Skin Benefits of Sunflower Oil

Sunflower oil is native to North America and originates from the seeds of the sunflower plant, Helianthus annuus. Indigenous peoples of the Americas were the first to cultivate sunflowers over 4,000 years ago using the seeds for food, medicine, and oil extraction. In the 16th century Spanish explorers introduced the sunflower to Europe, where it was embraced for its beauty and agricultural value. It gained popularity in the 18th century throughout Eastern Europe, especially in Russia and Ukraine, where it became a staple cooking oil and was also used in religious fasting periods. Today, sunflower oil is globally recognized not only for its culinary uses but also for its light texture and skin-nourishing properties, making it a valuable ingredient in both nutrition and natural skincare.

Many of our products are formulated with this organic lipid as it is rich in skin-loving nutrients and ceramides that help to support the hydration and barrier repair of our largest organ. Sunflower oil contains a high concentration of linoleic acid which helps to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and calm inflammation—making it especially beneficial for dry, sensitive, or compromised skin. It is also packed with vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals, protect against environmental stressors and supports skin regeneration. It contains phytosterols and lecithin to help soften and smooth skin while promoting elasticity. it has a lightweight, non-greasy texture and absorbs easily without clogging pores, leaving skin soft, supple, and balanced.

While it might seem unconventional, organic sunflower oil is an excellent ingredient to remove stubborn makeup and cellular debris. We recommend saturating a cotton round and sweeping over the face, neck and chest 1 to 2 times without tugging. When applying to the lash line, sweep down over the lashes to keep this ingredient out of the eyes. Rinse with warm water and follow with your favorite bubbling facial cleanser and lightweight hydrator for a balanced routine.

We source our organic sunflower oil from Spain to ensure our formulations contain the purest form of this nutrient-dense ingredient that naturally rich in omega 6, 9 and vitamin E for hydrated, happy skin.
