It is an excellent emoillent, so ensures the skin remains smooth.

The oil is an excellent source of fatty acids which is important in maintaining healthy, glowing skin. When used topically (on the skin) evening primrose oil has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, both of which are said to support anti-aging. The oil also moisturises and softens the skin, helping to reduce redness.
