Description
Sunflower oil is extracted from the seeds of the annual sunflower plant and contains oleic and linoleic acids, proteins, triglycerides, sterols, vitamins A, D, E, and lecithin. Its composition is very similar to the lipids in our skin tissue. It is quickly absorbed and penetrates even into the deeper layers of the skin.
Effects and Usage
Sunflower oil has soothing, softening, smoothing, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. It protects the skin from losing firmness and elasticity. It is suitable for all skin types, including mature and inflamed skin. At Almara Soap, we use two types of sunflower oil. One has a high content of oleic acid, making it present in all our fancy soaps, where it adds the softness of bubbles and ensures a velvety foam, as well as in body cosmetics. The second type has a high content of linoleic acid, making it more suitable for oily skin. Therefore, we add it to soaps designed for oily skin.
