Evening primrose oil, identified by the CAS number 308064-97-3, is a natural oil extracted from the seeds of the evening primrose plant (Oenothera biennis). This oil is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is an omega-6 fatty acid known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Evening primrose oil is typically a pale yellow liquid with a mild, nutty aroma and is often used in dietary supplements and cosmetic formulations due to its potential health benefits, including support for skin health, hormonal balance, and alleviation of symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). The oil is also recognized for its antioxidant properties, which may help protect cells from oxidative stress. In terms of physical properties, evening primrose oil has a relatively low viscosity and is soluble in organic solvents but not in water. Its stability can be affected by exposure to light and heat, necessitating proper storage conditions to maintain its efficacy.
