Sunflower Seed Oil

Sunflower Seed Oil

Historians believe that the Sunflower was the first ever crop domesticated by the Native Americans about 5,000 years ago in the Mexico territory of the Americas -- the whole plant was used for food and medicine, (i.e. seeds ground up to make flour, oil used for cooking & healing, etc.). By the mid-1800s, Sunflower Seed Oil was being used and sold across the world for its benefits in cooking and beauty regimens. Sunflower Seed Oil is derived from a non-GMO crop, which means it is one of the only naturally non-GMO oils in the marketplace.

Sunflower Seed Oil contains tons of vitamins and minerals, including oleic acid and omega 9 acid, which are needed to stop breakage and stimulate hair growth, cutting down on frizz and adding shine. This oil has very high levels of vitamins A, C and E (tocopherol):

• Vitamin A helps the glands on the skin produce sebum, an oily substance that moisturizes the scalp, keeping the hair healthy.
• Vitamin C aids in the creation of the protein, collagen, which improves hair volume, keeps hair strong and encourages hair growth through cell regeneration.
• Vitamin E reduces bacteria that contributes to product buildup and dry scalp.

Sunflower Seed Oil is extremely lightweight and contains low levels of trans fat, which aids in hydrating and strengthening the hair without weighing it down -- it is also one of the best oils for beard care. A natural SPF and thermal protector for the hair, Sunflower Seed Oil is the perfect hair and skin care ingredient for summer.
