Sunflower Oil (helianthus annuus) is pressed from the seeds of sunflower. It is native to North America and cultivated in many countries around the world. Sunflower oil is not only an important part of a diet, but also very beneficial for the skin. It is rich in linoleic acid to help maintain the skin barrier and prevent water loss. Its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce skin irritation, redness and acne. Sunflower oil promotes skin elasticity and softness.
