Exceptional Evening Primrose Carrier Oil is a rare, super-critical CO₂ extract from the seeds of the wild Evening Primrose plant. Enriched with a touch of Frankincense Essential Oil, this medium-viscosity oil hydrates, soothes, and nurtures thirsty skin, making it a luxurious addition to any skincare routine.
Historically cherished by Native Americans and Europeans, Evening Primrose seeds were pressed for oil, soaked for poultices, and celebrated for their skin-restoring properties. Combined with Frankincense, this carrier oil becomes a powerful ally for reducing redness, firming sagging skin, and minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Aromatic & Historical Inspiration
Evening Primrose opens its petals in the twilight, offering moisturizing, nurturing lipids that transform skin care into a luxurious ritual. With its soft scent of nuts and honey and the fortifying touch of Frankincense, this oil supports skin balance while enhancing emotional wellness.
"Oh, you mysterious girls, when you are fifty-two we shall find you out; you must come into the open then. If the mouth has fallen sourly yours the blame: all the meanness your youth concealed have been gathering in your face. But the pretty thoughts and sweet ways and dear, forgotten kindnesses linger there also, to bloom in your twilight like evening primroses."
~ J.M. Barrie
