Description
Evening Primrose Virgin Carrier Oil (Organic) 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 is well suited to 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 becoming overly heavy. The trade-off is residue. Used too heavily, it 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.
