EPO Nachtkerzenöl

The fountain of youth for cells & skin.

Burgerstein EPO Evening Primrose Oil contains pure, high-quality evening primrose oil as well as vitamin E. The fatty acids contained in evening primrose oil are important substances that the body cannot produce itself. Evening primrose oil can help to make dry skin supple and supports the regulation of elevated blood lipid levels. The vitamin E contained also helps to protect against the influence of free radicals.

EPO stands for Evening Primrose Oil. Evening primrose oil is a fatty oil obtained from the seeds of the evening primrose by extraction and/or pressing. It contains a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids and γ-linolenic acid, i.e. omega-6 fatty acids, which support sensitive skin. The body cannot produce omega-6 fatty acids itself. Therefore, they have to be supplied with food. The body then builds omega-6 fats into the skin, among other things. There they presumably support the barrier function and contribute to the reduction of moisture loss.
