Rating: I believe this is my favorite carrier oil. It nourishes so thoroughly, I just love it. I use it for a facial skin remedy and it is just amazing.. Its healing properties are over the top. While can be considered a bit oily, it is so delicious to the skin and it will balance out oil and dry skin!
Also used in the bath, it give complete moisture to the largest organ of our body! Mixed with Lavender, chamomile, it is great for cystitis and candida. It feels great to say the carrier oil used is almost as powerful as the essential oils themselves!!

Rating: It is very hard to find this oil fresh. When I recieved it I was delighted to find it was not rancid, as many I had ordered from other companies were indeed starting to turn. Thanks New Directions!

Rating: THank you New Directions, your prices can't be beat! I use Evening Primrose as part of a blend of oils to make a Sea Salt body exfoliant. It has a rich consistency with a mild scent, and golden color. Only a small amount is needed. Be sure to mix it with other oils to extend the shelf life.
