So, what is EPO??

Well, EPO is the oil from the seed of the evening primrose plant.

Evening Primrose Plant

EPO is a rich source of Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acid, namely Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) which can help safeguard our intake of key nutrients for helping to maintain hormonal balance and healthy looking skin.
Omega-6 food sources: walnuts, pecans, almonds, pumpkin and sesame seeds. These fats help to lower blood pressure, thin the blood, and help insulin to work, which keeps blood sugar levels in balance and helps reduce the cravings for sweet foods. *Keep in mind : High intake of sweet foods will improve growth of wrinkles and promote aging especially among women!!

Regular intake of  EPO will improve skin texture and function in healthy people:

Improvement: -Moisture Content and retention                -Elasticity -Firmness -Strength and smoothness

 Desired Result:

-Tighten skin
