Sunflower Oil
Helianthus annuus
Lightweight, Protective Nourishment for Skin & Hair
Cold-pressed from sunflower seeds, this golden oil is rich in linoleic acid (omega-6), vitamin E, and antioxidants like lecithin. Its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture strengthens the skin barrier, calms inflammation, and locks in moisture without clogging pores—ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, or eczema-prone skin. For hair, it adds shine, reduces frizz, and soothes dry scalps. A versatile carrier oil, it blends seamlessly into serums, massage oils, or DIY balms. With a non-comedogenic rating (0-1), it’s gentle enough for daily use. Shelf-stable for 12–18 months; store in a cool, dark place.
Lyddies Botanics’ Note: Certified organic, sustainably sourced from family farms in Europe, and 100% unrefined to preserve its natural tocopherols. A humble hero for formulations prioritizing gentle, universal care. 🌻
Tip: Pair with calendula extract for soothing baby care products or use as a base for antioxidant-rich facial oils. Avoid if allergic to sunflower seeds (rare).
