Organic evening primrose oil is extracted from evening primrose seeds by cold pressing. In addition to filtration there is no further treatment, so it deserves actually the predicate "nativ" (unchanged). Our organic evening primrose oil has a medium green color, sometimes a dark green color and a typical smell and taste.
Organic evening primrose oil is unique because of its high concentration of gamma-linolenic acid. Unlike other oil recovery methods, the cold pressing method ensures that the gamma-linolenic acid is not destroyed and is still remaining in the oil.
