Sunflower oil is a light yellow oil that contains vitamins A, C, D, E and is high in linoleic acid. It is obtained from the milling of the seeds of the sunflower Helianthus annus. Sunflower oil is rich in vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant. Furthermore, vitamin E is specifically related to improving skin health and regenerating cells. This means that your skin is better protected against damage from the sun, as well as the natural degradation of age that occurs when free radicals are present in the body. Antioxidants like vitamin E neutralize free radicals, keeping them from destroying or damaging healthy cells. You can see an increased reduction in scars, quicker wound healing, and a healthier natural glow to your skin. This is why sunflower oil is commonly used in cosmetic applications!
