About Sunflower Seed Oil
Sunflower Seed Oil
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil is a naturally derived emollient extracted from sunflower seeds that excels as a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer with exceptional skin compatibility. This golden oil is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid (omega-6) comprising 59-69% of its composition, alongside oleic acid and beneficial antioxidants like vitamin E. Its unique ability to enhance skin barrier function stems from its high linoleic acid content, which helps maintain the skin’s natural protective barrier while preventing transepidermal water loss. Sunflower seed oil promotes natural ceramide synthesis, supporting skin barrier repair and long-term hydration without clogging pores. In skincare formulations, it functions as both a standalone moisturizer and synergistic enhancer, providing anti-inflammatory benefits that soothe irritated skin while delivering powerful antioxidant protection against environmental stressors and UV damage. This makes it invaluable for products targeting all skin types, including sensitive, dry, and acne-prone skin conditions.
