Sunflower (Helianthus annuus)
About Our Sunflower Oil:
We know that Sunflower oil gets a bad rap and we would love to change your heart on this. There are a lot of extremely poorly produced oils out there ruining it for the pure ones, and we believe like everything these days that we put on and inside our bodies— the growth and production process deeply matters.
Organic cold-pressed sunflower oil is an exceptional, natural option for skincare. It’s packed with essential nutrients, hydrating and healing properties, and is free from harmful chemicals or additives. Whether you’re looking to restore moisture, calm irritation, or protect your skin from environmental damage, organic cold-pressed sunflower oil is a safe, effective, and sustainable choice that will nourish your skin and support your wellness.
Our Sunflower oil is fast absorbing and non-comedogenic which means that it will not clog your pores and makes it a well suited oil for any skin type - yes, even oily skin! It contains an exceptionally high rate of linoleic acid which penetrates the skin easily and helps keep the skins barrier stay protected from external stressors. This also gives the oil anti-inflammatory properties which can soothe inflamed and irritated skin.
It is extremely high in Vitamin E which is a potent antioxidant that protects skin but also helps to promote skin healing and has even been known to reduce pigmentation and scarring. The glorious golden colour of our cleanly produced oil is like capturing the sun inside a bottle.
Our cold pressed sunflower oil is extremely gentle, effective and versatile when it comes to crafting our skincare. Although we understand the views on certain seed and plant oils, we 100% back the benefits of it for the skin and are proud to use such a high quality and local oil in our products.
