Refined sunflower oil (hi linoleic) - BIO

INCI: Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil

CAS: 8001-21-6

Organic sunflower oil is pale yellow in colour, with a barely perceptible scent and a light consistency. It is obtained by pressing sunflower seeds and is a common ingredient in skin care, hair care, and make-up products. The oil is rich in vitamins (especially vitamin E, A and D) and fatty acids. It is non-comedogenic, meaning that sunflower oil does not clog pores.

Sunflower oil and acne

The oil is extremely light and non-greasy. It absorbs into the skin easily without clogging or blocking pores. Due to its abundance of vitamins and fatty acids, it acts as an antioxidant and regenerates and renews the skin.

Anti-ageing

The vitamin E content in sunflower oil helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can lead to premature ageing. It promotes a youthful, radiant complexion.

Sunflower oil and dry skin

It is a natural skin softener that also deeply moisturises, making it particularly suitable for dry, dehydrated and/or sensitive skin. It creates a moisturising barrier on the skin, helping to prevent infections and inflammation, even in babies (it is excellent for nappy rash).

Sunflower oil and hair

Just as it does for skin, sunflower oil has a moisturising effect on hair, softening it and adding a pleasant shine. Pure sunflower oil can be applied directly to the scalp, where it should be gently massaged in.

Sunflower oil can be used as a hair conditioner to make hair soft and supple. It also helps combat frizz and adds shine to hair.

Sunflower oil is therefore very useful in making homemade creams, hair conditioners, lotions, soaps, and more.

Natural make-up remover

Sunflower oil is gentle on the skin and can effectively remove make-up, including waterproof mascara, without causing irritation.

Recipes:

Hair conditioner: mix one tablespoon of sunflower oil with one tablespoon of wheat germ oil. Warm the mixture slightly and massage it into the hair. Leave on for 1 - 2 minutes, then rinse with warm water to which you have added a tablespoon of lemon juice.

Face mask: mix together half a cup of plain yoghurt (for exfoliation), half a cup of sunflower oil and a tablespoon of lemon juice (for natural brightening and prevention of age spots). Apply the mixture evenly to the face. Leave on for 10-20 minutes and rinse with warm water.
