Pure Evening Primrose Seed Essential Oil
Pure Evening Primrose Seed Essential Oil is an essential oil extracted from the seeds of the Evening Primrose plant (Oenothera biennis) through cold-pressing or CO2 extraction. The plant is native to North America but grows widely in China, and has been traditionally used for medicinal purposes, particularly in treating skin conditions, digestive problems, and hormonal issues.
The essential oil contains high levels of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and omega-6 essential fatty acids making it highly beneficial for various skin conditions, including eczema, acne, and psoriasis. It is also known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and can be used for relieving symptoms of PMS and menopause.
Pure Evening Primrose Seed Essential Oil is usually diluted with a carrier oil before use and is commonly added to skincare formulations, massage oils, and aromatherapy blends. It is important to note that essential oils should be used with caution and under the guidance of a health professional as they can cause adverse effects if used inappropriately.

BIOWAY ORGANIC certifies that EVENING PRIMROSE OIL has been extracted using cold pressing which means it is minimally processed using mechanical extraction (pressure) and low-temperature controlled conditions [at around 80-90°F (26-32°C)] controlled conditions to extract the oil. The phytonutrient-rich oil is then fine-filtered using a screen, to remove any significant solids or undesired impurities from the oil. No chemical solvents, no high-heat temperatures, and no further chemical refining to alter the condition (colour, scent) of the oil.
The production process of Evening Primrose Seed Essential Oil can be summarized as follows:
1. Harvesting: The process starts with harvesting the Evening Primrose plant when it is in full bloom. The plant typically flowers between late spring and early summer.
2. Extraction: The extracted oil is primarily obtained via cold-pressing Evening Primrose Seeds. After the seeds are cleaned and dried, they are crushed to yield a paste, which is then pressed to extract the oil.
3. Filtration: Once the oil is extracted, it is filtered to remove impurities. This process helps to ensure that the oil is of high quality and free from any unwanted substances.
4. Storing and Packaging: After filtration, the oil is stored in a dark, cool place to avoid damage from heat and light. The oil is then packaged into appropriate containers, such as glass bottles, to ensure it is protected from air and sunlight.
5. Quality Control: The final step involves ensuring the quality of the oil, which is done through testing. The oil is tested for purity, chemical composition, and potency to ensure it meets the required standards.
The overall process of producing Evening Primrose Seed Essential Oil is quite simple, and it does not require any chemical processing. The resulting oil is organic and natural, making it a preferred alternative to synthetic products.

Cold-pressing and CO2 extraction are two different methods for extracting essential oils, and there are some differences between them for Evening Primrose Seed Essential Oil.
Cold-pressing involves pressing the seeds with a hydraulic press to extract the oil. This process is done at low temperatures to ensure that the oil retains its natural properties. Cold-pressing yields a high-quality oil that is rich in essential fatty acids and other nutrients. It is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, but it does not involve the use of any chemicals or solvents.
On the other hand, CO2 extraction involves the use of carbon dioxide under high pressure and low temperature to extract the oil. This process creates a pure and potent oil that is free from impurities. CO2 extraction can extract a broader range of compounds from the plant, including volatile terpenes and flavonoids. It is a more efficient method compared to cold-pressing, but it requires specialized equipment and expertise to perform.
In terms of Evening Primrose Seed Essential Oil, cold-pressed oil is generally preferred because it yields a high-quality oil that retains its natural properties. CO2 extraction can be used, but it is not as common due to the higher cost and complexity of the process.
Both methods can produce high-quality essential oils, but the choice depends on the preferences of the producer and the intended use of the oil.
