USE

For the face
Apply a few drops to clean, slightly damp skin on the face. Massage in gently with your palms until the oil is absorbed. Use every day, in the morning or evening.

For the body
After showering, apply the oil to still-damp skin. Recommended for dry or sensitive areas such as the hands, elbows, legs and décolletage.

For eyelashes and hair
Using a cotton bud, apply a drop of oil to the eyelashes or the cuticles. For dry hair, you can use the oil as a mask – work it into the scalp and ends, leave on for 30 minutes and then rinse out.

For dry or irritated skin
Ideal for skin that is prone to eczema, redness or flaking. Apply directly to the affected area.

Evening primrose oil is obtained from the seeds of the biennial evening primrose plant, which has been used for centuries in natural medicine and cosmetics. It contains a high proportion of essential fatty acids, especially gamma-linolenic (GLA) and linoleic acid, which strengthen the skin barrier, soothe inflammation and help the skin retain moisture.

The oil is also a rich source of vitamin E, which has an antioxidant effect and helps protect the skin from harmful environmental influences and free radicals. Regular use of evening primrose oil can reduce the feeling of tightness, improve skin elasticity, and smooth fine lines, which makes it suitable also for mature and tired skin.

Thanks to its mild action, the oil is excellent for sensitive skin prone to redness, dryness, flaking or hormonal fluctuations. It is also used for hair, eyelashes, nails and cuticles, where it strengthens them and protects them from breakage.

Apply the plant oil only to healthy skin. It must not come into contact with the eyes. The plant oil is intended for external use only. Store at room temperature, protected from light and out of the reach of children.
