High Oleic Sunflower Oil

High Oleic Sunflower Oil 

A premium monounsaturated high-oleic sunflower oil that offers longer life due to high resistance to oxidation.

High oleic sunflower oil is a prized ingredient in both soap making and cosmetics due to its enhanced stability and moisturising properties. This oil is derived from sunflower seeds bred to contain high levels of oleic acid, typically over 80%, which significantly increases the oil's resistance to oxidation and thus extends its shelf life.

In soap making, high oleic sunflower oil is valued for its ability to contribute to a well-balanced soap bar. It offers a gentle, conditioning lather, making it suitable for delicate or sensitive skin. The oil's high oleic content ensures that soaps made with it are less prone to rancidity, which is particularly beneficial for artisanal soap makers who often seek longevity in their products. Additionally, this oil adds a silky texture to soaps, enhancing their luxurious feel.

In the realm of cosmetics, high oleic sunflower oil is widely used due to its emollient properties. It is an excellent moisturiser that helps to maintain the skin’s barrier and prevent moisture loss, making it a common ingredient in products like lotions, creams, and balms. Its natural antioxidant properties, primarily from vitamin E, also help in protecting the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage. This makes it an effective ingredient in anti-aging products.

Moreover, high oleic sunflower oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores, which makes it ideal for use in facial care products, especially for those with acne-prone skin. Its light texture and ability to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy residue appeal to consumers looking for non-oily moisturising options.
