Evening Primrose Oil and natural cosmetic alive!

Primrose oil, known as evening primrose oil is one of the most important nature provides us for skin care.

The plant and the seeds of evening primrose or Oenethera have been used for centuries by Native Americans. They used the plant in hot water as an infusion for healing wounds, skin problems and even asthma.

The plant is native to North America and is a popular garden plant that has adapted well to different parts of Europe and Asia. Although recently appeared in Europe since the eighteenth century. His name “evening primrose”, is due to the pale yellow flowers that open in the afternoon.

It is also often called Primula (Primula spp.), Another plant with which it is often confusing, thanks to the primrose English term derived from the Greek “oinos” (wine) and “There” (snake). And is that a very old legend attached to the Primrose, the property to tame wild animals when I was steeped in wine.

The “Evening primrose oil” or primrose, the same used by the Native Americans, now to become fashionable. The common evening primrose seeds contain gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a rare essential fatty acid, prostaglandins direct (hormones), which is used to reduce the pain of PMS.

This oil is a regulator of the hormonal system and its regular intake (two to three times a year for twenty consecutive days) will help in cases of eczema, psoriasis and acne. But it also has anti-aging and promotes regeneration of skin wrinkles.

Evening primrose oil contains 88.5% of polyunsaturated fatty acids or essential fatty acids (also called “Vitamin F” by some scholars). And while other oils also contain evening primrose has the particularity to contain gamma-linolenic acid in preformed state, which saves a step in the body in the process of transforming fatty acids into prostaglandin E1 (PGE1 or).

It is precisely for this reason that polyunsaturated fatty acids are important and essential, because our body does not produce them and without them, no prostaglandins.

Prostaglandins are biologically active substances (which are formed from polyunsaturated fatty acids) that have a short life (less than 5 minutes). These are generated in most body cells when the cell membrane stimulation occurs.

Today we know about 15 types of prostaglandins. But when it comes to evening primrose oil we import a: PGE1.

The PGE1 was formed from linolenic acid contained in evening primrose oil, and is involved in the processes of pain, inflammation and fever. Among the actions attributed to them are the following:

• To prevent thrombosis and reduce blood pressure
• Dilate blood vessels and alleviate atherosclerosis
• Reduce the speed of processing of cholesterol
• Allow for greater efficiency to insulin
• Prevent and control inflammation of arthritis
• In laboratory conditions, stop the growth of cancer cells
• Relieve mental and physical symptoms of premenstrual syndrome
• Action soothing sedative and central nervous system
• Stimulate the production of neurotransmitters
• To promote the absorption of fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K)
• And most important of all: to regulate the actions of another prostaglandin, PGE2 (which has the opposite effect on PGE1)

Partly because of this, evening primrose oil is so good.

Organic natural beauty and ecological

What is the difference between natural cosmetics, organic and organic? With the rise of many natural beauty products are using confusing terms.

Beauty products are not heavily regulated for what they use names for marketing purposes without necessarily having the properties advertised. So we can not always believe what the label says.

What are the natural beauty products?
This almost never means anything. The word natural can be used on any product for even more processed chemical ingredients were once natural. Mineral oil comes from oil refining is arguably natural because it comes from oil.

Organic beauty products and biological
The term organic (or biological) is controlled not everywhere, but there are certifications that guarantee if a product is organic. In the USA and the European Union (EU) there are guidelines and rules for use and the logo that indicates it’s organic guaranteed.

The importance of organic ingredients is that the ingredients of plant and animal origin not use pesticides, food and fertilizers that are not considered organic.

Although generally of better quality than non-organic cosmetics, just because they do not guarantee efficiency and are not necessarily better. The effectiveness depends on the ingredients they contain.

Remember that not everything natural is organic, but organic is all natural.
