Evening Primrose Extract

Evening Primrose Extract (CAS 90028-66-3 ), derived from Oenothera biennis, is a botanical ingredient valued across nutrition, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical formulations for its high concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). It functions primarily as a bioactive lipid source and skin-conditioning agent, delivering essential fatty acids that support both topical and ingestible product performance in various industrial applications. In personal care, it is incorporated into facial creams, serums, and body lotions where GLA content supports moisture retention and skin barrier function. Nutraceutical manufacturers use it in softgel capsules. These dietary supplements often target hormonal balance and inflammatory response support. Food and functional nutrition brands incorporate it into fortified oils and specialty blends where omega-6 fatty acid enrichment is a claim. Pharmaceutical formulators source it as an active botanical ingredient in standardized preparations requiring documented GLA potency. Evening Primrose Extract is supplied primarily as a cold-pressed or CO₂-extracted oil. Standardized extracts are also available in encapsulated or powder form for dry applications. Common grades include food-grade, cosmetic-grade, and pharmaceutical-grade, with GLA content typically standardized between 8–10%. Specifications conforming to BP and Ph. Eur. monographs are available for regulated pharmaceutical applications. This ensures the highest quality standards for global distribution and manufacturing needs.
