Sunflower Oil is a versatile vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of Helianthus annuus, native to North America but now cultivated globally. It is commonly obtained through cold pressing or refining and is valued for its light texture, neutral scent, and high content of essential fatty acids—particularly linoleic and oleic acids—as well as natural tocopherols (vitamin E). With excellent antioxidant, emollient, and anti-inflammatory properties, Sunflower Oil is widely used in food products, skincare formulations, hair care, massage therapies, and pharmaceutical preparations. Its ability to nourish and protect the skin barrier makes it a key ingredient across both wellness and industrial markets.
