Organic Sunflower seed oil
Sunflower oil is a level 0 on the comedogenic scale making sure there is no chance this oil will clog pores; its light texture and absorption rate improves the speed of noticeable benefits. With moderate levels of oleic acid and rich levels of linoleic acid it works to improve both the epidermis and dermis. Improves issues such as Acne, Eczema and psoriasis.
Contains Magnesium and vitamin E. The Magnesium maintains Sebum and Collagen synthesis helping prevent dry skin and uneven skin tones. Vitamin E improves skin blood flow and Cellular regeneration, helping to fight off free radicals and improve fine lines and wrinkles. We recommend Sunflower oil for all skin types but will improve combination skin the most. Its rich levels of Oleic and Linoleic acid give numerous benefits that both oils give.

Detailed benefits of Sunflower seed oil seed below:
Oleic and Linoleic acid:
Concentration: Oleic acid: up to 42% Linoleic acid: up to 75%
Both have their benefits and concentrate on difference skin types but together they give the skin a balance of both. With Linoleic acid concentrating on the Epidermis and Oleic acid working on the Dermis you have the perfect choice for normal or combination skin types. Essentially Linolenic acid locks moisture in and balances Sebum levels while Oleic acid plumps and hydrates the Dermis, fading fine lines and wrinkles. Sunflower oil has a higher level of linoleic acid, while this doesn’t negate the benefits for dry and mature skin it does improve its benefits for balancing sebum levels and working on the epidermis.
Magnesium:
Magnesium is a naturally occurring alkaline macro mineral, there is a direct link between a deficiency in Magnesium and reduced healthy Sebum and Collagen levels. When this happens, you are likely to have dry and uneven skin tones that eventually lead to an increase in fine lines and wrinkles.
Vitamin E:
A common vitamin found in many oils but in varying concentrations, in Sunflower oil it is extraordinarily rich. It is primarily an Antioxidant that improves blood circulation while reducing the signs of ageing. It works well at cellular regeneration improving the cellular membranes of skin cells. An essential vitamin for healing scarred and blemished skin
