NOW Foods Evening Primrose Oil 4 oz — Cold-Pressed, 100% Pure Moisturizing Oil with Essential Fatty Acids

NOW Solutions Evening Primrose Oil is a 100% pure, cold-pressed plant oil rich in essential fatty acids to nourish and help maintain skin moisture.

Extracted from Oenothera biennis seeds and packaged in a UV-protectant clear bottle, this 4-ounce NOW product offers a simple, single-ingredient approach to skin conditioning. The formula is non-GMO Project Verified, free from solvents and fillers, and produced under GMP-certified processes in the USA. NOW is shifting its carrier oil packaging to post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin, which can darken the bottle appearance without changing oil quality.

What makes this evening primrose oil suitable for skin care?

Evening primrose oil contains omega essential fatty acids that contribute to the skin’s barrier support and surface moisture. Because it’s cold-pressed and virgin, the oil retains its natural lipid profile without additives. NOW’s single-ingredient offering is easy to combine with other routines or use alone for targeted hydration.

• Contains Oenothera biennis (evening primrose) oil, a plant-derived source of EFAs.
• Cold-pressed extraction preserves natural fatty acids and nutrients.
• No solvents, fillers, or preservatives—suitable for minimal-ingredient routines.
• Non-GMO Project Verified and not tested on animals.

How should I use this oil in my daily regimen?

Apply a few drops to clean, slightly damp skin or mix with your moisturizer to boost hydration. It can be used on the body, face, or targeted dry areas; start with small amounts to find your preferred level of nourishment. For hair, use a light application on ends to help reduce the appearance of dryness.

• Use 2–4 drops on damp skin after cleansing to lock in moisture.
• Blend with lotions or creams to enhance moisturizing properties.
• Apply sparingly to hair ends as an overnight or leave-in treatment.
• Patch-test before wider use if you have sensitive skin.

How is this product sourced and packaged?

NOW Solutions sources globally and produces the oil in the USA under GMP-certified conditions, ensuring consistent quality and testing for stability and potency. The oil is packaged in a clear bottle formulated to block UV light; NOW is transitioning to PCR resin bottles which may appear darker but do not affect the contents.

• Made in the USA with globally sourced evening primrose seeds.
• Packaged in a UV-protectant bottle to preserve oil integrity.
• Newer bottles use 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin.
• NPA A-rated GMP certification for manufacturing standards.

Will this oil work for sensitive or reactive skin?

Because this is a single-ingredient, cold-pressed plant oil without added fragrances or preservatives, many people with sensitive skin find it tolerable. Individual responses vary, so perform a small patch test first and discontinue if irritation appears. The absence of solvents and fillers reduces common irritant sources, but essential fatty acid oils can still cause reactions in rare cases.

• No added fragrances, preservatives, or synthetic fillers to minimize irritants.
• Single-ingredient formulation simplifies compatibility with other products.
• Recommended: patch test on inner forearm before full-face use.
• Consult a dermatologist if you have severe sensitivities or active skin conditions.

Who is this for: NOW Solutions Evening Primrose Oil is aimed at people seeking a straightforward, plant-based carrier oil to support skin conditioning—ideal for those who prefer minimal-ingredient products, DIY skincare enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a versatile oil for body, face, and hair. It suits users who value non-GMO verification, cruelty-free practices, and GMP-quality manufacturing, and those who accept slight visual differences in bottle color due to NOW’s move to recycled packaging.
