          Refined Sunflower oil is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. It is much faster absorbing than unrefined oil, has a smoother silkier feel and leaves behind almost no greasy feeling.

          It has a lighter color, lower aroma and longer shelf life. It contains minor amounts of many vitamins and has a very high content of vitamin E. Vitamin E gives the oil a longer shelf life and is necessary for skin care. Sunflower oil is inexpensive and a versatile oil that can be used in many natural products. It is deeply penetrating and nourishing and for the skin and it is highly recommended for recipes designed to treat dry, weathered, mature and damaged skin.

          Contains less than 1% saturated fat.  It is considered Non-Allergenic (allergic reactions rare)   

Sunflower oil for skin care is a non-irritant “non-comedogenic” oil, meaning it’s easily absorbed and won’t clog your pores.

Caution: Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) however, Aroma & More recommends testing on a small area of skin to check for reaction before using on larger areas.
