Sunflower seed oil is high in unsaturated fatty acids and provides and excellent layer of protection for all skin types and keeps the skin moisturized and healthy. Great after the shower and perfect in Autumn. It is high in the essential vitamin E and low in saturated fat. It is recommended for cooking at low temperatures, or in mayonnaise and salad dressings, as it smokes at 107oC, whereas olive oil has a smoking point of 190oC oil with high levels of polyunsaturated fat. It is also known for having a clean, neutral taste. It’s also a wonderful source of vitamin B for healthy nervous and digestive symptoms; it helps relieve symptoms of arthritis; a great body moisturiser; it can lower the risk of heart disease and colon cancer, and reduces asthmatic symptoms. AS with all oil it is best to buy it organic, unrefined and in a dark glass bottle so it’s volatile oils are kept in tact. #sunflowerseedweek
