CO Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower Oil)
Cold-pressed sunflower seed oil is a plant-derived emollient rich in triglycerides, especially linoleic acid, with smaller amounts of oleic acid and natural tocopherols. In skincare it primarily softens skin, reduces trans-epidermal water loss, and supports barrier function. It is generally lightweight compared with many botanical oils and is often well tolerated by dry, sensitive, and compromised skin when used in anhydrous or emulsified products.

Risks & Warnings
Generally low-risk, but as a natural oil it can oxidize over time, which may reduce stability and increase the chance of odor changes or sensitization in poorly preserved formulas. Rare plant-allergy reactions can occur. Because it is an oil-rich emollient, it may feel heavy for some acne-prone users depending on the overall formula.
