Sunflower (Helianthus Annuus) Oil is better known for its use in the food industry than for its therapeutic uses. It is an oil rich in skin nurturing fatty acids with high amounts of therapeutic vitamins A, D, and E. Our Sunflower Seed Oil is light-textured and has a pleasant scent. It is easily absorbed and is suitable for all skin types. It makes an ideal general purpose oil for both skincare and massage. It is also safe and gentle for baby care.
Professional Tips:
The experts at Base Formula recommend blending Sunflower Carrier Oil 50/50 with Grapeseed Oil for an inexpensive massage base, ideal for student practice, CPD activities and demonstration purposes.
Sunflower Oil is ideal for thinning heavier oils when you don't want the skin to feel weighed down.
For massage, if you require more slippage try adding a small amount of a drier, heavier oil such as Castor Oil.
Heat stable so can be used in the fat stage when making creams and lotions.
