Overview

Organic Sunflower Seed Oil Benefits
How to use Organic Sunflower Seed Oil

Prevents Blackheads

It is non-comedogenic carrier oil, which means that once applied it does not block or clog the pores of the skin. This avoids the presence and buildup of blackheads. Sunflower Seed carrier oil also blends well with essential oils that are used on the face. The dense oil blends with the lighter essential oils and makes it easier for the skin to absorb the nutrients.

Hair Growth

It has linoleic acids (omega-6) which are known to have several properties including moisturizing hair and promoting hair growth, wound healing and anti-ageing. It is also high in antioxidants that can eliminate or neutralize free radicals in the body and prevent the skin from wrinkling or developing fine lines. Consuming the oil with food is one way of getting its benefits.

Oleic acids

It has oleic acids (omega-9) which are known to have several properties including maintaining skin health, improving immunity and preventing joint pain. Oleic acids also have anti-inflammatory properties that are useful in treating wounds. Its presence in sunflower seed oil gives it the ability to repair damaged skin upon topical application. This is used to lower symptoms of eczema and psoriasis.

Aromatherapy

Sunflower seed oil is carrier oil that is used in aromatherapy due to its mild aroma. Its aroma is also the reason why it is used to treat respiratory issues like sinusitis. Generally, sunflower seed oil is mixed with an essential oil to enhance the aroma then diffused or topically applied to get the effect of its aroma.

How To Use Organic Sunflower Seed oil

Sunflower seed carrier oil has a multitude of medicinal properties useful in preventing, treating and curing health issues. Some of its uses are mentioned below.

Application

Skincare

To enhance skin health, add a few drops of essential oil (such as French Cypress, cinnamon or tea tree) in a tablespoon of sunflower oil and rub it on the skin daily. In traditional practices, sunflower seed oil is used as standalone oil for massaging. It is used by people involved in strenuous physical work or by athletes to relax their muscles.

Massage Blend

Prepare the perfect massage oil by mixing different essential oils (such as bergamot, frankincense or geranium) with sunflower seed oil and castor oil. This is a professional massage mix used in several parlors. The denser carrier oils will help the lighter essential oils to stay on the skin longer and get absorbed faster. Furthermore, it dilutes the concentrated essential oils.

Skin Tonic

Sunflower seed oil should be applied on the skin on a weekly basis. A cup of the oil is enough for topical application. When the oil is absorbed into the skin, it can be washed off. It has the following benefits - protects against the UV light of sun, stimulates skin regeneration, reduces stretch marks, removes blackheads and cleanses skin.

Massage Oil

Pour a tiny fraction of the oil from a cup into the palms. Use the palms to massage the oil gently (or with pressure, based on personal preference) on the skin. Apply it on the face, but make sure that the oil does not enter the eyes. To get a nice scent on the skin mix the sunflower seed oil with essential oils.

Organic Sunflower Seed Oil Uses

The oleic acid in the sunflower oil has many properties, one of which is analgesic. Hence, it is applied on minor wounds and bruises for faster healing. However, do not self-treat major wounds.

When using essential oils for the face, the choice of carrier oil is usually sunflower oil because it does not block the pores thereby producing blackheads.

The combination of sunflower oil (which is lighter oil) and castor oil (which has thicker consistency) is ideal for massages because it gives the skin extra protection and reaches deep within.
