Product description

Organic cold-pressed low-oleic (LO) sunflower oil is the virgin grade rich in linoleic acid for cosmetic formulations. The pale yellow oil has a subtle, characteristic nutty natural odour and is suitable for formulations in which the natural character of sunflower oil is to be retained.

The oil is obtained by gentle cold pressing of organic sunflower kernels. Because it is not refined, the oil retains its characteristic colour, subtle natural odour and natural accompanying substances.

From a formulation perspective, the low-oleic grade is characterised in particular by its high proportion of linoleic acid, complemented by oleic acid and palmitic acid. Sunflower oil also contains vitamin E. The oil can be used as a base oil in oil blends and emulsions. Its characteristic natural odour should be taken into account when developing the fragrance concept, and its fatty acid profile rich in linoleic acid when planning the antioxidant stabilisation of the formulation.

The product is suitable for facial and body oils, creams and lotions, oil blends, cleansing and bath products and other cosmetic formulations. For formulations with a more neutral sensory profile, sunflower oil is also available as a refined low-oleic (LO) grade. We also offer a refined high-oleic (HO) grade with a fatty acid profile rich in oleic acid.

Manufacturing process

Cold-pressed (oils)

Cold-pressed (oils)

Natural

Obtained by pressing without external heat, then filtered – neither refined nor deodorised.

The term ‘cold-pressed’ means that the oil has been obtained by pressing without the application of external heat and then filtered. It is neither refined nor deodorised. The term gives no precise indication of the temperature actually reached.

Cold-pressed oils have a limited shelf life and – with a few exceptions – should not be heated to high temperatures.
