PLANT OF ORIGIN: Oenothera biennis L.
Onagraceae (Evening Primrose Family)
INCI: Oenothera Biennis Oil
DOSAGE FORM: Oil

PRIMABENE® Evening Primrose Oil refined is obtained from the seeds of Oenothera species, especially Oenothera biennis L. and Oenothera erythrosepala Borb., through cold pressing and gentle refining.

It is particularly rich in linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid (8–12%) and is therefore highly valued in naturopathy as a dietary supplement.

The oil has a yellow to yellow-green color with a nutty aroma and mild taste.
