Sunflower oil, certified organic

Organic sunflower oil is derived from the seeds of the Helianthus annuus plant and has been used for centuries in natural skincare and wellness practices. Known for its mild, neutral scent and lightweight feel, refined sunflower oil is widely valued in modern beauty formulations for its non‑comedogenic properties, meaning it won’t clog pores and is typically suitable for most skin types. Its smooth texture and high absorbency make it a popular ingredient in DIY skincare, haircare, and cosmetic formulations.

Skincare Uses

Lightweight and highly absorbent: Sunflower oil is quickly absorbed into the skin without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.

Non‑comedogenic and gentle: With a very low comedogenic rating, sunflower oil is unlikely to clog pores, making it a favoured choice for facial and body care products.

Rich in vitamins and essential nutrients: Naturally containing vitamins A, D, and E, this oil is often included in skincare formulations to support hydration and maintain the skin’s natural barrier.

Supports moisture retention: The omega‑6 fatty acids in sunflower oil help support the skin’s ability to retain moisture, contributing to a well‑conditioned feel.

Haircare Uses

Scalp and hair nourishment: Frequently found in haircare products, sunflower oil is often used to help condition both the scalp and hair strands without weighing them down.

Enhancing shine and softness: Its lightweight composition makes it a great addition to leave‑in conditioners and hair treatments designed to promote a naturally smooth appearance.

Additional Uses

Versatile in cosmetic formulations: With its mild scent and neutral colour, refined sunflower oil blends seamlessly with other ingredients in lotions, creams, and serums, making it a staple in DIY beauty formulations.

Ideal for sensitive skin formulations: Thanks to its non‑irritating nature, sunflower oil is commonly used in products designed for dry, weathered, or mature skin.

Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known allergies or skin sensitivities.
