Evening Primrose - a gift of nature
Evening primrose is a gift of nature that moisturizes the skin, fights free radicals, accelerates the healing of acne and psoriasis, relieves rheumatic pain, and supports weight loss. The most popular and effective raw material obtained from evening primrose is oil squeezed from its seeds.
Evening primrose oil has several beneficial properties, and one of the most important is the content of unsaturated fatty acids, which are extremely important for the proper functioning of the body. The chemical composition of evening primrose oil is over 80% EFAs, or essential unsaturated fatty acids, of which 70% is linoleic acid, and about 10% is gamma-linolenic acid. Why are these acids so important for the body? GLA acid, or gamma-linolenic acid, is responsible for, among other things, stabilizing blood pressure and cholesterol levels. In addition, EFAs condition the skin, hair and nails, and also maintain proper metabolism.
What are the healing properties of evening primrose oil? It turns out that the ingredients contained in it have an invaluable effect on the body.

- Omega acids found in the oil support the functioning of the immune system, thanks to their ability to remove toxins from the body and support the natural defense against diseases,
- In addition, EFAs present in evening primrose oil have a positive effect on the central nervous system, which translates into a better mood, improved memory and more efficient thinking,
- Evening primrose oil is also beneficial for the circulatory system. It helps lower blood pressure, helps fight heart diseases, clears the circulatory system, and regulates cholesterol levels, which can lead to atherosclerosis and congestion.

- Beneficial effects of EFA therapy contained in evening primrose oil have also been observed in the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

It protects the skin from damage and reduces inflammation, which is why it is used, for example, in psoriasis medications or atopic dermatitis preparations.
