Ingredient PROFILE

Why your skin loves it

Sunflower seed oil helps soften and condition the skin by supplementing our formula's emollient phase. Its fatty-acid content helps create a smooth skin feel and is designed to leave skin feeling comfortable and moisturized.

WHERE IT COMES FROM

Sunflower seed oil comes from the seeds of the Helianthus annuus plant. The oil is extracted from the seeds and then refined to help remove impurities and create a consistent, high-quality ingredient suitable for use in our formulations.


Beyond the seed oil we use, other parts and components of the sunflower plant can be utilized for a variety of purposes, allowing more of the plant to have potential uses across different applications.

HOW ITS THOUGHTFULLY MADE

Our supplier applies a focus on traceability, careful processing, and quality throughout the production of its sunflower seed oil. Our sunflower seed oil is refined to help ensure the quality and consistency we look for in our formulations.
 

We also value our supplier’s thoughtful approach to resource use. Within its broader sunflower-derived portfolio, materials from sunflower oil processing are upcycled to create sunflower seed wax, giving these materials another useful purpose.

WHY IT MATTERS

We chose sunflower seed oil because it helps soften and condition the skin while contributing to the rich, smooth texture of the formulas in which it is used.

We also value working with suppliers that prioritize traceability, responsible sourcing, and thoughtful use of resources. Within our supplier’s broader sunflower-derived ingredient portfolio, sunflower seed wax is produced through an upcycling process, giving a by-product of sunflower oil processing a useful application as another raw material.
