Description
Evening Primrose Carrier Oil gives skincare formulations a soft, considered feel with a medium-rich glide. It spreads smoothly, settles into the skin more slowly than very light oils, and leaves a finish that remains gently present after application.
It suits facial oils, creams, serums and targeted skincare blends where the carrier oil should contribute softness and substance rather than act as a plain background oil. Its strength is its thoughtful skin feel: smooth, quiet and useful without being overly heavy. The trade-off is residue. Used too heavily, Evening Primrose Carrier Oil can make lighter products feel oily, slower to absorb or more coated than customers expect.
Shelf life:Evening Primrose oil is quick to go rancid; users can expect a shelf life of up to 6 Months with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Adding Vitamin E at 0.5% will increase this to 24 months. Refrigeration after opening is recommended.
