Sunflower | Helianthus Annuus

Sunflower Oil,

Non-fragrant plant oil from sunflower.

Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil is a gentle, non-volatile plant oil derived from sunflowers, widely used in cosmetics for its exceptional emollient properties. Rich in linoleic acid (averaging 60%), this oil helps replenish, strengthen, and soothe the skin while supporting its natural barrier function. It also contains a blend of nourishing fatty acids, including oleic, palmitic, stearic, and a small amount of omega-3 linolenic acid, all of which contribute to skin health.

Ideal for dry, dehydrated, or environmentally stressed skin, sunflower seed oil aids in lipid synthesis—including ceramides—to visibly restore the skin’s protective barrier, leaving it smoother and more resilient. Additionally, its natural calming properties make it effective at reducing signs of irritation and stress.
