Evening primrose oil is extracted from the evening primrose plant (Oenothera biennis), a wildflower found in North America, Europe and parts of Asia. The plant's pale yellow flowers open in the evening--hence its common name--and its seeds bear the special fatty oil that is used today.

An important source of γ-Linolenic acid, evening primrose (Oenothera spp.) is grown in temperate regions. The level of γ-Linolenic in evening primrose oil can vary from 8% to 10.5%. Additionally, evening primrose oil contains one of the highest levels of linoleic acid.
