obtained by cold-pressing the seeds. In this method, the seeds are pressed at low temperatures to preserve the quality and nutritional value of the oil.

The smell of Evening Primrose Oil is neutral and light. It is generally considered to have no smell or carry a very light oil scent. Therefore, when used with other oils, the scent of this oil is usually ignored or not dominant. However, factors such as the quality of the oil, production method, and storage conditions can affect its scent.
