Packing and Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, ideally refrigerated to maintain freshness. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in active use. As an unrefined, cold pressed oil rich in essential fatty acids, Evening Primrose Oil is more prone to oxidation than many other carrier oils. Best before 9 months from packaging date. Natural variation in colour and scent between batches is characteristic of a cold pressed, unrefined oil.

Caution

Patch test is recommended before use on skin. In case of any allergic reaction, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist or physician.
