Bought this oil for the healing and moisturing skin benefits, . I blend it with 5 other oils plus carrot seed, lavender, and patchouli EOs (all purchased at NDA) to make my moisturizing oil for mature skin. It's amazing what natural oils do for the skin.

There is definately a scent but after mixing it with a blend of EO's it was fine. It feels great going on, absorbs nicely and has wonderful benefits. I will purchase this again for sure.

Someone suggested this oil to me and I'm glad I tried it. It was characteristic of carrier oils and suitible for sensitive skin types. I will likely include it in the order I make today!

Evening primrose is added to my massage blends in a 40/60 split with unrefined hemp seed oil. The combination is amazing. I love evening primrose for in fragrance creams as well... just a little of ND natural beeswax, and the essential of your choice, and it's an amazing combination. New Directions is such an awesome resource for the very finest oils. I love shopping here!

I am constantly amazed at the quality and the PRICE of everything at NDA, even the Evening Primrose Oil! I feel like a child and the candy store! Although I have not yet tried this in my CP soap I am confident it will lend its wonderful properties to my products. Kudos to NDA for offering both the Unrefined and Refined versions of this oil at excellent prices! I will definitely be purchasing more of this oil among many others in the future!

This oil is very good for my dry skin. I use it as a make up remover. I also add it to my creams. The quality is good too.
