Sunflower oil resembles our own skin’s sebum and mirrors our
natural skins lipids. It is a lighter carrier oil and good for oil-based
cleansers and oily skin. It is also good for bruising and massage.
Kokokahn's Sunflower Oil is of the highest quality. It is cold pressed from the sunflower seed. Cold pressed carrier oils are the most therapeutic. Refined carrier oils are refined through high heat processing or chemical solvents which strip the carrier of any natural health benefits and can leave chemical solvent residue in the oil. While the shelf life is shorter with cold pressed carrier oils, the quality is far superior. Sunflower oil has a shelf life of 3 years from the time it is cold pressed.
Cold-pressed, unrefined Sunflower oil is a pale yellow color with a nutty aroma.
Our sunflower oil is high in oleic acid and vitamin E making it a good antioxidant and free radical scavenger. It is a good carrier for keeping skin youthful or to help restore some youth to the skin.
