The Power of Kenkay Sunflower Oil: Unveiling its Skin Benefits
Discover the radiant power of sunflower oil – a versatile ingredient extracted from the seeds of the sunflower plant – offering a multitude of benefits for your skin and a perfect addition to your daily routine!
Where it’s from
Sunflower oil is extracted from the seeds of the sunflower plant, making it great for those who are conscious of avoiding animal based ingredients. Sunflower oil is also used in cooking, making it a versatile product for use inside and out!
Benefits
- Antioxidants – sunflower oil contains vitamin E, which can help protect the collagen and elastin in the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in your face. It also contains a high level of fatty acids which are found naturally in skin.
- Non-comedogenic – suitable for all skin types, sunflower oil does not clog pores and is easily absorbed by the skin. So whether your skin is dry or oily and acne-prone, this oil will be great for you!
- Improving the skin barrier – for people who suffer from eczema and dermatitis, the skin is more prone to dehydration from water escaping the skin, as well as irritation from external sources. Sunflower oil has been shown to enhance the skin barrier and reduce inflammation due to its high levels of linoleic acid.
- Oils ain’t oils – not all vegetable oils are the same when it comes to skin. Compared to olive oil, sunflower oil better protects the skin barrier and increases hydration. And sunflower oil protects against irritations from surfactants (soaps) better than mineral oil.
