Viridian Organic Evening Primrose Oil (100ml)

Evening primrose oil is one of the longest-stocked products in any serious health shop, and Viridian Organic Evening Primrose Oil 100ml is the version we recommend for customers who want a clean, certified-organic liquid form rather than another softgel capsule.

Why evening primrose oil

Evening primrose oil is one of the most natural sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid that the body uses in a wide range of processes. Unlike most omega-6s (which arrive in modern diets in inflammatory abundance from seed oils and processed foods), GLA from evening primrose is one of the more useful members of the family and has been the focus of long-standing women's routine and skin-health interest.

The liquid format means the oil hasn't been through the encapsulation process. Some customers prefer that for taste and quality reasons, and a 100ml bottle gives you a meaningful supply at a fair price point compared with the equivalent in softgels.

Who reaches for this

• Women using evening primrose as part of a long-standing daily routine
• Customers focused on a skin-from-within routine alongside omega-3 and biotin
• Anyone preferring liquid oils to softgels (no gelatine question, no capsule waste)
• Customers wanting a certified-organic source

The Viridian approach

Cold-pressed, certified organic, no extraction solvents, no artificial preservatives. Viridian's commitment to ethical sourcing, charitable donation, and clean-label honesty makes them one of our most-trusted brands across the shop.

Like all polyunsaturated oils, store the bottle in the fridge once opened. The dark glass protects the oil from light, but cool temperature protects it from oxidation.

How to take it

One teaspoon daily (or as the label directs). Take it with a meal that contains some other fat for absorption. Don't cook with it, the heat damages the GLA you're paying for. Some customers also use the oil topically on the skin, the label has the full guidance.

If you're pregnant or on medication for hormonal or blood-related conditions, check with your GP before adding evening primrose oil to your routine.

Stack it sensibly

Evening primrose oil pairs well with a quality omega-3, a daily vitamin D3, and a clean vitamin C. Browse the wider Omega & Oils range for routine-building, or the Women's Health range for related products.
