Sunflower Oil Refined

SUNFLOWER OIL (REFINED)

Refined Sunflower Oil is a lightweight, skin-loving carrier oil that’s earned its place in formulations everywhere for good reason.

Extracted from the seeds of the vibrant Helianthus annuus plant, this clear oil has a gentle, non-greasy feel and wide-ranging skin and hair benefits. Rich in Essential Fatty Acids - particularly linoleic acid (Omega-6) and oleic acid (Omega-9) - as well as stearic, palmitic acids, and Vitamins E, A, B, D and K, Sunflower Oil locks in moisture, soothes inflammation, and strengthens the skin’s natural barrier to support a smoother, more youthful appearance. It’s also non-comedogenic, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne prone. No wonder it holds such a high value in the skincare industry, finding itself used in many cosmetics or as a popular dilute for essential oils.

Add pure Sunflower Oil to your DIY formulations or use it as a base for essential oils to enjoy its deeply hydrating, protective, and restorative qualities in both skin and haircare.

How to use Sunflower Oil

There are many ways to use Sunflower at home – here are some of our favourite applications: 

• Directly on the Skin:  Sunflower Oil is most beneficial by using it directly on the skin. You can apply it on its own or combined with other Carrier Oils and safe levels of Essential Oils. Apply twice daily for best results.
• Diluting with Essential Oils: Sunflower Carrier Oil makes a great base for diluting essential oils to use topically. Try adding 4-6 drops of your favourite Essential Oil to a 15ml roller bottle and top with Sunflower Oil.
• Skincare Addition:  Sunflower Oil is an excellent option to add to one of your existing skincare products to help boost its benefits - try adding a pump or two in your daily moisturiser or serum.
• Massage: To create a soothing and hydrating massage oil, use straight or dilute a few drops of your favourite Essential Oil into 100ml of Sunflower Oil.
• Hair Mask: Apply Sunflower Oil to hair roots, ends and your scalp to create a nourishing, repairing, and growth-boosting hair mask. Leave for as long as desired and then shampoo well.:
