Sunflower Seed Oil is a versatile and seasonal ingredient, making it an excellent choice for summer skincare formulations. At Inky Ingredients, we offer a diverse range of Sunflower Seed Oils, including cold-pressed and refined options, to cater to various formulation needs.
What is Sunflower Seed Oil?
Sunflower Seed Oil is extracted from the seeds of the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus). It is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid, and contains vitamins A, D, and E. Our cold-pressed oils retain their natural colour and nutrient profile, while our refined oils offer a lighter colour and neutral scent, suitable for formulations where sensory neutrality is desired.
What are the benefits of Sunflower Seed Oil?
Hydration and Moisture Retention: High in linoleic acid, Sunflower Seed Oil helps maintain the skin's natural barrier, supporting its ability to retain moisture.
Antioxidant Protection: Rich in vitamin E, it provides antioxidant benefits, helping to protect the skin from environmental stressors and premature ageing.
Non-Comedogenic: Sunflower Seed Oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores, making it suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone skin.
Soothing Properties: Its anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe irritated skin and conditions like eczema.
