And by even more we mean putting it all over your face as sunflower oil is one of the most commonly used plant oils in skincare. It’s a real oldie: expressed directly from the seeds, the oil is used not for hundreds but thousands of years. According to The National Sunflower Association, there is evidence that both the plant and its oil were used by American Indians in the area of Arizona and New Mexico about 3000 BC. Do the math: it's more than 5000 years – definitely an oldie. Expand to read more Our intro did get pretty big after all (sorry for that), so let's get to the point finally: sunflower oil - similar to other plant oils - is a great emollient that makes the skin smooth and nice and helps to keep it hydrated. It also protects the surface of the skin and enhances the damaged or irritated skin barrier. Leslie Bauman notes in Cosmetic Dermatology that one application of sunflower oil significantly speeds up the recovery of the skin barrier within an hour and sustains the results 5 hours after using it. It's also loaded with fatty acids (mostly linoleic (50-74%) and oleic (14-35%)). The unrefined version (be sure to use that on your skin!) is especially high in linoleic acid that is great even for acne-prone skin. Its comedogen index is 0, meaning that it's pretty much an all skin-type oil. Truth be told, there are many great plant oils and sunflower oil is definitely one of them. It's the yellow, solid stuff that you probably know from beeswax candles. It's a natural material produced by honey bees to build their honeycomb. As for skincare, it's used as an emollient and thickening agent. It's super common in lip balms and lipsticks. We don't have description for this ingredient yet. A clear, slightly yellow, odorless oil that's a very common, medium-spreading emollient. It makes the skin feel nice and smooth and works in a wide range of formulas. Unless you live under a rock you must have heard about shea butter. It's probably the most hyped up natural butter in skincare today. It comes from the seeds of African Shea or Karite Trees and used as a magic moisturizer and emollient. But it's not only a simple emollient, it regenerates and soothes the skin, protects it from external factors (such as UV rays or wind) and is also rich in antioxidants (among others vitamin A, E, F, quercetin and epigallocatechin gallate). If you are looking for rich emollient benefits + more, shea is hard to beat. It’s the most commonly used version of pure vitamin E in cosmetics. You can read all about the pure form here. This one is the so-called esterified version. According to famous dermatologist, Leslie Baumann while tocopheryl acetate is more stable and has a longer shelf life, it’s also more poorly absorbed by t what‑it‑does irritancy, com. emollient | viscosity controlling | emulsifying | perfuming emollient | surfactant/cleansing emollient | perfuming perfuming | viscosity controlling antioxidant | skin brightening | buffering emollient | viscosity controlling antioxidant | emollient soothing | antioxidant | moisturizer/humectant antioxidant | moisturizer/humectant soothing | perfuming soothing | antioxidant | perfuming antioxidant | soothing | skin brightening | perfuming moisturizer/humectant skin-identical ingredient | moisturizer/humectant skin brightening | soothing solvent | moisturizer/humectant skin-identical ingredient | emollient moisturizer/humectant | solvent antimicrobial/antibacterial | solvent | viscosity controlling moisturizer/humectant | emollient skin-identical ingredient | antioxidant | moisturizer/humectant cell-communicating ingredient | moisturizer/humectant cell-communicating ingredient | soothing | antioxidant emulsifying | surfactant/cleansing
