The common evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is the medicinal plant of the year 2026. It is valued for its versatile health benefits, particularly due to its oil, which contains high levels (10%) of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). This oil is mainly used to treat skin problems and is said to have anti-inflammatory properties and strengthen the skin barrier.

There is only one plant that contains even more GLA than evening primrose oil (10%), namely borage oil, which contains exactly twice as much (20%).

That is why we offer borage oil – the best source of gamma-linolenic acid. Borage oil is absolutely top notch.
