Sundance Evening Primrose Oil
is unique. The oil used is carefully extracted from a specially
cultivated Rigel Evening Primrose, the seeds of which contain up to 33%
more GLA than other Evening Primrose Oils*. Efamol carefully manages
each step of the oil extraction process to ensure that the oil stays in
the same form as in the seed, thus retaining its natural properties.
At Efamol, quality and purity are key values. Our unique Rigel Evening
Primrose is grown to our specification in the Netherlands and New
Zealand by the same growers we have used for the last 40 years.
Sundance Evening Primrose Oil has been tested repeatedly for efficacy
in eczema including Atopic eczema; a condition where skin barrier
function is compromised resulting in increased trans epidermal water
loss (TEWL) and epidermal hyper-proliferation. Efamol Evening Primrose
Oil has been proven as the beauty oil. It has been shown to greatly
improve skin moisture, amount of water
lost
through the skin, skin elasticity, skin roughness and more. Evening
Primrose Oil has also been studied as a natural topical treatment for
nappy rash. It has been shown to be as successful as a branded nappy
cream at reducing dryness, redness and rash in both groups with no
significant difference between the two. Evening Primrose Oil has been
shown to be particularly successful for reducing the severity of breast
pain associated with the menstrual cycle, known as
cyclical mastalgia, although study results vary.
