What Makes Evening Primrose Oil Special? The Key is 'Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA)'

The reason Evening Primrose Oil has long been loved as an "oil for women" is because of a special omega-6 essential fatty acid called Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA). GLA is absolutely vital for regulating inflammatory responses in our body and maintaining healthy cell membranes, but it's an ingredient that must be obtained from external sources as it's not sufficiently produced in the body. Evening Primrose Oil is one of the richest natural sources of this precious GLA.

[Summary of Benefits]

• Strengthens skin barrier & moisturizes extremely dry skin
• Improves wrinkles & prevents aging
• Soothes skin inflammation (eczema, acne)
• Balances hormones (alleviates PMS)

1. Strengthening the Skin Barrier & Providing Moisture (Hydration from Within) The key to healthy skin is a strong "skin barrier." Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) helps in the production of Ceramides, a core component of the skin barrier. A fortified skin barrier prevents moisture from evaporating, providing fundamental relief for chronic dryness, extremely dry skin, and itching caused by eczema or atopic dermatitis.

2. Wrinkle Improvement & Anti-Aging As we age, collagen and elastin in our skin decrease, leading to wrinkles. Through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions, GLA protects the skin from factors that cause aging and contributes to maintaining skin elasticity and flexibility. Consistent intake and use can prevent fine lines and make the skin look healthier and younger.

3. Soothing Skin Inflammation In the body, GLA is converted into an anti-inflammatory substance called prostaglandin. This makes it effective not only for chronic skin inflammation like eczema but also for alleviating adult acne caused by hormonal imbalances.
