**Sunflower Oil - High Oleic** is a deeply moisturizing oil extracted from the seeds of the Sunflower plant. Renowned for its richness in essential fatty acids, particularly oleic acid (C18:1), our Sunflower Oil - High Oleic undergoes expeller pressing and subsequent refinement, resulting in an oil with a mild odor and a warm honey color. The notably high oleic acid content contributes to the oil's enhanced oxidative stability.
This oil is abundant in vitamin E, making it a superb choice for various cosmetic applications. It is particularly beneficial for both hair and skin treatments, including hair and skin oil applications, soap, shampoo, conditioner, masks, and cleansers. Its lightweight nature makes it suitable for bath oils and lotions, although it does have a slower absorption rate.
**Cosmetic Applications:**
- **Skin:** Soothes dry and chapped skin, reduces redness, and maintains hydration.
- **Hair:** Serves as an emollient for dry, damaged, and fragile hair, promoting scalp health.
- **Lips:** A key ingredient for lip balms, lipsticks, and other lip care products.
- **Massage:** Blended into massage oils to lighten heavier oils and enhance oxidative stability.
**INCI:** Sunflower Oil (Helianthus annuus) Oil
